Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.

I once worked for a guy who drove his '73 Blazer into a local lake to show off for the kids on the beach. He got stuck, sunk it to the bumpers trying to get out, it sat there overnight and most of the next day before a wrecker finally winched him out from the top of the nearest dune, we pulled it back to the shop and went to work...... it took months of spare time to rebuild both differentials, all wheel bearings/assemblies, and finally, the transmission. He was finally able to drive it again, and then it went to knocking....... that's when he sold it and lost his tail end........

All in all, I'd say it's not really a smart move. I'm sure my ex-boss would tell you the same. Unless you are into spending TONS of money and work for a few seconds of glory, which could very easily (as in my ex-boss's case) make you look like a real winner for a long time in the eyes of your friends (and customers).

You guys sure work slow. I can rebuild an axle in 3-5 hours and there was no reason to rebuild anything anyways, just drain it all out, run some oil-cleaner, drain again, then refill with oil and drive away.

If he sucked sand into the tranny and diffs from being a douche then he deserved what he got. Always properly route breather lines if you're building a vehicle to play in water/mud..
