i went wheelin yesterday thought id share some pics.
got stuck a few times, hydrolocked my motor(got lucky, wasnt @high rpms when she took a drink. a snorkel is now on the top of my list. fallowed by a front locker lol.)
anyway we got her on dry ground pulled the plugs, blew out the water, and kinda dried out the air cleaner. still runs perfect! heres some pics.

You need a snorkle.. i don't like the big puddles like that personally.

looks like you had fun though regardless.

cool vids. glad no major damage. Gotta love an Oregon Spring

in addition to the snorkel:
-install an switched electric fan, so that way you don't suck the fan into the radiator
-move the ECU a place up high like above the glove box
-extend your diff breathers (probably already done)
