I'm so lucky to live where I do and be able to play where I play! Jeff

Yes they actually are rocks, on a few you can see the drill marks from where they blasted it. We talked to that guy for about a half hour, he owned 3-4 CJ's. That camera probably costed more than my heep.

I may be a dumb rockcrawler, but I'm smart enough to know not to drive my rig into a mudhole that deep...at least not on purpose. I hope that guy checks his diffs, transmission and engine for contamination.
Driving hot axles/trans/engine into a cold medium, be it water or mud, sets up the possibility of creating a vacuum in those components, and sucking comntamination in past the seals. Seals are designed to keep lubricants in, rather than contamination out. There are double lipped seals out there that are designed for both, but I doubt you'll find them on a stock Rubicon.

Yeah....that Rubicon has an RE 4.5 or 5.5 long arm kit on 35" pro comps.
Story: My friend got his stock TJ hung up on ruts, the bigger tires that have been run through there rutted it out and got stuck on his diffs. This was in the way to get around him to pull him out. I did the stick test. It showed 6". When he went into it, it literally spun the tires about twice and it went straight down.

I guess I could have worded that a litlte better...I don't seek out mud holes to dunk my rig in. I don't seek body damage either, but that happens too.
