Can suggest an old trick for you....keep a cheap blue poly tarp in the car, and some bungy cords.
Fold the tarp so it wraps around under the bumper and up over the hood.

This will accomplish two things...prevents any damage to the radiator core (possible if you hit the water too fast) and it creates a bubble in the front of the engine bay....which is a good thing.

Interesting trick. Could work nicely.

Most other comments I've had are that a JK is vulnerable to flooding through the intake.

good vid dieselcon. pity about the roll over but looks like you took it pretty well, when you play in this stuff it sometimes happens unfortunately. do you think a bit less lift might have helped at all? always a tough decision, needs that bit of height to get the 4 door belly up plus it looks like it flexes well.

Yeah, always an issue with a JKU.....you need the lift to get the ramp over clearance, but then it raises the C of G....vicious circle, eh?
Glad it wasn't worse.

It's running about 4" lift with the 35".. But for what I like doing I need the clearance for the belly. If I could I would go higher . It's all good when no one gets hurt... A couple of scars on the jeep looks good.. Lol
