those are some sweet pics...can't wait to be able to do that kind of thing with my truck...it looks so easy and all, but i know there is a lot of walking and scoping before actually dunking...but it's so worth it

Nice! I'd ride with you anytime man. Fresh water doesn't hurt anything at all as long as the vehicle is prepared for it & you own a grease gun. Salt water on the other hand is a different story...& I bet no one that freaks out about your pics would think twice about buying a sand runner from a beach bum.

You've got to have air intake above the waterline, exhaust above the waterline (in case it stalls), all the engine electronics sealed, a way to stop your fan from spinning (electric,remove fan belt or have some way to quick disconnect) & a sealed cab would be a nice touch once you've gone that far. As far as finding EXACT instructions, I don't know of any but Google may lead you somewhere. Personally, unless I had a Marine Corps Hummer I'd just stay out of the deep water.

I thought this was a cool snorkel video as well. kinda like the part where all you see is people and a snorkel, no more jeep.

And must have a lot of spare change.... As well as parents that hopefully never see their posts. :-)
Looks like fun to me, I just don't have the kind of $$$ to deal with what happens if the snorkel fails, or the hours necessary to clean up the bearings and diffs..
