Older explorers are known for hydrolocking in puddles as well. And all those cool ads driving through stuff too

I would guess as long as you draw air from the fenderwell, chances of hydrolocking is low. Most of those imports draw air from behind the headlight etc and the cold air tube sometimes brings the filter lower down near the ground.
