I'm planning on water-proofing and snorkeling my XJ(90 XJ Pioneer 4.0 5spd Command-Trac) so I can hit the deep stuff this summer.
I did a search on this and I found some great tips which ultimately gave me more questions...With the way the alternator is just inches off the road should I worry about it or is it good how it is? I've been in water up over the hubs a couple times so I know it's got wet atleast once.
How hard is it to re-route the intake to inside underneath the dashboard?
Would any of the electronics in the engine bay need to be moved inside or do I just need to seal them really good? And how would I go about sealing them? Also, would I need to seal all the electrical connectors in the engine bay where 2 wires join? If so would heat-shrink wrapping work?
I heard about taking a round metal grille from an older BBQ and mounting that to the one side of the radiator so that the fan on the engine won't act like a propeller and go into the radiator, does this actually work?
I plan on extending the vent lines for the axles, the trans and the X-Fer Case all to a central location so where they all end up can I just use the same hose at the end?
How would I go about sealing the distributor cap?
Anything else I should worry about that I didn't mention?
Sorry for the long post I just don't want to miss something and royally screw up my Jeep...Thanks in advance
