No, if you prepare your Jeep for water fording, none of that will happen.Enough said.
You're comparing a possible dent, a paint scrape or an easily replaceable broken part to possibly flooding your motor, tranny and all the modern electronics. Makes sense.
Yes, we both have snorkels. I wouldn't attempt that w/o one. That would be like rock crawling w/o a roll cage. LOLCan't tell did you and the Toyota have a snorkel? Very nice vids.
I need to go see my Chiropractor after watching that.No, if you prepare your Jeep for water fording, none of that will happen.
I'm comparing it to this:
Some Jeepers on the video are hard core-wheelers, but many others are the regular Jeepers "off-roading and going way off the beaten trail and rock climbing"
You can add a roll-cage, a 5-point harness and wear a helmet, but that may not guarantee you coming out off a roll-over in one piece. But I guess for you, your engine is more important than getting hurt. Makes sense.
My Sahara says on the back gate. (This is with stock wheels of course, so take tires and lift kits into consideration. Ribi take offs aren't a lot taller, so the same number would apply.)Hey people... I was wondering what is the max safe water depth a stock sport/sahara can drive through without stalling out. I dont have a lift yet, but I have the 33 rubi tires on. How deep have any of you gone?
I installed jet packs. Water crossings are a no brainer nowI was able to drive through 42-43 inches of water, for approx 1/4 mile. I drained the axle fluids after that, but all tests showed no water had gotten in them. Lucky for me that everything was cold, when I drove through it all, or it would have cooled down, and sucked the water in, through the vent/breather tubes.
I guess my idea of fun is different than these guys.No, if you prepare your Jeep for water fording, none of that will happen.

Water didn't look that deep but you drove in too fast and out ran the now wave so it broke over the hood.
Went pretty deep. Water was over the hood for a few seconds.
