until there was just gasoline coming out.... put the plugs back in and the good jeep started and I drove in to meet my friends... I actually modified this jeep to 5.9L engine and interior comlet with wiring so the water had no issues afterwards... and to get across nextime the jeep is in custom modification to get a lift and put 46“ tall tires... ;) so rivers should be less problem... I learned alot by this mistake and there was now harm to people or animal...

orginal Grand Cherokee hooks at the front ... (there was nothing to tie at the rear!) and we were able to pull it out with the big white wan...... Krossá is not a light river to cross and there should be a experiance guide and a big monster like the big white wan along....

But when the car was out of the river and the door opened to let most of the water out from inside.... carped cleaned :) .... we took out the spark plugs... turned the engine and pumped the water out

my sister swaped places with me and stood hard on the brake while I got on the roof.....then the savior came,,, the big white wan,,, The big white ford econline 350 is 49“ custom made in iceland.... Yes I should not have wraped the rope around my neck like that,,, but you do some stupid things in the heat of the moment.... and actually I was just on my flippers in the cold water... but I am a strong viking......  so just minutes later I was able to hook to the

I was actually coming back across, after driven over this same river 10 min earlier, but I went little upper to drive down stream, but I fell in a "well" and the engine shut of because of hydro lock... took water through intake... the car was dead and started to turn and slowly float down river...... I applyed brakes and the front end stared to dig in and that is why water is going over the hood but the car stopped and we were able to signal for help....
