How deep were these " puddles " ? I assume they were deep enough for the water to enter your air intake in the grille or do you have your air intake modified where water can get in elsewhere ?

They were less then 2' deep for sure. I don't have my stock intake system in because I did the same thing with that installed as well. I really do need to get a snorkle system ordered or built. If they weren't like 5 bills I'd have one already.Originally Posted by NeilSmith
Do you still have your fender liners in ?

Yes but remember I trimmed mine a lot to fit the tires and when I chopped my bumper up. But I did this with the full stock setup as well the first weekend I owned the JeepSo I got two strikes now I'm not going for a third LOL
Yeah, I remember you saying you had a water issue when you first got the Jeep. The thing is, Romeo had the same problem and its almost a guarantee that the water came up through a big hole he had cut into the fender liner. He also didnt have his K&N filter enclosed in an airbox. I can't comment on the first experiance you had but now with your fender liners cut out you're increasing the chances of getting water to the intake. I would see if I could find some plastic sheeting from Lowes that you can cut and fit below the airbox to cap off the area that would normally be sealed by the fender liner. It should be fairly easy, cut and fit it, pop rivet the piece in and then use some caulk to seal the seams. When Romeo went into the water the tires just slung all that water right up to his filter as there is/was about a 10" hole cut into the fender liner. The water wasn't deep enough to cause any problems to the rest of us.

Ya I did make it worse for sure. But I'm not going to mess with sealing off just yet. I'm going to either buy or make a snorkel and just not have to worry about it. Then when I get my next set of tires I can seal things off since I'm going bigger next time I don't want to have to redo the job.
Back to the " top secret snorkel " drawing board.

The last time I visited you Sal, I took a look at ur intake and I told you removing that plastic block for the intake was an accident WAITING to happen.. I know you remember me telling you this, lol... Please tell me you remember because it will make my day 10x better, than it already has been. Hopefully the engine will be alright. Looks like a snorkel is in ur very near future!
Yes but you also remember me telling you that I had did this with the stock setup as well and once in a bad rain storm my XK spuddered like I took water in all with the stock setup. So the stock setup is just as bad on the 4.7
