Doing rear diff breather mod. Anything else?

Doing rear diff breather mod. Anything else I should do for water protection while I'm at it?

Not expecting to deliberately dive into major water. This is really mostly in case of flood etc. So I won't be doing a snorkel (rear diff is cheap and easy so I figured, why not).

So given that, anything else important to do while I'm at it?

Thanks.

As long as you don't plan on going diving you should be good. Maybe Dielectric grease on connectors if you're bored and maybe check the front differential hose for any cracks.

 

How much water would you go into without doing anything else?

 

I wouldn't worry tbh. I don't like pulling my carpet after it gets soaked and muddy so I limit myself to the door level. Sometime after that is door seals, transmission breather, and transfer case breather.

 

So I should be good up to the doors? Not expecting to ever go higher than that, certainly.

 

Probably a little higher. Just remember to keep a steady, slow pace in deep water and you'll be just fine.
