Yea, I was actually considering sending some pics in for one of the whoops editions. Think it would make it in?

Glad you made it out safely. Would be interested to know what kind of water damage (if any) occurred. Will you be having it checked out?

The only water damage I incurred was wet carpet. I have already taken all the carpet out and thoroughly dried it. While I had it out I took the time to dynamat the whole interior to help with road noise and to make the stereo sound better. It made a huge difference.

OMG!!

Glad I know about that now, I am sure I will wheel there someday. Glad everything went well, it just makes us all want a snorkle lol, but if you sunk that wouldn't have helped, lol. Maybe they will invent emergency flotation undercarriage airbags, that can be another mod we dream about lol!

Funny you say that as we were talking about that it would be neat to have inflatable bags or something that you could pull a cord or hit a button from inside to make them inflate as soon as you thought you were going to sink it. Would need to be made out of really tough material like raft boats or something though. It's actually a really good idea for those that deal with deep water crossings. I wonder if they would sell if someone made them.

Wow did drowning ever cross your mind? I know that sounds stupid but I've always had bad dreams of drowning in a vehicle. I'm glad you and the jeep made it out. Wow!

Maybe you should go get scuba certified before you go again. Glad you saved it.
