Update: For those of you who know I sunk my Hundy in the creek a few weeks ago, I finally got to bring her home! Now begins the drying process. The foam matting under the carpet is SOAKED and I didn't want to pay the dealership to strip it apart and leave it to dry for a week so I decided to do it myself. After driving it home with no issues I parked it in my garage and took off almost all of the trim around the console and door frame that holds the carpeting down and stuffed cut pieces of PVP under it to allow air to circulate through and dry everything. I got 2 large fans on the passenger side (which received most of the water damage) along with a dehumidifier and another fan on the other side facing the drivers area. After I get a good majority of the water out of the easy-to-get places, I plan on putting everything back together and closing the doors with the dehumidifier and a couple buckets of Damp-Rid inside to get the remaining moisture out. I want to get all the water out that is possible to avoid any mildew odors that might arise in the future so I am leaving it in there to dry for about a week.

Another problem I'm having is there is water in the right front blinker and DRL housing (shown in pics below). What's the best way to get that out so it doesn't continue to cause more problems in the future? Does anyone have any suggestions or advice they'd like to share with me? I'm open to anything that might help/speed this process up a little. I'm just glad I got her back in good shape!

Also while I had her up on jacks I cranked the torsion keys a little. I gotta give credit to @Gunney and his Torsion Bar 101 manual https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/for-those-with-torsion-bar-questions.491948/ for the help. Great write up if you need a little instruction on how to do it properly

You should remove both of the front and the second row seats. Pull the carpet and hang it or suspend it in the air. It's really not that much work to do.

I'm not sure what to think about this.

Pull the light bulb plugs and suck out what you can using a wet dry vac. If its not much, just leave the plugs out for a while. Leaving it to bake in the sun will also accelerate the process. Don't ask me how I know.

@Newps I'd be worried about putting it back together correctly!

@SmoothLC do you have any instruction on how to take that portion of the light assembly out? I unscrewed 2 screws on top because it looked like those were the only things holding it together but it's still not coming out. Do I have to take off the bumper or grill to do this?

Update: I decided to remove the rear seats which allowed me to pull up the carpet and matting a lot more to let dry. The left side/middle seat combo piece was a to get out cause it was so heavy. Anyway, I also got the front right headlight and side marker assemblies removed so I can drain and clean the sediment and water out of them. I also figured that while I already had the headlights disassembled I should order a pair of Xentec 6000k HIDs to install since I had the chance. They should arrive around the same time the car is dry enough to reassemble so that should work out great. I'll add more pics when I install the HIDs and when I start reassembling.

See not that hard. Now get the passenger front seat out. It's super light compaired to the 70% part of the 70 / 30 rear seats.

It was from the week leading up to Cruise Moab. We did Torroweap, Devil's Race Track, White Rim Road, Hell's Revenge, Poison Spider, then hit up Arches National Park.

Started reassembling my interior today. Installing the rear 2/3 seat was a b***h because it's so heavy but I eventually lugged it in there. Also contoured the carpet to the interior and replaced all trim pieces. It looks really good and I'm happy with how much it has dried. If you saw the before photos you'd understand... I will continue to park it in my garage with doors open and fans on it for the next week or so. Tomorrow I'm doing the exterior when my HIDs come in
