waterproofing engine

[coolboarder1231]

i break down alot in the woods when wheeling mostly because of water, either my electrical or my exhaust gets wet and i stall, what are some steps can take do help prevent my electrical getting wet and my engine from stalling?

maybe tape my electrical better? i dont know, this is my first mud truck..

thank you

MY solution was always a few hours with clear RTV and dielectric grease. Silicone the connectors you can, grease the ones you can't. I also saw some great articles in the tech section of the trs main page about making some hidden (read: non-hideous) snorkels. Unless the engine has already stalled the exhaust is no concern. The pressure is sufficient to keep the water out.
