I've never been offroading and I don't know anything about it, so explain to me these questions:

- How does the engine not hydrolock if it's submerged? Is there some sort of re-routed air intake? What about the exhaust, does it just bubble out or would you need a smokestack like a big semi?

- What about the interior? Surely it's not that water-tight...

It's a carb so the intake it actually pretty high up in the engine compartment, and he doesn't submerge it completely. there is no passenger window, so water gets in ALL THE TIME. Thankfully it's so much water no mold really grows.

As far as I know the air intake is completely stock, the only times he really kills it are when he's so vertical that the carb stops working.

The exhaust, as long as the engine is running the pressure should be enough to keep the water out no problem. (The only times you get water from the exhaust are when you are submerged and shut off the engine, sometimes there's enough backpressure to shoot it into the cylinders, or when you're back end is higher than your front end and you're submerged, completely.)
