Need a Spot
I have done some searches and not found answers... Last weekend I was doing a crossing where water almost came over the hood just for an instant. Luckily I did not have a problem. I plan on making a snorkle setup so I can be more agressive but wonder about the computer brain (22RE) that is behind the passenger side kickpanel. Would that be my weak link should I be in long enough for the cab to fill? Are there techniques for sealing the kick panel brain off? Besides the normal ignition stuff, is there anything else I need to consider sealing brain wise?
Last question - does anyone have any photos where they cut their fenders for say 35's on a stock suspension? I'd like to run tall narrow tires. I want the travel but want to keep my center of gravity as low as possible.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Basically cut or bend anyplace the tires rub.

Get a tupperware that just fits around the computer box. Cut some slits in it for the mounting brackets and a hole for the wiring. Then put the lid on and RTV all the openings that were cut. Put some of that silica get packets like they put in shoes in there to absorb any humidity trapped in there.
