if toyota found out that he went through water any higher than the bottom of the bumper they will not pay - they call it abuse - if toyota's eyes the reason for fitted a snorkel is for getting cleaner air above the dust and not for water crossings.

ps - i got a snorkel, and it is for water crossings.

Yeah I heard somehting like if the water is anywhere above ya hubs ya stuffed on warranty. Funny though because most of the ads that car manufacturers now use show trucks jumping and hammering through water.
