The Evolution of Water Fording
April 9, 2009 • CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, Features, Old Images • TAGS: CJ-V35U, History. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
One of the more interesting early modifications for water fording is visible in the picture below. Note how the jeep facing the reader has the exhaust vented out the front of the grill with the muffler laying parrallel to the grille. I can’t say I’d ever seen that before.
The CJ-3A.info page notes: “The recommended maximum fording depth of an unmodified jeep was 21 inches. That is about the height of the fuel pump and transfer case vents. Any deeper and things would start to fill up with water. Even at this relatively shallow depth the Technical Manual (2) advised that the generator brace should be “pulled up to release tension on the fan belt and stop the fan from throwing water over the engine”. That would be important in order to keep water off the ignition system. During a combat landing the 21″ maximum fording depth was not adequate.”

When readers comment on a post, I always get a copy of the comment emailed to me. I had thought that readers who post a comment also received an email anytime there is a followup comment to a post.
Well, it turns out I was wrong about this feature (thanks to Robert for making me aware of the issue). So, I did some research and found a plugin for wordpress that solves the problem.
Now, if you post a comment related to a post, you’ll be sent an email anytime someone posts a follow up comment. This should help mightly with cross reader communication on posts.
Thanks, Dave

“I have a 52 wills cj-3b high hood. I had the jeep running about a year ago when i got it since then the starter stoped working so at this time does not run.
