What kind of tires are those?

I think the alternator problem is related to particles in the water getting trapped in the alternator, rather than water itself. Some of these materials are conductive and can ruin the alternator. I guess it's possible in any water crossing, but muddy brown water stands a better chance of killing it. Deep, fast-moving, relatively clear-looking water like that, probably not so much.

The driver looks like he is on the right side of the VX.

May I be so bold as to urge you to service your front bearings?...
The reasoning behind this you ask???

Personal experience...I was wheelin' in an ORV park that had reddish orange trails, (a reclaimed iron ore mine) I was due to service my front bearings the next weekend.
Upon dis-assembly, I was suprised to find the same coloured grungy spooge INSIDE my front hubs where my bearings reside.
There were no deep water crossings, just splashed through a few puddles that day.
BTW, nice vid.
