How best to dry out flooded jimny was created by piprice

Had water a foot deep in jeep today!

I'm thinking of putting a full jerry can in, blocking drive off and just going in house with heaters on full blast and widows open an inch each....

Is this the way?

Id take the seats out then put a portable de-humidifier in there.

Could use a wet vac on the seats and carpet to get most of the water out first.

Is it silica gel or something like that? You get them pouch things in with boxed trainers to keep them dry.
