I’ve been deeper than that with every snorkel equipped Jeep I’ve owned over the years. Never had a single problem as a result.
The JL has been headlight deep before the snorkel went on but did manage to get air filter wet, definitely dodged a bullet that trip out.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that current was scary. I've had the pleasure of being washed downstream in a previous Jeep before. While it only took me maybe 4-5’ it scared the living daylights out of me.
I’m in no rush to ever experience that sensation again.

You might want to check where your transfer case vent is. Mine is on top of the transfer case at 27 inches, not the 33.6 water fording clearance Jeep claims. If yours is in the same place as mine I’d say you’d was below the waterline. Look at the picture.

Thanks, i had the checked and also I have ARB breather connected to the diff and transfer case.

I have been in deep water many times. One of my most recent water crossings.

@conFUcius Here are those lights you like. They look decent in this video.

At one point in my life I was a swift water rescue technician. The force of the water on that vehicle is no joke. Note how he keeps it angled upstream to counter the flow. Crossing moving vs standing water are two very different things.

I’ll take some measurements and see if you ( ) are installing them or we do something in front of the RR platform.

I read the cap is a one way breather and designed to not allow water in if submerged. The rear axle breather is mounted pretty low too, but has the same cap.

Awesome, have crossed similar up here. Always moved my jeep down the stream a bit. Some what pucker factor because it feels much different then it looks. But fun stuff!

I seriously doubt that. When pressure starts to build, it raises up. Plastic floats, when it becomes submerged, it raises up. I would still change it. Jeep doesn’t care, and says it is correct. I say bs. It lists the hose and cap at $25. Just the cap is $5. It is your choice $25 or several thousand for a new transfer case and possibly a new transmission.
