From what my friend from across the hall says, aparently they got stuck crossing the river, and the silt covered the jeep almost completely..if you have the other pictures of before they started digging, you should post em up!

getting that TJ out of there must have been a long day. Was the tide a factor in getting that thing out? seems like if it was, you would have had to pull it out at low tide, and from what I've read, those tides can sometimes be a little unpredictable.
Did that thing get parted out, or did someone clean it up and do something with it? Seems like just about the whole thing would have been trashed and unsalvageable except for hard parts (axles, wheels,etc).
That is one hell of an 'ooops'. did the photos of it ever appear in a mag? And, the photo of the guy reading four wheeler should have been when it was still buried, before you guys started digging.

Yah I know the photo of the magazine should have been taken earlier, but hey it was a spur of the moment thing. And not as of yet, we mailed copies of the sunk Jeep to JP, 4Wheeler, Pedersens and some other one I cant remember. Hell by the time we were done, we were litterally done. It took almost 7 hours of digging, and another 7-8 hours of winching between a 12k, 9.5ti, and my 9i all snatched and then anchored to other vehicles.
No, the water where we were was direct runoff from the Glacier, we did it in September so the temp was down around 20.
Your right, Alaska is number 2 in the world for tidal shifts, it can raise as high as 40ft, and drop another 40ft.
Everything got used. The dana 30 went in a buddies S-10, the 35 is currently in my TJ, the 231 went to a buddies TJ, the trannie and engine got put in another friends Tj for a 4cyl swap, most only things trashed and unuseable were interior parts, body parts and wiring. The alkalinity of the glacier silt is so high it turned the wiring to dust.
