THAT WAS CLOSE…

Jumped around, saw nothing over hubs for water. What's the time stamp for this deep water I couldn't find?

I almost drowned my JL. The water got up to the hood and then started smoking. I think it’s time to invest in a snorkel. Close call.

Tom, I didn’t see your close call - at least, nothing that came close to requiring a snorkel. I may have missed it. Where in the video is the close call?

I was worried the water would go into the air intake.

Your videos aren’t bad. Hopefully you won’t succumb to using clickbait titles and the shocked and horrified faces like so many U-Tooberz. If you want a snorkel get a snorkel.

Riding through the woods is one of my favorite things in the world, so I watched the entire video. While nicely done, there's nothing I saw that would match the text in the OP's post. What I saw at 4:58 barely reached the top of the tire, and then only for a second. My stock Sport could handle that.

Maybe edit the clickbait thread title to suggest that a nice forested trail video awaits.

At approximately 4:58 mark the front dipped in pretty deep. I was worried the water would go into the air intake.

Tom, with all due respect, that wasn’t deep; the deepest you got was significantly well-below the air intake.

I got a little worried because after going through the water this happened. But I guess the water was sitting on top of the hot engine.

Still got some muddy dirt on the engine. Needs some good cleaning.

That's a fair concern, and you were right to stop for a safety check. ?

Tom, nothing to worry about regarding the steam. Any water touching the lower side of your engine and/or transmission will throw some steam. That’s normal, sir.

You can briefly traverse water that is deeper than the stock fording depth. Just don’t linger in it more than a few seconds or so.

hopefully he succumbs to putting a hot young woman in skimpy clothing in the videos.

There’s no shame in being extra careful with a water crossing. Hydro lock is expensive.
