Finially caught up on your progress. Glad all is well, I thought of your jeep on my last wheeling trip when I came up to a deep mud hole. Decided I'll take the switchback and go around haha

Either walk it first or creep through the first time, no shame in backing out if it looks sticky, sure beats 6 months in rehab.

Yeah I tried creeping in, went in backed out, went a little farther and it turned nasty, back out and couldn't go to far, pulled forward then back then stuck.. That's when my feet started getting wet

this was me 4 years ago.
cold air intake and no water taken into the engine.


still runs strong.

but i would change your oil then pull the coil wire or unplug your cps and crank the engine with the plugs out.

then change your oil again.

You might as well start looking for a couple new fuse boxes. Both of your kick panel fuse boxes were under water... they will eventually corrode and you'll have all kinds of electrical problems.

Pretty awesome lesson learned though. Well done!

I'm going to guess that's a JY only part? There's still a bunch of mud caked on the panel so I believe a few of wires have shorted out. Probably why my rear defroster doesn't work

It'd probably be worth it to pull all the fuses out of the panels and replace them. While you have the fuses out, use some contact cleaner on the female ends.
