I don't mind water too much, but screw mud. Here's a couple videos from today. Pretty lame, but my little sister just got her learner's license and I let her drive the Jeep a little at our place. Nothing special, but she told me to film it.

You shouldn't need to unless you already have leaky gaskets or submerged trans or diff vent tubes.

THat was hard bottom stuff. It just looks really muddy cause it was fresh rain runoff.

But I'll be changing the rear diff soon. Why? Because I'm a dumbass. When I threw the 8.8 in I was in a rush and didn't feel like dealing with the breather tube (taking 5 seconds to zip-tie it up the fuel filler tube), so I just shoved it into the frame rail  :D. Anyways, I felt like it was fine there for that trip (Tellico at the time) and it was. No deep water there. So I completely forgot about it after that until I got back on here and saw Chris's post. I've checked the fluid many times and it has looked fine. So being very lazy today I first watched the vid again and yep, the whole frame went under. So I walked out to the Jeep just to have a look. I pulled the tube out and it was still soaking wet cause the breather tip was sitting all the way at the end where water was sitting.... nice. fluid looks ok, but if there was a lot of water in there it would be at the bottom. If it was in there for awhile it would be really milky. So I'll change it in a couple of days. Most likely tomorrow. Anyways, tie up your hoses.  :P

Yeah, I actually pulled my front one out last time at tellico on that short trip. My upper arm pulled it out from extreme flex and it was hangin down. Glad no water to speak of anywhere. Well, don't be lazy! ;)

Ok so I just watched the video of the "land tank" and wow... I mean I understand pushing your rig to the limits and all but ummm wow. How hard do you feel you need to go before you roll it off the side of a mountain?
