Definately raise your diff and gearbox breathers.
If you have not already got one a snorkel is also essential.
Sealed beam headlights are better for deep water as well.

As a 4wder who lives in the dry hills do I really need breathers considering I live in Victoria and every time I enter water I have been previosuly travelling at 5km/ph for the last hour and the diffs would be icey cold?
From my understanding, hot diffs suck in water, etc....
Slight hijack but still on track...lol
