Blue is best. was created by KFP
I've had my brisk blue LCV for almost 2 years now.
Recently added progressive springs with Bilstein shocks for a mild 20mm lift. Excellent road manners with decent off road performance as green lanes are the most radical dirt tracks I intend on driving.
Last week a mate and I drove around the Yorkshire dales and looking back at some the videos the water crossings were fine for his Warrior, but came close to touching the bonnet on the Jimny.
Still not sure if a snorkel is worth it, as those crossing points are dry for most of the summer.

Water can get everywhere tbh.
Jimny only has a 12" wading depth, this is down to the axles not having extended breathers (which is a bit crap really)/ They use a little one way valve instead on top of the axle casing. So prone to sucking water in.
Next lowest point is probably the transfer box breather.
Obviously you don't want water in the engine, so a raised intake can be handy, but tbh I personally wouldn't want to dunk my Jimny that deep anyhow. Water will get into the starter motor and other things once you are going that deep.
But if it is unplanned wading, then better to be prepared than not.
