Wouldn't their 'artificial' airbags protect them in the crash?

I haven't tried 'yet' but I don't think fresh water will have any effect on the battery other than to dilute the acid if left there too long.
Otherwise every time I get my running lights or headlights under water I would be blowing fuses.
I have never heard of anyone blowing fuses on a water crossing....
I mean we sunk this guy 'really' good when he tried to follow me and his headlights were still burning away when we pulled him out....

Ummm, not quite Nathan. Amperage makes no difference in this situation. 12 volts is 12 volts and if presented with a low enough resistance (which fresh water is not) will draw excess current. Now if we were dunking these items in saltwater it might be a different story.

Of course, it is in addition to a big winch, snatchblocks, chains, straps, etc. I have used both winch and comealong in righting another Jeep, without losing it downhill.
Lots of people.
Are the stock winches by Mopar any
Yes.
Can I do better?
Yes

Saltwater will. Freshwater (usually) won't; it's not a very good conductor.
One shots. You won't go far with one of those...
