Just because you people aren't into this type of fun doesn't mean you judge other people that are. He's a grown man. He's money got him this jeep, so therefore he does what he wants with it. Im 19 years old and I known how to respect people better than most people in these comments.
I just watched your video. I have a rear mounted winch as well. If I ever get as adventurous as you, I will make sure it is mounted ahead of time. I keep it in the cargo area like you do, however the fact that you were able to hook it up under the water and do a self recovery is pretty amazing. Well done.
Thank you Tadd! I use the receiver hitch with a Warn cable system on it for fast plug in. I also contacted Warn as to what winch to purchase as I used an 8000 Warn then went with a higher end 9500 Warn later. Truck ran for years, sold it late last year. Had so much fun with it and I did a lot of mods on it, most hidden to allow me to do water runs like this. My other videos have some of the detailed mods listed. Have fun!
Those kids had a blast.. all the people on here saying the kids were in dange i feel sorry for your kids . People like you guys are turning our country into a bunch of cowards who r afraid to sleep without the lights on.. and will never have a day of fun in their whole lives
Some people fix up their trucks to mud or rock crawl, others fix it up to cross lakes.. Don't hate he's obviously put a lot of love into that jeep prolly more love and time than many of you ever have to your vehicles. I'm currently working on an all terrain vehicle. Little bit of everything. Nothing too extreme lol
I met Gary while running the trails in MD when he lost his pulley. I winched him out with my 98 XJ. One of the nicest people you wanna meet and just fun to hang with. He is not bs when he talks of all the mods he has on his jeep. He has put alot of time and effort to have alot of fun.
amazing how all the electronics still work even when submerged that far ... I know the dash lights are not happy but the jeep keep on going. Awesome video
Daniel, nice to see someone with reading comprehension skills man-I was getting worried about our school system-haha. This repeats on so many UA-cam videos, not just mine but anyhow thanks for viewing and enjoy my Jeep escapades. Gary
That's one hell of a rig. It's what you can't see that counts. Not too many people have the stomach to do that kind of thing with a modern unibody SUV. Good work.
"Let's test how well this new thing works, never mind it will fuck up everything else in this vehicle, as long as my upgrade works." Yep, that's logic at it's very best!
Actually, Jeep is fine, you clearly do not read the description where Jeep is prepped and 1.6 Million views on UA-cam of what it can do. In fact, it is sitting in my parking lot as I drove it to work today.
you are nuts ...in a good way ....I can not believe that the electronics in that jeep still work !!! your a mad man ......keep on wheeling way to show the younger generation
You never know until you try I guess. I'm looking into buying an 06 so I'm just looking at some proformance videos to see the Cherokee's capability. Thanks for the post 👍😊
Great platform, but there are a lot of mods on this unit. I would get a HEMI and the Quadradrive II system (ESDL x 2) if youa re going to seriously wheel. AWESOME once you dielectric every single electrical connection!
@@2000ViperGTSsubscribe I live in Florida in the city at the moment, but moving out to the country. I most likely won't be crossing anything as near as deep as you did, but during hurricane season you just never know how much water you're going to need to cross to get to dry land. I would love the 5.7 but at the same time need the economy of the 3.7. I really appreciate you giving me your input & advise for this vehicle. So after all that the electrical system was fine? No hydrolock? No smoking or knocking?
@@ahuertas69 I have snokle system and all electrical connections are dielectric greased. See my other videos on my Jeep. Do NOT go with the 3.7 for off road-you will be in bad shape doing so.
@@2000ViperGTSsubscribe Thanks for the advice sir. Maybe I'll get the 3.7 for the wife then. She's not as adventurous as I am. How's the 4.7 V8? Obviously the Hemi is the way to go, but the fuel economy sucks at 13 mpg.
@Fuscoooo Maybe, it still works and I have a lifetime warranty on the winch as I paid an extra $100 from 4 wheel drive parts for the lifetime warranty, but it has never failed me yet bro :-) SH*T THE WATER WAS COLD AS HELL! :-)
Been through this exact part before in this WK, the successes are filmed, some are even on UA-cam from other UA-cam users, I prefer to post fails personally.
Almost a year ago, you saved my friends ass, who you had never even met before when we went off roading in New Jersey. I do not really know you, you don't really know me or my friends, but there's a lot to be said about someone who will bend over backwards to help a stranger in need. Thank you. Haters gunna hate, fuck 'em
What you jack wagons dont know, is this has its electronics all worked over and sealed, 33" tires, lift kit, suspension kit, superchips, interior bilge pumps and a worked over motor. Ive seen it in person. FAR FROM STOCK. its a monster.
They actually do still work, there is a module udner the driver's seat that needs waterproofing and I already did that. You CANNOT do this on a stock WK by ANY means.
My winch goes front OR rear with my receiver and quick hook up connections. It has since been replaced with an industrial 9500 Warn, lifted higher and bigger/badder tires along with more armor.
Nothing personal but why use such a late model for that? I mean with leather interior and all that electrics I think you should have built something from the 90's for such abuse. That poor GC will probably stink inside forever now but glad you are the kids made it out unharmed
There is no carpet inside and I bought the Jeep just to go camping and wheeling. It is all relative, so many kids on here, but financially we are good so to me I like having something I can throw a lot of gear in and I do like the leather, cruise control and such. I would do this all over again-this Jeep rocks and KEEPS GOING OVER AND OVER>
So after everything dried out you didn't have any trouble? If so that's great! Thanks for replying, I'm genuinely interested as I'm considering one of these for our camping trips.
Secret ! All is good, but if you look at the video intro under description, this was not a stock Jeep. They are a GREAT platform, but for water runs and crazy fun like I do, it will require a lot of mods. Mine has been all over and is a blast :-)
+2000ViperGTS But at the time the electrics and all weren't sealed, so I was wondering how much trouble you had when everything was wet. I read about the work you did after this, sounds cool. Did you have to replace any of the electronics after this mishap?
Secret ! Nearly all connections already had dielectric grease on them already. Nothing was replaced after this other than my amp in the driver's rear panel which I did not know was there.
so i dont know why people dont read the description... i see We are testing the watertight thus... Testing COMPLETE!!!!! HAHAHAHA although i woulda waited till summer to test...
A lot of water proofing like double bags on the body control module, dielectric grease on every fitting, relocated and extended vents and had water OVER my dash already but everything is fine. I had my Jeep apart many times, and into electronics having built even my own radios as a kid so made this to take serious water bogging which is common for my area.
Like having fun? This is what I do-have fun and a LOT of it. My Jeep now has a lot better self cleaning mud tires, a submersible 9500 Warn XTI industrial winch, waterproofed some things I did not know about and never had a problem since. My snorkels held up fine and I can drive UNDER WATER now and I would put my WK up against any WK on mixed terrain and been wheeling with the best and I can outperform most rigs out there and it is also unique to boot. So many haters on here for me having FUN!
Looks like a of fun but i bet that cold water sucked! I recently got a 94 Nissan hardbody in like mint condition from an elderly guy and i take it to Durhamtown Plantation a few times during the Summer months but i have never tried taking it through anything this deep. You did get lucky that the water didn't end up giving you electrical problems.
Was the Jeep considered totaled afterward because of water damage? Or was the Jeep kind of an off road beater and you didn't mind? I always wondered what happens after a car fills up with water like that.
It'll be fine, just needs to dry out. A guys '96 Subaru crashed through the ice in Finland, sat at the bottom of a lake for 3 months, they pulled it out and after changing all the fluids and flushing out the cylinders it started right up. Even the electrical still worked.
I love the quality and angle of the filming in your scuba driving indecent. I too am one of those Nuts that take a nice v8 Grand Cherokee and water proof it, After the fact I sank one in the drink years ago and learning the expensive lesson of how water does not compress in a cylinder like gas and air. It am 3 hours north of you but most of my wheeling roots stem from the wet south Jersey Pines. If every you make it up my way, I would invite you join men and my bud's on our trails here in NY.
Sorry if you answered this in the comments, but there are a ton and I couldn't find it... Also, I'm surprised it flooded so quickly. I've had my WJ that deep and no water came in. Have you done anything to make it more waterproof?
Thomas Maresh From the time of the video, yes however it makes it float longer-lol. The thing is I want water to roll in to some extent so it does not float, and I can control the pumps now too to enable or disable, but by default they come on at roughly 3 inches of water or more when the float closes the circuit.
Thanks for the information about the snorkel , However I'm fully aware of this . Ok Snorkel provides air to the engine what about all other Vital components ? . like the Air filter , Ignition , Abs , Box Fuse , Esp , Radio , Satnav , Fuel Tank Electric windows , Electric fuel pump, Injectors , Ignition plugs , Starter motor . You cant water proof all , The notion a snorkel will keep the car in running condition after a being deep mud waters is ridicules.
I think I know who your friends are and yes, I did not know their names. I was shopping and my friend Christian called me with his 911 call for them. I did not have my Jeep but got it and damn they were stuck for 4 hours in that Range Rover in an off limits area. I hooked up, and then had to winch me AND them out with my winch. Anyhow, you can thank Christian as I love him and any friends of his I will help without saying :-) Gary
+iBoZzoxX Lift, armor and tires. ANY water is a PITA for a GC WK just FYI, this took major mods to do and they are not water friendly. Other than that, they are terrific off road vehicles out the box-esp with ELSD's and a Hemi. Have fun!
Can water enter in through the exhaust? With the header submerged, I'd think the water pressure could push back into the motor. Maybe a higher exhaust exit is needed?
Never ever had a problem with it. There will be some intrusion into the interior of the pipe, but it has never shut down or impeded the performance that I noticed. This vehicle ran for roughly 12 years before I sold it and I honestly miss it.
@@2000ViperGTSsubscribe that's awesome. I came up with the same idea for the intake recently and started to Google search it, and ended up finding your videos. So far you're the only example I've seen of one running, and for my purposes your videos are a success! I'm thinking of doing something similar with my RX-8. The idea is too fun and quirky to let go now. I can imagine in certain circumstances there could be gains in places, nothing crazy, but I still like the idea of the dynamics at play on the highway. Little worried about intake sound, but not enough to discourage me. Thanks for the inspiration, I'm still looking at things and getting ideas!
Anyone with a brain, like the 11 people who gave you a thumbs up would have submerged their winch and possibly not needing it. READ THE DESCRIPTION and watch my other videos, I have driven through this before with no issues. Your winch, if you had one, is likely trashed Mr. Internet Commando and friends.
2000ViperGTS I've personally have never seen a winch that was not water proof lmfao they are made to no on the out side of any 4x4 bud think about it once again with a brain
You are an idiot if you think a winch is waterproof. Once again, you do not wheel hard saying that and I sold more Warn winches than you ever saw likely. Really call Warn tomorrow between your periods in high school and ask about their common waterproof winches that are submerged-LMAO. ANOTHER INTERNET IDIOT.
2000ViperGTS Example # 1 : milemarker.com/product/sec95-es/ Example #2:www.google.com/search?q=sumgrdgabke+winch&oq=sumgrdgabke+winch&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.12784j1j9&client=ms-android-verizon&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=Hs1gODpe-Lu9EM:&scso=uid_BQtpW8aOH4Gd5gKzyJPACA_0:123 So I'm and so forth my ever so clever friend take it down a notch that's the problem today's day and age I get you no older than 33 years old acting like a child still and calling another individual (high schooler) fuck I wish I was in school again live life all over who wouldn't?
Ignore the haters, Gary. I just discovered your videos. Your life, live it, man. Screw everyone else. And nice, innovative and very original "snorkel" setup!
on another note a friend of mine had a rig the had ballast tanks he would pump full of water when he hit a water crossing to help the truck keep traction when in deep water it worked well for him
I am glad to have watched it. great job, real life fun with the little ones is always better than staying at home in front of the tv. It is you Jeep to do with what you want, if you have the money to invest, no one has the right to say anything negative. Where were you, looks like the pine barrens in New Jersey. Its just my opinion but, i think this is what Jeep'n is all about. your rig your time your money your choices your friends and family, push the boundaries. The kids had fun
The locks are mechanical, the only Dodge electronic lock is in a Viper. We also keep the doors unlocaked anyow and the sunroof open AND I have dual batteries seperated by marine switches. I'm an electronics nerd myself :-)
The issue with that is that it will hurt the winch getting submerged in water as I go through and I have been through this place before so I opted not to install it :-)
I applaud the enthusiasm with the blind run!!! Eff yeah! I know you have probably answered this before but was there any serious damage aside from new carpet?
+Rincon009 I don't even have carpet and no damage. The run was not blind my friend-I crossed this before in this Jeep. It all depends on the line and how much rain came in, but always fun as I could care less about being stuck. In fact, if I don't get stuck at least a few times each time I wheel, it is boring to me.
I liked this vid because the person who owns this jeep is taking it way beyond it's capability and doing things other people wouldn't do with the pieces of crap thats in there drive way but they talk this rig down so kudos to the owner keep on doing things your way it's original innovative and functional let the haters hate
It was an M8000 Warn and it finally died after running under water many times. I have a 9500xti now, built for a LOT more abuse. The Jeep is a lot higher now with much more aggressive tires :-)
It was a stock winch and they will run under water for a bit, but will die fast if you run it like that. Mine ran for 2 years running and now it is dead but replaced with a much better Warn industrial strength unit that is over double the cost of a normal winch.
LOL as I keep driving and driving. I drive this 86 miles EACH day to and from my business! Not road worthy? Do you even READ the amount of prep work that went into this Jeep?
I don't know why people get so upset at this. It's your jeep to do what you want with. You pay to play. And if you're any kind of off-roader, you know you are going to break something eventually. I say carry on
love ya vids i drowned my 2005 Jeep grand cherokee Limited 6mnth ago picking it up on saturday , still cant find a NZ abs module to replace the one i drowned , good fun , i might post my vid now , it was nearly fully submerged lol keep it up bud , love the idea of a bilge pump , Note to all late model jeep owners always leave ur windows down when water crossing and watch the steering lock mine got wet n caused total vehicle drown lol
That takes "gold balls" to do that one. Went through that with my Honda 450ES. I remember my buddy saying, "doesn't mean it will go everywhere"....my wj is lifted and locked w/4:56...I couldn't bring myself to do that bro. Hat off to yah. Oh, I am a big puss about keeping my gear dry....could mean life or death. Thanks for being man enough to show your "failure?"....Takes a man to admit to it. Best regards...
Its videos like these that prove if your complaining about a leaky sunroof in your jeep, you don't deserve a Jeep

Sweet its your car do what you want. I'm glad it all worked out for you. The ability to waterproof electronics will continue to get better and better.

The idea is too fun and quirky to let go now. I can imagine in certain circumstances there could be gains in places, nothing crazy, but I still like the idea of the dynamics at play on the highway. Little worried about intake sound, but not enough to discourage me. Thanks for the inspiration, I'm still looking at things and getting ideas!
Anybody with a brain would have the winch in place before doing this.
Anyone with a brain, like the 11 people who gave you a thumbs up would have submerged their winch and possibly not needing it. READ THE DESCRIPTION and watch my other videos, I have driven through this before with no issues. Your winch, if you had one, is likely trashed Mr. Internet Commando and friends.
2000ViperGTS I've personally have never seen a winch that was not water proof lmfao they are made to no on the out side of any 4x4 bud think about it once again with a brain
You are an idiot if you think a winch is waterproof. Once again, you do not wheel hard saying that and I sold more Warn winches than you ever saw likely. Really call Warn tomorrow between your periods in high school and ask about their common waterproof winches that are submerged-LMAO. ANOTHER INTERNET IDIOT.

So I'm and so forth my ever so clever friend take it down a notch that's the problem today's day and age I get you no older than 33 years old acting like a child still and calling another individual (high schooler) fuck I wish I was in school again live life all over who wouldn't?
This video should be called, A day swimming at the pond.
Did this 4 times with mine (I didn't get stuck tho . . . ). It takes about 4 hours to dry out and everything works just fine.
@madkint Correct! Mine is replaced already and sealed now. Mine was underneath the back seat on the driver's side :-)
Ignore the haters, Gary. I just discovered your videos. Your life, live it, man. Screw everyone else. And nice, innovative and very original "snorkel" setup!
on another note a friend of mine had a rig the had ballast tanks he would pump full of water when he hit a water crossing to help the truck keep traction when in deep water it worked well for him
Everybody needs a gigantic fat off-road partner to add 400lbs, ballast tanks can't push. Lol
You guys are geniuses
I am glad to have watched it. great job, real life fun with the little ones is always better than staying at home in front of the tv. It is you Jeep to do with what you want, if you have the money to invest, no one has the right to say anything negative. Where were you, looks like the pine barrens in New Jersey. Its just my opinion but, i think this is what Jeep'n is all about. your rig your time your money your choices your friends and family, push the boundaries. The kids had fun
The locks are mechanical, the only Dodge electronic lock is in a Viper. We also keep the doors unlocaked anyow and the sunroof open AND I have dual batteries seperated by marine switches. I'm an electronics nerd myself :-)
great vid,,, did you know how deep it was? did you guys hove another 4x4 ( just in case ) ?
The issue with that is that it will hurt the winch getting submerged in water as I go through and I have been through this place before so I opted not to install it :-)
best part of this video was the sounds he was making in the water lol
LMAO i think the best part of this video is at 9:20 watching you try to clime through the window hahahaha
I applaud the enthusiasm with the blind run!!! Eff yeah! I know you have probably answered this before but was there any serious damage aside from new carpet?
+Rincon009 I don't even have carpet and no damage. The run was not blind my friend-I crossed this before in this Jeep. It all depends on the line and how much rain came in, but always fun as I could care less about being stuck. In fact, if I don't get stuck at least a few times each time I wheel, it is boring to me.
+2000ViperGTS what about the electrical system
+waimeagavin808 Read the top description for the video.
Thanks for the great footage cameraman but not a safe spot to stand when your buddy is winching.
Hey gary I have a question how does that winch connect is it to the trailer hitch wiring or are u running it straight to the batter
I liked this vid because the person who owns this jeep is taking it way beyond it's capability and doing things other people wouldn't do with the pieces of crap thats in there drive way but they talk this rig down so kudos to the owner keep on doing things your way it's original innovative and functional let the haters hate
I know EXACTLY how deep it was-I do NOT care so why should you?
hopefully when this jeep starts having electrical problems your insurance company comes across this video.
So in the end how much did that water exposure end up costing you in repairs? Just curious.
It was an M8000 Warn and it finally died after running under water many times. I have a 9500xti now, built for a LOT more abuse. The Jeep is a lot higher now with much more aggressive tires :-)
I like your rear winch setup. Might have to make me one of those!
honestly how much did the electrical problems cosy
It was a stock winch and they will run under water for a bit, but will die fast if you run it like that. Mine ran for 2 years running and now it is dead but replaced with a much better Warn industrial strength unit that is over double the cost of a normal winch.
LOL as I keep driving and driving. I drive this 86 miles EACH day to and from my business! Not road worthy? Do you even READ the amount of prep work that went into this Jeep?
WELL it looked like you were enjoying yourself the kids to .lol harmless fun
and people wonder why insurance is so high
I don't know why people get so upset at this. It's your jeep to do what you want with. You pay to play. And if you're any kind of off-roader, you know you are going to break something eventually. I say carry on
"up for sale is a great condition 2006 jeep grand cherokee that has never been offroad and has NO water damage! runs great!"
love ya vids i drowned my 2005 Jeep grand cherokee Limited 6mnth ago picking it up on saturday , still cant find a NZ abs module to replace the one i drowned , good fun , i might post my vid now , it was nearly fully submerged lol keep it up bud , love the idea of a bilge pump , Note to all late model jeep owners always leave ur windows down when water crossing and watch the steering lock mine got wet n caused total vehicle drown lol
Good education for the kids. Next time maybe they get out and find the hitch/wire plug
That takes "gold balls" to do that one. Went through that with my Honda 450ES. I remember my buddy saying, "doesn't mean it will go everywhere"....my wj is lifted and locked w/4:56...I couldn't bring myself to do that bro. Hat off to yah. Oh, I am a big puss about keeping my gear dry....could mean life or death.
Thanks for being man enough to show your "failure?"....Takes a man to admit to it. Best regards...
