Dif fluid change up is cheap and excellent insurance against future problems. We see quite a few start problems with summerged, not the water, it's the muck that gets into them. If your stuck was clean then less chance of problem. If really soupy, then watch the starter. A few buds have also done in the clutch. Design of that one has my head shaking. It's a jeep, the clutch shouldn't lead to fail because of water crossing. I'll stick with the AW4 thankyou. Other than getting a good undercarriage hose job and pump those universals full of grease to force out any water, you should be good to go.
