Water in the Oil :(
I went offroading over the weekend and when going through the water the Jeep began to chug. I got out of the mud hole and onto level ground and the engine shut off. After having another Jeeper pull me out and drug back home, I came to check today that there is water in the oil. The air box is a little wet but it wasn't filled with water and I am unsure how the water could have got there all that I can think is that it got sucked in through the exhaust. I am unsure about how it got there but my concern is getting it out. What do I need to do? I drained all the oil currently in there what else should I do to ensure all of the water gets out? Thanks in advance.

Pull plugs and turn it over with plugs out to ensure none in a cylender first before anything else, as you have done chg oil, I would get some engine flush after you ensure there no water in cylenders. Put it in with the new oil and run untill good and warmed up to evaporate any water then change oil again.

So after a few hours of work and some money spent she is back up and running. I drained oil, poured some oil through the engine to flush the mud, removed spark plugs and turned the engine over. Water sprayed out there too. Threw away air filter replaced with K&N air filter. Sprayed some WD-40 into the cylinders then turned over again. Replaced with new double platinum coated spark plugs. 1 dead battery then cranked. Thank everyone for all the suggestions and help!
