E-Locker Submersion

I am working to armor up the underside of my 2013. I'm no rock crawler, but it would only take one branch or other minor obstacle to tear out critical wires or damage less than durable parts. I just added a full set of BubBuilt aluminum skids, and now I'm looking at the E-Locker. It doesn't seem very bash-proof, and again...wires. I'm liking the All Pro E-Locker Guard as a good compromise between protection and additional weight. Anyway, the fact that E-Locker is electronic and in a place that could easily become submerged during a water crossing, I hope it's waterproof. Is it, and does this degrade with age/use? Do seals or other parts need preventative maintenance to keep things tight? How about the connections?

 

They get submerged all the time. As long as you've extended the breather, you're good. I'd do the armor too, if I had e-locker.

 

all you need is to make sure the breather gets extended above water line and never gets fully blocked

also need to check condition of axle seals constantly if you go in water a lot

if you worry about elocker connecter, I drowned mine about 80 times in 17 years and not
once has it failed to lock (I use it about every week) so ....over 416 faultless elocker engagements so far

 

I already extended the breather up to the inside of one of the storage compartments in the bed, and added a two-way breather to the end. Sounds like I just need to worry about impacts to the E-locker unit.

Thanks!
