Water Crossing

Not that I plan to do so, but in the event you do get into water that reaches axles, transmission housing, transfer case and the like, do you need to have those fluids drained and replaced and if so how quickly? Many thanks. C

The front and rear diffs have breathers, so you can ford well above them and still not need to change the fluid. Realistically if you are doing the 30" or less that jeep qualifies it for you shouldnt need to do any special maintenance. Note that dirty water though can and will wear seals out faster so avoiding gritty dirty water when possible will keep wear and tear down.
