Check your manual. It will be in there. But from memory its something like 600mm or level with the centre of the wheels/hubs
Wot he said ^^^^
630mm rings a bell from somewhere but as Pee Bee said 600 or thereabouts is close enough for me as well.
Almost positive it is the same (whatever it may actually be) for Cab Chassis and Wagons as well
I think early GU was the same but later ones are 700mm FWIW (not 100% sure on when it changed)
The intake is in the paasenger guard up the top at the front bwhind the headlight
What if you got a factory fitted snorkel? Lol. Top of the windscreen is your depth. Just make sure your windows are shut.
What if the water gets in through small holes or crevices and drown you? :)Quote:

I can't find that youtube clip. :)
Found the fuel tank vacuum relief valve for a '94 is in the fuel cap. I would suggest that even with the diffs, gearbox and transfer case breathers raised, getting water into the fuel tank could be disastrous.
