The yellow submarine?
That spot looks familiar..
Looks pretty bloody wet. Need a snorkel!
Jeff, Hopefully there wasn't any more involved than just drying it out. It appears you drove out of there OK.
Coils came off and the plugs came out. Luis made a siphon and we got all the water out of the cylinders. After we reset the computer she fired right up. The home for an oil change.
I like the nickname THE YELLOW SUBMARINE I HOPE THAT ONE STICKS
Warning Warning all FJCs; riding with old iron can be hazardous to your vehicle. They have little regard for tires under 35" and they have no clue what electronics are!
Any water make it inside the cab? I hear when the seatbelt sensor under the seat gets submerged the computer can freak out with a bunch of dashlights. My amp is 1" off the floorboard so richloam always worries me.

What does "old iron" refer to?
40, 55,60 series trucks.
Seat belt sensor did get wet but it only turned on the airbag light. I think getting water in all six cylinders is what pissed the computer off. The truck is running great now it just needs a starter.
Actually, I bet the starter solenoid just needs to be opened and cleaned out with wd40.

^ It's under warranty !!!
Keep those plates blurred! LOL!
Side note: have you all seen the new Land Rover Sport? The thing has sonar on it to tell you how deep the water is, and how far you can go until you're past the point of whatever it is that goes bad in those things if you go too deep.
Now it'll be like those water stickers in cell phones - if the computer sees you went in 2'5" of water, and the "max" it can handle is 2'4", warranty void!

I watched a top gear episode where they used the sonar. Very interesting.
Seems like it would be ok if you were in shallow water, but if it was deep enough to worry about it would be too little too late. What about the mud puddle that has 8" of water covering a mud hole a fridge would fit in?
