I know Toyota says that you can go up to 27" of water. One of the Toyota models at the Auto Show said you can't hose it out. This leads me to ask for those that plan on going swimming in the FJ, where are the items that are restricting higher forging or is it just a matter of bouyancy? If you added a snorkel, would it do any good? Are the FJ brains (electronics) mounted somewhere that the water would fry at 29"? What can be done to protect oneself from damaging a swimming FJ? How many vents would you have to extend to a higher location?
Just thought it was a different topic then what has been discussed thus far.

you will want to put extended breathers on both the front and rear differentials (the air filter housing is generally a good place to start) at least as those are almost sure to get wet if playing in the water. from the looks of this:
the intake goes into the starboard fender, making it well suited for snorkel installation. also much better than the older (79-95) trucks/4runners whose intake was right behind the drivers headlight, all the better for sucking in splashed water (i know from experience). the computer is, more than likely, someshere in the cabin. if it gets wet you have done something HORRIBLY wrong.
