You’re going to get banned if you keep posting videos just to push your YouTube channel. It’s happened many times.

Just put a link to your channel in your signature.
Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t know that.

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.
Everybody knows that a vehicle with a snorkel is completely invinceable, especially the Toyotas that you see with snorkels at the mall.

At approximately 4:58 mark the front dipped in pretty deep. I was worried the water would go into the air intake.
You still had a good 8" till the air intake.
I would definitely check your axle and transfer case breather tubes though!

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.
Gotta figure anywhere the water touches the engine block is going to be around 200F. Gonna instantly steam off.
Also with all that muddy water, probably be sure to spray out your radiators. Probably have some trapped mud that can cause cooling issues.

I did flush out the radiator. I guess I have to check the axle and transfer case tubes. Thanks for the advice.
