Does this 4runner really need a snorkel?

You'd have a hard time finding deep enough water for that snorkel.

given enough time, youll see that rig fording deep enough water for that snorkel to be of some use. mind you, what little electrics that are inside wont be of much use once the water drains away.

Nah... The exhaust would be on the drivers side. See that tail pipe on the passenger side?

Mud bogging just aint for me. I can see the joy one would get out of it, but your truck is so one dimensional once you decide to go that route...

It may not get deep enoguh for the snorkel to go under, but for the momentum and the water will get kicked up into the engine bay, so the snorkel would have a purposse to at least keep the air intake away from some of the spray.

If it's in Florida they do a lot of Swamp Buggy Racing down there and trucks this tall are the norm. They race through water like 6' deep.

Crikey, some people think 33x9.5 are skinny. Those wheels look suspiciously like 1" plywood painted white. God, I hope not.
