Mine is not snorkled, but I should be able to go deeper than this right? I would show you a pic, but I can't figure out how you guys put a link to a pic. Any help on this link issue?

you could drive it under water if it had long enough breather tubes. all your breather tubes need to be constantly up in the air. if you get water in your crank, your motor is hydro-locked same with your intake. if your CVT intake gets wet your not going anywere. and if your diffs get filled with water, those coudl get hydro-locked aswell. and water in your gas would mean your not going anywere.

You can only take them as deep as your 3 snorkels, airbox, clutch, tranny.

get the URL of the picture, and then make a web link, because the forum dosnt support direct pictures, we'll have to click on the link to view the picture.

If you're able, the best way to get through is to wheelie it, it keeps the snorkels up higher and lets you get through much deeper water than normal. I did that with my Hawkeye, but one tire hit a ridge and the other went in a hole while coming out and dumped me over on my side lol Got water in the center console and i was done until spraying it down with WD40.

It was a muddy water hole, more mud than water!
