no way without frying both the simple electrical and any fancy electronics.(I assume it has none of those.)

had a clamped on outboard hop off a transom held on by wires and steering cables. got towed to shallow water but alas the main +(red) wired fried and broke. towed it home replaced the wire and it started right up ran it for a good long time to blow out any water in the engine....

took it out later that day and cruised all over with it.

but electrical will get you and no intake snorkel ever invented will prevent that...

Windshield wipers were a nice touch.

The title of the video is misleading. The water was just as deep as expected, since the snorkel never goes below the water.

Wow...what a timely thread. I just told my buddy to look for a 6 wheel FJ Cruiser for me that I could screw up with winches, tent roof, skids, hella lights, etc.

He told me to find a 2002-2007 Land cruiser with less than 100k miles. I'd save a ton of money and it is just as good off road with more after market parts that an FJ Cruiser.

Any RKIs on where to start looking?! He said to beware of LandCruisers from yankee land and oceanfronts due to salt.
