The water at its highest was maybe 45". Recently however in a similar situation, I ran the X along a lakebed, filled with water :rolleyes: For approximately 5 truck lengths the hood was not only under water, but from what I could see it was nearing the tops of the side mirrors. 
I'm gonna' say 52", it was 5-6 inches over my bottom window edge. The water is fresh and clear so it was a bit eery chugging along under the surface as the water in front of and above the X became illuminated in the dark that night. Very surreal, almost like swimming in the pool after dark. My intake remained dry (again) and strangely so did the interior (unlike the first time ![[Laughing]](graemlins/laughing.gif)
). Perhaps proof of the aforementioned theory utilizing cabin pressure ?.. Not posting for a roasting here, I just thought I'd add my personal experience of deep water crossing. The X is very capable, very capable indeed.
ps, still no snorkel.Pics?
