So my dealer told me to be super careful and not to hit any puddles to avoid risking hydrolocking...I can't say I haven't hit a puddle or two but no issues... Should I be as concerned as they made it sound I should?

sorry I'm great at goin OT.

A puddle large enough to hydrolock your G3's would be 3 ft deep. Dont worry about it.

If you hit a puddle large enough to submerge your G3's...I hope you're also wearing a snorkle!!!

Seriously though, no you'll be fine. Your dealer is just being extra careful, which is good. The G3's are mounted very high, you won't have to worry about that.
