Yeah Snorkel would be fine. Also with all the dust here. I was planing to built one but at least it was to much drouble....
I checked my airfilter after all of that "potholes" and no single trop was in it. But shit can happen thats true. Unfortunatly slower driving was no option as the ground was very soft.

are you guys getting water through the doors at these crossings or does it stay dry inside?

No way! Just had them over on Friday night, surfed with them on Saturday. Then sent them on their way up the coast.

No intrusion noted in my setup. I was quite surprised.
