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.

Old mechanics trick to clean the carbon outta the combustion chambers is to mist water in the intake or carburetor from a spray bottles.

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

Boost, I like your mount it looks very solid. I like how you took it back father than most. Did you have to modify the light at all?

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
