Interesting to watch, I know they were designed for fording but every seal needs to be newer than 70 years old to still be watertight I would think. That must have also been an area you knew well enough to know it wasn't over 5 feet deep. The Jeep done great.
WHERE DID YOU FIND SUCH A UNIFORM DEPTH LAKE??!! and a fantastic demonstration!!! I have seen a hundred M38s & M38A1s, a few with the "pipes" but never one that could do this
How do you know it’s not going to be so deep at any one point to where the vehicle and you are completely submerged?. Wild video! A lot of cleanup maintenance afterward I imagine
@@Scratchthejeepguy I should be able to make a short video of the jeep the next time I visit the owner. The vehicle has the factory fording equipment for the engine, ignition system, gearbox and so on, carefully checked and fixed where needed. The hose between the air cleaner and the carb was in bad condition, so it was replaced with some other type of hose. The fording kit with the tailpipe and the intake hose is an aftermarket kit
I just want to know how you knew the lake was so shallow that you could just drive around everywhere in it. Most of the lakes in my area drop off fairly quickly from 4 ft to 10 ft to 30 ft without warning
Yes it was! We were surprised to find such great conditions. We had checked out several places before we decided on this one. Very solid surface to drive on
I was just the camera man, but I helped with the preparations and some of the work with the car. The main issue when driving in water like this is getting water in the axels, so an oil change in the axels afterwards is necessary to make sure that there is no water in them. The water will sit on top of the oil and then cause the internals of the axel to seize when the car is sitting. Apart from that it's the radiator that collects debris from the water and has to be cleared before driving off or the car will overheat due to insufficient cooling. But the original deep fording system in very capable and I was surprised with how well it worked in keeping water out. The jeep was taken to and from the site on a trailer
@@EarthAirWaterPetrol I agree with your story. I've driven trough rivers without preperation but surly in that case you gota keep the engine running due to the water pressure on the exaust. Also you better switch of electrics as the Dutch version has some production origial modifications that are far from water proof ! Also you should not forget to add a bolt under the main gear box to prevent water goin in there reaching the clutch mechanism, afterwards do not forget to remove it as the hole is required for ventilation. The M38A1 is verry capable but still i managed to get stuck twice in the snow ;)
Why would anybody do that. Water will seap into bearings, differential, transmission no matter how much you waterproof it. Good luck in the days to come Good buddy.
Love it! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Just when you thought your cool, in this year the 100th anniversary of Chinese Communist Party #CCP, thrilled to know Jeep is now owned in part by Dongfeng of CHINA #MadeInChina2025 #BeltAndRoad #BeijingOlympics2022 #OccupyMars2024 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳
You must of done a stunning job on the waterproofing! Engine didn't miss a beat! Top job!!!!!
I can't take credit because I was just the camera man, but you are absolutely right, the guy in the video made an amazing job with the car!

How exactly does that work, I’ve always seen those on trucks but never knew exactly what they were for
Nice sir

i have the same question
If you know the lake, you just know the depth. Could have been pretty clear water as well.

Thanks greendot!
@@EarthAirWaterPetrol Can I use a clip of this in one of my videos to illustrate water fording? I'm too scared to take mine in the water :(
