modified jeep cherokee snorkels very deep water and floats Jake's Place

[@panzerhead587]

This is why xj's are getting hard to find lol

[@damiensimental9376]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Theboys-tn5lf]

It’s been 4 years since you said this they are still plentiful

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Regardless of things like this, if you take care of it, it will last.

[@Polo3663]

That thing can swim and dive , somebody need to sponsor this man!!!!!!

[@jakewelder6413]

Yeah, spread the word. He had to take a real job so no new videos.

[@riverbankfisher]

My first reaction was that this is absolute madness, but then it occurred to me that without people who are willing to push the envelope to the extreme, vehicle manufacturers for offroad and military end-use would miss out on vital test data that in turn can inspire future automotive design innovations.

[@vetdoc35]

Have no Video of this, but i saw in the Everglades once on Jeep he was doing stuff like that, was pretty amazing what they can with the snorkel and the Exaustpipe....His Electronics was completly flooded an we saw hin on I-95 later that day going about 55 no Problems at all...Old Jeeps never dieeee

[@stormcloudnine2]

I rolled up the window to keep that icy cold water from pouring all over my crotch. Later I opened the door once the interior water level was below my shriveled boys, so I could see where I was going. Just good cheap fun. If you think this video stupid, then you are obviously a much superior person than the rest of us. You should not waste your time with our videos. Go work on that Nobel peace prize or a cure for cancer.

[@Tate12345678910]

How did you not screw up your engine?! I mean damn dude! I know you had the snorkel and all but still

[@lelouchvibritannia6851]

+Tate Simmons ikr

[@SR-cp1eo]

+Tate Simmons really all you need. snorkel and exhaust was above the water. you may run into some electrical issues but yeah this was insane haha

[@jeffwesson8363]

VenomX 78410 it's an XJ electrical problems are part of life!

[@probablywizards]

dialectic grease on the electrical connections can prevent damage from water, as long as everything is air/water tight. i used to take road closed signs as "jeep challenge" roads until one day it was super dark, on a wooded, dark road normally, and then my headlights got dim/dark and i realised i was up to my doors on a flooded road in a completely stock jeep, i knew the road had ditches on either side and the back end lifted up now and then but i was able to keep moving forward in 4wd, i guess the weight of the motor kept the wheels in enough contact with the road to not wash me into the trees/ditch, made it through, it never stopped, never had any electrical issues, jeeps are beasts

[@Se7enAte]

Jeep? Nah that's a submarine.

[@ragnarokda206]

When the zombie apocalypse starts we'll all be thankful to the boys who modify their vehicles to do such things. The woods and small ponds will be easily traversed in a vehicle like this and it'll be frickin' awesome!

[@GrayHatLinux]

Ahahahaha, that's awesome! Love the ridiculous rigging on the exhaust, and LOL at opening the door to see. Glad you got out of there though!

[@OHVTrails1]

Very nice! All you needed to get all the way across that pond was a small trolling motor hanging off the drivers door.

[@MrAdrianojujuba]

after this adventure , just get a cold beer. hugs from Brazil

[@stevenking2980]

Great comment!

[@Grodt4e]

1999 Jeep Cherokee for sale. Never taken off road, garage kept.

[@kaydenwhalen6496]

It’s pre 1997

[@marcmiller789]

Got one of those 4.0s in my 89 work ranger..runs awesome

[@ricotinez]

Wow! I've driven through a stream or two in my day, but this is extreme!

[@nicholascarver1]

Don't you mean x-stream???

[@LiftInspire]

Only the 4.0..

[@TNGUYEN415]

need to add a propeller

[@quantrellwilbanks1874]

TNGUYEN415 get a rear end out of a semi

[@nihlhinz488]

Ive showed all my jeep friends this. To quote Waynes World, We're not worthy!

[@stormcloudnine2]

Actually it's the exhaust pipe ahead of where i attached my extension. Water seeps in and then presto, lots of steam out the hot exhaust. The snorkel is fully sealed, but the distributor is so low on the block, that I can't keep it completely dry, when I submerge. Tried just about everything short of trying to boot the entire unit. Lot.s of silicone

[@Blue-moon12]

Loved the video and that was very impressive, I never thought you'd get out of there. Nice going!

[@JusticeGore]

Sketchiest looking snorkel thing I've ever seen.... And I love it.

[@Yuuiiytrfbh]

BRAVO man, bravo!!! Good job getting out of there. that was great!

[@Boatyarddog]

Man that jeep can swim!

[@bzmotoninja83]

love the jeeps little sneeze at the end

[@IrishmenV8]

Interesting exhaust placement. This was awesome.

[@sodgoodbeerbetter18]

I miss my cherokee. It may have been a pos, but it was y pos, and it ran like a champ!

[@modshiftmotion]

That's intense. Nice jeep!!

[@jixxer11up]

Awesome. Just got my first cherokee lifting it this weekend and putting 31" boggers on. Can't wait.

[@stormcloudnine2]

That's too bad it ended up at pull n save. The kid I sold it too said he was going to take it to a mudding event up north. It was still a great rig. just needed some ignition work from all the flooding. Guess I should have just given it to the neighbor kids. I used copious amounts of silicone to seal up everything. Relocated electronics to as high as possible. One weekend of free stuff and used parts to turn the $350 jeep into a pond crosser. Water ultimately killed the spark after many underwater runs. I was bored, and it was something to do. Lost interest as I have way to many projects. It sat for a year , so I sold it. I would not do this to a good jeep.

[@swisstraeng]

you sealed up everything? the motor was dry after going in the water? and I don't know where were the electronics, but they seem to stay dry in that video. that jeep is, well... bye bye.

[@dl2.504B]

+stormcloudnine2 can I kick that kids ass for you? what a schmuck, these kids are so damn lazy today. I work on everything in my truck and they ask me why dont I take it to a mechanic or sell it and get a new truck... smh, they must get everything handed to them.

[@wyattalvarez4880]

+Devin Lupina wtf did the kid do, he just bought a jeep...

[@dl2.504B]

He bought the Jeep and junked it

[@gdb5444]

One of the truly impressive off-roading videos on youtube, well done! Put some tires on it that have more of a "paddle" design and you would've cruised right through to the other side of that pond.

[@Gunnarzzzzzz]

Probably the best way to fix XJ cooling problem

[@SavageSalad69]

using your tires as propellers to move through the water is pretty cool.

[@joeycrack123]

duuuuuddeee thats such an awesome idea...i knew jeeps could go through anything but daaammmnnnn

[@luvssnow9258]

Jeeps will always have my loyalty i love mine

[@biggixer]

Excellent vid. I thought that was game over when the nose went under. Amazin

[@2needey1]

I was told by a teenager the other day that my Jeep Xj was a classic….yep!

[@pootn20]

Looks more like work than fun... I'm all for muddin, but getting stuck, then unstuck... work. The floating at the end looked fun tho.

[@Hole_Motorsports]

@BLEEDTHOUBLOOD hydro locking is when more water gets into the engine than is displaced when the piston is at the minimum of its stroke causing connecting rods to bend and the engine to break

[@DaytonCarCare]

The XJ 4.0 models are probably the best bang for the buck Jeeps you can buy. Hell my 4.0 Ranger only puts out 160 HP. Sorry for ever selling my 88 and 95 4.0 Cherokees.

[@gearmod]

Is this a new form of noodling? Do you drive your bass boat on the highway? Seriously, the most impressive part of this video is the fact the engine didn't die. You sure heck did the best job of waterproofing an engine I've ever seen. And did you get any big cats?

[@wildcoyote34]

that is awesome add some ballast to the back and a outboard motor and you got a good duck hunting boat

[@snoopmax1965]

Dude thats so FKN cool !! looks like a lot of fun. I'm collecting parts for a mercedes 617 diesel / XJ swap and then all i need is a pond !

[@miniphantom1]

never mind a snorkel you need a periscope damn thats awesome

[@schmidt76ful]

i cant believe ya drove that out ....holy shit

[@hayworth111]

nice .i like this , its great to see what these thing can do with smarts, like you. thanks for sharing .

[@MacMashPotato]

Now you just have to fix all the electrical problems this will cause.

[@cqcqcqdx]

Guarantee the tps got fried

[@drboom7]

Really decent fella- did similar things to my TJ but needs some more bouyancy up front. If you have any dead space forward of the firewall, take trash bags and line the area- use the triple expanding foam in those areas and it will keep your nose up! Cheers-

[@subaruanon]

Nice outback in the background

[@BackCountryWrenching]

good save, I thought you were going under for a moment

[@beavid1]

Wow, very true. He made a very good point at the end of this.

[@jeffmech600]

stupid video? holy crap this just testifies to the mighty power of the holy xj great vid bud awesome jeep

[@erikaslt]

jeff i pretty badass. I agree. Wonder how long the truck lasted after words.

[@pnp4041]

That's as close to amphibious as you can get. Wow.

[@niomithomas6697]

BEAST! WILL GO ANY WHERE

[@stormcloudnine2]

Dude. I spent $12 on a flexible sexer line, bought and $16 airfilter that fit over the hose almost perfect. Standard at walmart. Used a holled out plastic cup to connect the two for airtight fit and mounting. Then covered it with a used plastic planter to keep mud and splashing water off the paper filter. Some silicone and e tape. A couple dryer clamps and you have a cheap same day snorkel. Still need to seal and extend all other vents, lines, tanks, trans, diffs, ect.

[@CH_Pechiar]

Oh, hybrid! It should work in the water as well as in the road. :)

[@jfotogs]

Swamp tires wouldn't hurt either haha

[@TheBrandonbooth84]

Jeeps have drain plugs in the floor board for the very purpose of draining water from the inside... he was floating so had no traction with his rear tires letting water in allowed his rear end to finally drop which got him out.

[@FlamEffect]

nothing like a good old cherokee!!! o yeah

[@cuisined]

That's bad ass. period.

[@TheNelso54]

The interior of that jeep must be in excellent condition. lol

[@muncy03]

I bet that was effin COLD!

[@umcompaq]

nice man love the cherokee they dont die

[@JSHTech1]

I can you know what you're doing because of the mod list. Most jackasses assume a snorkel alone turns the vehicle into a submarine. Props to going in and getting back out.

[@UncleRel]

Rolls the window up...then opens the Door....lol. Gotta Luv Jeep owners!!!

[@YMYagizErgenc]

When the snow melts you will need a snorkel for your self too :))

[@stormcloudnine2]

When you let it fill completely up, and the engine is 100% submerged, power immediately drops and you are on a countdown clock. Stalled out on me plenty of times in the middle. Notice the tow chains are already hooked up. Would have to unhook the alt and water pump to get any less drag. I think the cold water quenching the engine also has an effect.

[@jakewelder6413]

The rv septic hose used as snorkel tubing would collapse under heavy draw causing the power loss.

[@AlaskanCharlie]

Your carpets never going to smell the same way again LOL

[@wesleycollins726]

That's so badass. I'm gonna do it some day, too.

[@MedicIDMT]

Fuck it. Say what you want, I think he is a good driver.

[@kletterman]

Sweet! Mine has too many holes in it. I would have sank like a rock.

[@centenera8]

En el ultimo segundo se rompe el porton trasero con la carga de agua que tiene dentro... IMPRESIONANTE.

[@jasonpfeifer8820]

That's what snorkels are made for

[@fj40chriso]

Nice work man ! gotta love a good snorkel !

[@braydensdeals]

Wow, seriously impressive!

[@scarsman]

I don't think it is smoke, I think it is steam. I bet his air intake was leaking a tiny amount of water in. If you notice it stops when he is coming back out.

[@Ezekiel97]

he just added another 2 years onto the life of his Jeep....Jeeps love mud

[@kris-english]

Zero fail! I loved it, good work :)

[@dickdog75]

awesome! take it in the ocean next :)

[@stormcloudnine2]

windows are manual. Up to keep from getting hit in face with cold water, or to keep water from flooding in, down to see. Pretty simple. Seems to be lots of posts about it.

[@clodbusta]

im not sure the water is deep enough.. hahaha awesome vid man!

[@destinytroll1374]

Sweet mods man You added tires to your boat

[@fingers215]

That's insane I so thought u were stuck... awsome

[@gilibran]

Who needs a fracking landrover

[@Lazydomsgarage]

one way to wash it awesome vid

[@Gta1Player]

looked like a freaking alligator, beast.

[@drewgoody2957]

Now that was damn impressive

[@Infamouzxodus]

honestly that thing is bad ass...i got a jeep too 4ft MAX 7ft!? nasty bro

[@Condor1970]

CarFax would be afraid to print the report!!! LOL.

[@stevenking2980]

GOOD WORK! And I'm a Chevy guy...

[@sory4beinanonymous]

Steven King at least ur not a ford guy. LOL

[@brock12892]

[@68912porsche]

Love to have my wife in the passenger seat to listen to her scream! SWEET

[@Raven4122]

wow! now that was almost damn impressive!

[@cleehammer1210]

All I can say is wow!

[@4benzes]

What a beast!

[@conniepantas]

how do you keep alternator from frying itself? i have an 87 and whenever i do that i end up replacing it

[@W5KVV]

Don't worry about it over heating. It's liquid cooled!

[@michaelhutin8530]

I like boating too!

[@chefgiovanni]

Great video. Thanks !

[@TacticalHandyman]

XJ-U571 👍

[@TTorres1183]

Nice man I'm trying to do this to my jeep I got the snorkel and t case vents, but i still need to extend my exhaust and other stuff
