Looking for a waterproof ignition switch (key type)

I talked to Steve Rumor today. He was in Top Truck a couple of years ago and said that the water level in the tank trap was up to his chest while driving. Everything was under water/mud.

Freakin TTC, what did I get my self into!

Thank's

I don't think I'll need a water proof ignition switch, BUT what about water proof connectors for headlights, taillights, and other engine bay connections?!? I don't wanna have my electrical rotting away or crapping out in the middle of a trail. Anybody? :beer:

With the hood up, we fiddled with the ARB pump. We discovered that the front locker's dash switch was full of sand from the storm the night before. There was no contact.

Best of luck in TTC -- didja drag Jefe outta retirement as a spotter?
