Gotta agree with this comment.....I purchased an off road machine, not a submarine. I mean, a little creek, shallow mud area is going to happen. But to see how far you can go under water up to the door handles is ludicrous, sorry.

Wow, you must have an unlimited supply of cash to pull a stunt like this! I have a little more respect for my high dollar investment. Yeah, it looks 'cool' but how cool when you replace your engine?

A little more respect? I am literally insulted by your statement. My Jeep is incredibly important to me. My vehicle is maintained properly, is in great condition, and so has every Jeep I've ever owned. Try learning your vehicle's limitations before making assumptions about anyone.

I don't normally go through incredibly deep water, but there is always a potential. I prefer rock crawling and long distance Overland-style trails that are long enough to require camping along them to complete. I ussually avoid mud when possible but water crossings can and do happen. I generally hit a trail around once a month with her and promptly take care of any post-trail ride maintenance. Even with all this, she still has her new jeep smell, lol.

Again though, I have plenty of respect for my Jeep. Mechanically and cosmetically she is in great condition and will continue to be as she is cared for by someone with experience on the trail and who DOES respect their vehicle.



What if I rolled over?!? Gasp!


My Jeep doesn't stay in parking lots...
