Wow the red JK was no holds barred through the water! Which by the way, was that salt water? Looks like you guys had a lot of fun while the rest of us saps worked... Glad someone got to get out and play. Thanks for sharing the pictures Debbie.

At least you all made it out somewhere and had fun and lots of luck! But wow, driving through deep salt water at a high speed?  |

So explain what happened to the JK hood, please. I'm guessing it had something to do with going too fast into a pool of water... |

Yikes! Forgot to check back in to reply to comments. Josh Maneely was the driver of the 08 JK and he's pretty cool. The plastic skid that goes under the bumper had come loose and I don't think any of us had enough sense to realize it made moderate speed feel like a Mack truck plowing through water. These were really deep water holes in the residential area. I presume it was all rain water as we were well off the beach. John Nowaceck was one lucky guy to have been found by a local fireman who loaned us his tools so the coil pack and plugs could be removed. As you saw, the air filter was soaked and the throttle flooded with water. It was impressive. He and Jimmy did a neat and tidy oil change at the local Wal-Mart. This was a really fun day. There's something about unexpected carnage and fixing the problem, getting over it, and moving on that makes for great adventure. Happy New Year!!
