The water was all the way up to the top of the drivers seat. My passenger and myself got out of the jeep to stand on the right rear tire to keep it from rolling into the water hole so we could hook up a winch. We hooked up two winch lines. One to stabilize and one to recover. Luckily the only damage the jeep suffered was wet carpets as this could have been a total loss. Anyone else ever come this close to losing their jeep while offroading?

Damn!!! First, great looking Jeep. I'm glad it (and you) made it out safely. If you would have flopped into the water that could have been very, very bad. Nothing to get the blood pumping like having to do a wet exit from a vehicle.
