That rig eventually died because of multiple (failed) attempts at the crossing. A few of which included "helping" the water flow toward the engine via backing up hill after being submerged...

, hey it works perfectly,

How often have you seen a vehicle get into 7ft deep water, and make it out. If water gets above there I have bigger things to worry about. Besides the military seems to think that is a good height.
Oh and I dont care how things looks as long as they get me there and back at the end of the day!
Dan,
I'm gonna suppose this test was with the vehicle sitting? As for restrictions, yeah I've heard there is some type of baffle arrangement in there to discourage ingesting debris, eh?
As for the Safari quote, it did an excellent job of dancing around the issue with phrases like "flow more fresh cool air than your engine could possibly need", and "determine the extent of any possible increase." Yes, you can get a bunch of air through a 3" tube. But there is a friction penalty to adding intake tube length. Period. Unless someone (perhaps the Fed Court in SF could help with this) changes the laws of physics, a gas dragging against a solid creates friction. If there's a restrictive element in the intake (the fender airbox, for instance) that's SO restrictive that removing it will offset the added restriction of the snorkel tube - yes, net reduction in intake friction. Frankly, I'd be surprised if that airbox is much of an issue as even back then Toyota and every maker were fighting for every last fraction of a MPG.

Yes, vehicle stationary. My Bluepoint thermometer has a short probe (not unlike mine 
) and I did not feel like sprawling on the hood whilst my wife operated the vehicle...
As far as airflow inside that fender goes, go look at one of your 80's again. You will see that the steel fender liner blocks off all access from below and the park lamp occupies the front corner of the fender. Next go under the hood and look at all the access between the inner fenders and the engine compartment. You will see that there is no "barrier" to speak of between the two. After that, pop out your RH park lamp and visualize the baffle thingy that is inside the fender. It is smaller than you think.

The purpose of having a snorkel is that I can share whatever weed I get with my beloved cruiser. Hmmm... perhaps it will float and dance on water too...
Hey.. I need my pipe back... and don't tell me to rename my "Land" cruiser to "Water" cruiser. That Ain't Happening!

Now I see why I have trouble in college 
I've heard that if you add the snorkle and a coulpe of TRD stickers you get as much of an hp gain as you would by adding a supercharger. At least thats what I've heard
Vic,
No, no you wrong.. the TRD stickers give you at least 2-5hp to the driver..lol..

Thats only if you have the TRD stickers on the side, if you put them on the front and the back you get the rest of the ponies.
for every 11 degrees of intake air temperature drop it is worth 1 hp @ the crankshaft. generally speaking. Then factor in a drivetrain loss of approx 25% for an all wheel drive vehicle (80, subaru, audi, etc) and you ar at around .7 hp per 11 degree air temp drop! hope this helps
and if you have stickers the hp gain goes up to 2.7 hp per 11 degrees temp drop
