I don't see a wake or wave - looks like wet mud - over the bumper into the radiator, etc.
In any case, it's up to the headlights. On a Rubicon, that's way too deep. Front of the Left fender flare is buried.
Whatever it is, it's way too deep and just plain silly to get into.

Did - along with a couple of other things posted and have a funny feeling this is a very abused Jeep.

 

[AmishMike]

Maybe he bought ChanceP’s last Jeep?

Pretty sure the factory warranty doesn't cover stupid.

This is from one of his other posts -

Not sure how he'd build a wall of just water that high that fast - look behind him, he's coming off of land and just in the water. He had to hit it awfully hard and fast to build it that high in just the length of the truck.
In any case, he's going way too fast, or the water is still too deep and going into the engine bay and other fun areas.

Doesn't matter the color - it's still up over the bumper, grill, fender flares and to push up tha thigh, it's mighty deep.

I can't tell what he's going through in his profile picture, but whatever it is, based on his being a Rubicon, he's into it at least 34-36".

tires covered=over factory stated fording capacity. 30 inches for sports and automatics, 31.5 inches for rubicons and mojaves. I may be skiddish, but i would never even go further in water that goes over the top of my wheels (315/70r17 give me 25.68 inches for my personal fording threshold) let alone tires.

And if i DID get the tops of my tires covered in water... well i'd be preparing to pay for the next trans myself, not be looking for a technicality.

My question is how did you know water got into the ZF without going to the dealer?

Can easily get to the fill level plug and crack it open and fluid will usually spill from it if sitting cold.

On the ZF transmission, where?

Passenger side of the transmission toward the rear above the pan .

 

[ShadowsPapa]

On the ZF transmission, its difficult. You need a scan tool to verify the temperature before you pull the plug and verify the level.

Not to just check fluid appearance.
