My stacker is no longer used. I will get around to removing it one day. I have a manual. I used to have stock seats but now have electric leathers...however with even the stock diffs and box breathers i am confident that they happily wade deeper. I have had in crossings where water has come over the bonnet and down the side of the A Pillars....and that was correct sp?ed with a bow wave just formed nicely, not racing through. The system of pulling in air from the inner guard, convoluted path etc all conspire to give it much higher wading depth than the manual says, in terms of the motor. Coil packs and alternator are up in the valley height for the v8, and tbe bosch system has much more punch than the old lucas systems.
I have also sealed up the gaps between the rubber seal ends with a bit of clear silicon so it keeps water out pretty well.
A snorkel would bring piece of mind however if the vehicle stopped mid crossing and the water could wind its way into the air intake without a (properly fitted..) snorkel.
I can go about another 3 inches over stock anyway due to lift and larger tyres.
Cheers
