Make sure you spray down your engine with some silicone spray so that your sensors dont get too wet...good little precautionary measure

I use dielectric grease on all my electrical connections to prevent moisture getting in them

And this weekend carry cash - storm will blow data dishes off alignment on the roof of the gas stations, and your plastic will not work....

Had mine in water ALMOST to the top of my puny tires. I passed several cars stuck in the middle of large crossings....no jeeps to joke about. Lot's of flooding and mudslide here. Since I can do this several times a year (and the truck isn't looking great), I won't kick myself for not taking pics. Wish I could find the pic of my truck in huge NYC snowdrifts.
