Great pics 8) Looks like you also have the international trail obstacle too, a stolen burnt car. ;D

That looks like some slippery sh!t. I think you should have left the log, play it as it lies. ;)

Cool, pics 8) Looks like a great time (except for the clean up afterwards). Was that after a good rain or is it always muddy there (seems like most pics are of mud from your area).

I always find that amusing.  With my group nobody runs a snorkel due to the problem of sheering them off on trees, rocks, etc.  :D

The Land Rovers have a better idea to fix that. Since the Discovery has cathedral seating (rear seats higher than the front), they run a roof rack which forms to the roof line. Then with a ARB or similar bumper with grille and light protector tube, then run a snire line from the roof rack to the tube. The inlet is below this line and protected by the braches. The branches (in theory), run along the line, up and over the vehicle.

That is a good way to do it.  If a snorkle was required I would probably do something similar, running it through the firewall and into the cab, then up behind the roll cage.  As it is I have never really had to cross deep water.  I don't even have an electric fan on it yet.
