went to the dunes and really punished my jeep today!

I went to Silver Lake sand dunes all day today and was jumping my whole jeep a few feet in the air, it was sooo fun when all four wheels were off the groud and I couldn't see the ground, the dunes were really steep today. Anyway thats not what really hurt my jeep, we were driving through puddles and on the last one I went first and sank my jeep cherokee in over three feet of water, my whole interior completely flooded, it was 38 degrees and I had to go under the water to tie a tow strap around my front axle--I froze my but off!!!!!!!!! After my brother pulled my jeep out I pulled out the spark plugs and water spewed out, I had to suck the water out of the intake because it was full of water, I put my air filter under my brothers trucks hood to dry it out, my map sensor lines were full of water, when I cranked it without spark plugs I shot so much water out of the cylinders, so much more crap but I finally got my jeep running and punched out the drain plugs so the 100+ gallons of water would seep out of my interior. Its a good thing I took the cat off last night so the water just blew out of my exhaust, after that I drove the life out of my jeep and beat on it twice as bad. It is still all wet inside and tommorrow I have to pull the interior and dry it out, change my oil, my transfer case fluid and front and rear axle fluid in case they sucked up some water through the vents and my check engine light is on so I have to hook it up to a scan tool. also when I hit the water my tire blew and I inflated it with my brothers air compressor but it still has water in it and the sand made the beads not seal correctly so it leaks air. I have so much more stuff to do but it certainly was a blast, drag racing in sand is fun. Anyway I have so much work to do to the jeep and I hope my suspension is alright and steering after some of the jumps I did. I might look for a new interior to replace the soaking wet one. But at least the water cleaned out the 24 cans of pop that exploded in the back of my jeep from all the jumps. What a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need a break!
