Hi all
Just put a snorkel on my sj50 and will be driving through puddles...any tips on making electronics water proof?
So I don't stop in the middle of said puddle.
Cheers!

Don't drive into a puddle that's deeper than you're willing to have inside the car.

Best tip is to avoid every puddle deeper than the hubs if at all possible, and even the shallow ones if there's a simple way round. Your everything (bearings, brakes, bushes, clutch...) will thank you.

Yep. The electrics are the short term problem. The increased maintenance on everything else is the long term problem.
