i made my system and i used a lot of oil on my exterior prefilter so water wicks away.
and the 97+ have drain holes. i own a 00 and an 01 and they both have the same airbox as a 96
also a little water through the intake isnt the worst thing in the world. it gets burnt and evaporated before it can do anything. more than drops at a time is bad. like a lake would be bad. a spray bottle wouldnt hurt at all.

1 table spoon of water is not going to hydrolock anything but a chainsaw.
I use seafoam on a regular basis, its a liquid and I've dumped an entire 12oz can into the jeep at idle on multiple occasions without doing any damage.
It actually ran far better afterwards
It works amazingly well, i don't understand the physics behind it though
Never tried it...makes sense though since it works really well to clean the "other" inside of a motor

Im honestly thinking about building duplicates of it. No tail light modification needed to be done. I will probably post a thread on it
Edit: more info on the mount here
