    The official depth is 19". I'm sure people have surpassed that though...

    Only in a Trailhawk. If you do that in any other model, you risk damaging the FCW sensor.

    Yep. Had to ask a Wrangler to pull me out. And the little toaster was just 2 days old. Nice way to break it in! Haha ...

    I like to think that I would have made it if I had A/T tires on it.

    Any concerns with getting waterline above the door jambs on these Jeeps? They don't seem to be very well sealed around the doors from what I have seen on mine, especially from the top.

    I haven't had mine in that deep of water, but the few times I've taken it through mud that didn't come up to the door jambs, I got dirt and dust all up in there. I would assume that if that can get through there, water can...

    The video that Wayalife posted above clearly shows water exceeding the bottom of the door openings. I'm going to assume that Jeep did a good job with the weather stripping. During the Houston flooding in late April, I personally had our Grand Cherokee WK2 with water halfway up the doors and it was bone dry on the inside. Makes me think the Renegade should have the same standards.

    You would think.. I don't have the set to try it out though. Although, mines not a TH. Perhaps that's another difference between the models?

    It was about 24 inches deep and the Renegade made it through. This is the entrance to our neighborhood. Some weren't so lucky.
