Big thing is to watch the temp gauge, the most expensive problems with the ifz is due to improper/lack of maintenance to the cooling system. FWIW I am guilty as well as I cooked the head on my 3FE by overheating it.

I will just say that the wife had nothing to do with it, she was 40 miles away!
Fastest way to destroy an 80?
Wheel the pee out of it.
Especially in the midwest.
Woody will soon find out.

fastest way to ruin it would be to go on a drinking binge with mickeyrubicon and his neighbor and leave your 80 unattended with him and his sawzall for a while.

From that picture, it looks to me like you'd need a snorkel...and a float tube, and swim fins. The mud was probably deeper than the water.
As for your question "what ruins your sun roof" the answer is Father Time & Mother Nature. I just replaced mine on my 93 the old seal had hardened and shrunk from UV exposure and the rest of the elements and leaked like a sieve. I had a fair amount of water leaking down my A pillar even with all the drain holes clear and rocker slits completely open. Changed the sun roof and have not had one drop of water in the cab. Cdan's smart shopper price is around $280.00 Which is a fair trade-off for a mildew free interior.

don't drive on asphalt with lockers locked just to see what will happen.... 
don't believe experienced cruiserheads who tell you that yes it's an easy trail and you'll be fine with your stock rig....
don't start to remove your roof rack to see if there is rust underneath....

Just get one without the rack. and avoid the others. Also, don't submerge it thinking it has God like powers and can submarine through puddles that look 1' in depth.

Knock sensors suck to replace, Damn things are expensive. Broke one on my 100 and that sucked to go back in and fix. PHH has been done by PO and thanks for that. Did not know you could break one there. $140 a pop on the 100, don't know about the $$ on the 80's.
Keep an eye on the temp. Anywhere close to red or in it, shut it down.
Reverse w/ wheels turned up hill, not good. Busted one on my old 55
I'm still new to the 80 series, but there is some real good words of wisdom out here.
Watch , listen, and learn.

"Ooops I forgot to look"

4. What ruins your sun roof?
The best part was keeping it from slideing down the hill to the bottem (300 yards or so )
If it was raining like it almost aways does there it would have taken off like a shot as soon as it flopped .
Yeah, it was Wrench's truck
