Angry Water Sucks

The other day I was out 4 wheeling and a mud hole jumped right down my Bronco II's throte. As many of you probably know the intake box is right next to the pass. side headlight. A great place for a goldfish but umm ... So here's my question ... has anyone had this problem before and how the heck do I remedy the situation?? I will try to come up with an idea .. a cheap (yanno I mean free) way to fix it but if anyone has any ideas of they're own please let me know.

thanks,
Tough

That's perfect .. I am going to try a similar approach. I noticed you cut fenders for bigger tires?!?! Another thing I want to do as opposed to lifting my Lil Pony which has already been on it's side 2 times. Thanks for the input. I'll let you know how it works out.

I also found out I got water in my tranny so I took a 4.0 tranny out of a 96 and put it in. works great and I replaced all my plugs and a new cap/rotor ... all set now I just need some bigger tires. Oh and I flipped the air box over so no more water up the nose. Thanks guys .. Christmas was great .. and Santa brought us a cam. pics soon I promise.
