The winch is absolutely killing your approach and departure angles. You need to find a way to move it up
 






Im in the middle of making a mount that will move it by the license plate is.
 






Nice rig, what are you running for a differential in the rear?
 












Just running the stock dif for now
 






But prob going to go with arb airlockers
 






i was going to say the same thing about that winch, but other than that it looks mean! youre snorkel setup looks really clean and functional.
 






Thanks the snorkel was a pain to do but for like $60 u cant bet it
 






Nice to see another 3rd gen with a snorkel! What did you end up doing with your antenna bracket?
 






Why the snorkel? It's not like you can use it you would destroy every electronic on the vehicle if you actually tried to use it....
 






I've definitely gotten plenty of use out of mine. As long as all of your connecters are in good shape and have enough silicone in them you won't fry your computers unless you completely flood the cab.

You're really manages to drive through water that's over your air box?
 






I try to avoid going through anything deeper than my door cladding but a lot of times water will wash right over the hood when entering deep holes. The stock intake is definitely more efficient but ever since my friend hydrolocked his sport in only 6" of water they've scared me lol
 






The tubing is under the antenna so i dident do anything with it ill put pics of it without the fender later today so u can see it

If u live in south fl its good to have one as far as electronics they have to be protected Vaseline helps a lot

Nice! I had to cut mine so I switched to a short rubber antenna.

What about the interior though. If your going in water halfway up the door then it's bound to get in no?

Looks good! Mine is angled a bit more which is why I had to cut the bracket.

As for water getting in through the doors, the best thing is to get out of the hole before it does :D
