Edit: As you watch them float away ber in mind that all that water is glacier run off. It's ICE cold.
Wow, that water is pushing that Jeep around like its nothing. Crazzzy.

Stupid kid should have at least had a snorkel...It was stupid to even try to cross that creek/river...water was halfway up the front, and the intakes on Wranglers are low...I do hope he had shut off that engine so he didn't throw anything...course, it probably don't matter now...:(

I had my 90 Jeep up to the dash in a river in MO.

Had to have a 2 story road grader pull me out.
Pulled the plugs to clear the water .... but the oil looked like gravy.

Towed 60 miles, to a garage that had to empty everything.
Even the gas tank.

I stayed over nite across the street overnite...
... and they had me back on the road by 5pm.

total cost ... $480 .. with towing !

The mechanics knew exactly where I got stuck.
Apparently, many fall victom to the extremly clear water ...

... and the 'moving sandbar'

They had a good laugh.

Those Mattracks would not likely have saved that guy.

Most likely ... like me ... he got water into the Air box ... that
sits behind the grill.

If I had a SNORKEL ... I would have made my way

There is a 'point of no return' when in water...
