Creek Falls claims another

[moparfan1]

So finally talked my buddy into buying a jeep.95 xj 5 speed. Worked on it for 2 weeks. Entire new floor and rockers and new fabbed up bumpers. Took it out the first time. Everything was working great then a knee deep puddle claimed its victim! Pludged into it and took on water. Ended up with 2 softball size holes. 1 in the block 1 in the pan! Horrible! Homeaid snorkel in the works! Anyone ever build one? Interested in one for my zj too!

Don't know how to do pics from my phone. Sorry. We went in the back way.(By sechrist) just a little hole across the creek. Probably was doin 20mph. Haha. O well. Live and learn! Glad it wasn't mine.

[Powerguy37]

Yeah thats a bit fast. Rausch Creek just had a post about that on their website. Saying to stick to the 10mph or face being booted for the day.

x5 after Dana. Hitting water or mud that fast just to watch it spash up is fun in a puddle on the highway. Off road, it is not only dangerous for your vehicle, but you run the risk of personal injury as well. Be safe out there and use it as a learning experience!
