    you bet. i never took her "under" but i splashed through the deeper puddles without a 2nd thought. the rubber gasket on the bottom and the rubber cap on top had the wing nut bolt through it to snug her down. the rubber sleeve allowed engine movement while staying snug.

    i've very sorry... samurai thread

    my son and daughter got their first wranglers for under $2.000 and both needed very minimal work that your friend could send it to the shop for at that cost. A sammy is a cool little vehicle but wrenching and upkeep may prove more expensive in the long run as said before here, parts and upgrades...
