Default Water proofing?

I know theres no such thing as "waterproofing" a vehicle, but i would like to make it as water tight as possible. Not too worried about the interior. Its all bed lined. More worried about the engine, axels, etc. i just hydrolocked my engine. Deff dont want to do that again! Thanx

Don't drive through water! Other than a snorkel for the intake and an extension kit like this Smilin' Bob's Breather Hose Extension Kit for JKs, i'm not certain that there is much else that you can do.

... and applying vaseline-like protection to exposed electrical components.

Definately look at making your own before you go dropping $65 on that.

I made my own from stuff at O'Rielys for under $10. Both axles and transfer case.

Basically, you get 3 Male/Male hose adapter for whatever size hose is down there. And you get an extra 4' of same size hose. You use an adapter, then stick some extra hose on it to make it longer.

That'a exactly how it is.

Wink I've got a few waterproofing links

I did a thread about the breathers. I spent about $15 at auto-zone to get it done.

This will mostly just show you the locations (there would be one more with an auto)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbxL2m6CUhw I also did one for the seats

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYmnuMa8ofM For anyone who hasn't bedlined I have done one on that too

If your going to be messing around in water it would be a good idea to get a snorkel. Pretty much all those options (except the ARB one) are on this thread-> https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-o...1/#post3194178
