i love when jeeps are just parked in deeper, clean water! i want to take mine into water and just park it but I'm not sure of any place in augusta, ga where i can... anyone happen to know anywhere on savannah river or clarks hill (lake thurmond) ?? haha, i want to post my own pics! but i want to see y'all's!
Don't wanna be a buzz kill, but I don't know that PARKING your Jeep in deep water is the best idea.
But at to least to at least add to the thread, here is me and my sister splashing through a mountain stream.
One day I'll find a good creek or river to go through...

Here's a link to a vid of a few of us crossing a river in northen PA, in mid-May. The day before this vid the crossing was impassable for most of us, too deep from recent rains.

did the jeep survive??? haha, i would be entirely too scared to take it that deep!! haha, also, i thought if you got water in your engine it would hydrolock and essentially be shot?? if i were you id invest in a snorkel! I've been wanting to make my own even though i don't do anything that deep! haha
Ptoncannon, Growing up in Harlem Georgia and being stationed at Fort Gordon twice, I used to find water at Clarkes Hill. Always wanted to cross Savannah River but never knew where. I know there are several spots that are shallow enough.
do you happen to know any of the spots at clarks hill now?? haha, i have been wanting to do this ever since i got my car! and i too want to cross the savannah... but not sure where to go other than the fall line but there is no way to even get down there... unfortunately!
if you wouldnt mine i would very much appreciate that! i am not involved in the local clubs but i was slightly involved at one point but i guarantee id just get lectured about how you can't do that and its bad for the wildlife and blah blah blah! haha, i do love and care for the conservation of wildlife, don't get me wrong, but i don't go overboard thats for sure! lol
Don't listen to these assclowns. They didn't even inquire as to where and how you were going to ride. You are right though. Too many environmentalist wack jobs that selectively address the problems. I ride mountain bikes and see more trash and destruction from hikers and campers than I have ever seen from wheelers.
i cannot stand when people litter like that and see it ALL of the time on the mountain bike trails and very rarely see it on wheeling trails... imnot saying lets all just go do whatever we want and trash whatever we want and ride absolutely everywhere we want, destroying wildlife and plant life making everything look like shit in the mean time, i agree with the conserving the rivers and lakes but i am no extreme environmentalist who says no riding anywhere... and the lake i would be wanting to ride in is only populated on the banks by bass, bream, and gar... not really anything worth conserving and killed every day by people eating them, much worse than the damage, if any i would cause... crazyjz and krisbman i FULLY agree with conservation, as i am very involved with the savannah river keeper and love me some creek and river fishing, but you don't understand my area... our creeks are polluted to hell and back, almost no fish living in there, our river is the 4th most polluted river in the nation and does not have any valuable fish such as trout or anything.
and i know what you're about to say "this pollution is caused by people like you!" no, its caused by a nuclear power plant (SRS) and all of the dumb ass pot heads and the low life population we have in this city... i did not want to start anything and i am sorry if i raised tempers but the bottom line is, i believe in conservation and i am VERY active in it, hate people that trash the river and do what has been done to it, and do not want to go tear up everywhere i can get my car to. i simply want to go camping and possibly attempt to take my car into shallow water for kicks!
where is this beach?? i have always wanted to do this because its a pain in the ass carrying everything down to the beach.. lol also the jeep looks great man! i love it!
Red Tj was just a guy I worked with who asked me to take him out he couldn't get enough of the water, me I like to get in and out as fast as possible, 15yrs or so seen my friends custom Jeep on 44's 1/2 floating 1/2 driving down a not so slow moving river until hitting solid ground , some scary stuff, if it wasn't for his nerve and keeping his foot on the gas?? wish I had a pic of that, better yet a video. Tread lightly though, should really try and stay out of rivers during certain times of year I would think.
My hoods in the lower part of the picture, the water was over it for a little while. My buddy in the Yota ended up hydrolocking his engine because his intake is right by his headlights.
Just a nice cruise up the creek.

Btw, the guy worried about the fish...pretty sure they can out swim a jeep. Can almost bet you coudn't run one over if you tried!
