    Had to repair my passenger fender, after a bum on a bike crashed into it. I hadn't re-installed the plastic fender liner. Allowed the mist to get right into my filter, which is near the OEM fender opening. It has since been re-installed.

    Most of the vehicles are submerged enough to suffer serious electrical component and wiring damage, not just engine damage. Might be ok for a year, but the corrosion will eventually eat the truck from the inside, all the wires and connectors will fail. Flooded vehicles are a nightmare...

    Insane business idea - Rig a box truck or trailer with a turbine and vents, park vehicle inside, blast dry air around entire vehicle.

    This Tacoma was working the flood waters like a boss. Definitely lifted with bigger tires.

    Everyone wanting to fix the vehicle has clearly never owned a prior flood vehicle


    It is an absolute nightmare

    Like someone posted above, wiring and such may be fine for a year or two until the corrosion slowly sets in...then electrical gremlins with absolutely every single part...strange things start rusting and rotting out like seat rails and dash braces...you can replace the carpet and seats but the smell of mold and mildew will never go away
