I think people are assuming it didn't make it because of the pic that's quoted just a couple up from this post, unless you look closely at the rear wheel it looks as though it's just sititng in the water and because there's mud covering the passenger side window, you assume nobody is in it. I'm guessing though, that it was just moving real slow through the water to get to the other side.

We were moving so incredibly slowly.
plus the tires are so far underwater, the arent churning much on top.
The tires were barely touching anything other than water, as we ended up floating for a bit across the center.
Hopefully the vids will straighten things out when I finally get them.

Before the nattering resumes ref. piling on Crash here, he did after all author the post and this is after all an internet discussion board. I'd expect to have people ask hard questions of me if I took a bad line on Tip Over Challenge and put my JK on its top, so what's wrong with a similar discussion here?
Preamble aside, a question if the OP will humor me: if the Jeep was moving incredibly slowly, how did it get muddy all the way to the very top (and presumably over the top)?
IMO, water crossings should be taken seriously. Water that deep can put at risk hydrolocking the engine, compromising every electrical connector not protected with dielectric grease, computer modules and ignition, the integrity of the lubricants in your differentials, transfer case and transmission, etc.
And I still don't get the "aye, he gots balls!" remarks lol.
