Snorkel, and Idk what else...
Snorkel, and Idk what else...
I know but other people do go through water like that. I mean other people do that(repatition) so are you guys just saying its a hassle? A don't worry the guy at the shop will figure it out.The radio and clock are the least of your worries.. Like Aelwero said, you need to relocate the breathers, and seal up/relocate the airbox, and make sure you keep the clockspring dry inside... I'm sure there's other stuff, but I'd seriously reconsider what you are thinking of doing..... Just sayin'
Thanks,air lockers are engaged via a switch, usually a toggle switch. Check out ARB setups on youtube. OX lockers are selectable lockers that are switched via a lever. RTV is a silicone gasket that you use to seal up things like your differential covers. Front and rear lockers aren't extreme, they're awesome for off-roading. But, unless they're selectable, auto-lockers are noticable on the road. In the snow, you risk understeer in the rear which can be hazardous, which is why ARB lockers are beneficial.
I'm disappointed you're not getting the response you're looking for in going in deep water. I myself don't have the proper answer, but it seems you're headed in the right direction. You need to seal water away from getting into the engine. The main way is the air intake, which should always be located above the water. The breather tubes (including transmission if auto) need to be located out of the way as well. The exhaust pipe isn't an issue as long as you keep the engine running and the water level does not go above the headers.
The dj-5s were used as mail trucks until about 1984. Throughout production they would have other motor company bid on the contract to manufacture the engine. Companies such as AMC (audi) and a few others got the contracts. Available in a three speed manual and a three speed automatic. Two wheel drive only four wheel drive was never an option. That's about everything I know about them.Chadwick.
There... it's been said
Jeeps can ford pretty well out of the box... anything you'd do to increase fording capacity would likely put you into "floating away" territory except for lift....
Having said that, the biggest concern IMO is vent lines. everything else is already pretty much high enough.
