You would think it would be fine in the rain as long as your bumper,foggy and guards are all on and you arent trying to do river crossings...

Miss very large puddles. A forum member sucked up water and killed his engine from going through some deep water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a degree, but as has been previously mentioned, try and steer clear of big puddles and floodways.I have a similar problem in Kununurra Tom, but I don't have an UBP to worry about. lolJust make sure you are aware of it and drive accordingly.

Yeah, trying real hard to avoid puddles. But with some of the roads in Broome its quite hard too mmmm scary stuff with the engine dieing from water thru the CAI. Might cover the fog light area every time I clean it so the Pod can stay dry. Tommorow hopefully taking the whole front bumper off, ill have a look then. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
