"That water doesn't look that deep"
I said right before bailing the floor boards and drying the distributor.

Just a question... how waterproof are Diffs and axles? we did a little wading (nothing like the photos) last week when the roads flooded and everything seems fine but do I need to get busy with the grease and oil?

It's something you need to check out definitely. Your differentials have breather tubes for when the air in them expands/compresses due to heat fluctuation and if you go over your breather tubes you can get water inside the differentials.

Your probably fine. Find the breather tubes, see if they are placed high enough to not have gotten wet.

You all should also post what you've done to waterproof.
