How deep in the water can the ace go???

 

[Scoundrel]

The air intakes for engine and clutch are just above the bed, at about 40" off the ground with stock wheels/tires.
But I don't know how well the diff and gearbox breather hoses are snorkeled.

 

[Scoundrel]

I looked at the gearboxes.
There is actually no rear gearbox. The axles come straight out of the transmission. It has a breather which goes up just under the bed, and opens out a few inches below where the intake is.
The front diff has a similar tube which goes up under the front storage box, which is again a few inches below where the intake level is.
You could buy some longer pieces of clear vinyl tubing and run those breathers anywhere you wanted to - even up the roll cage if you felt like it.

Yours truly

In the third pic, you look like you're daydreaming. Eyes on the road!!

Haha that's how comfortable the ACE made me feel

 

[Scoundrel]

This might be an issue for deep water too (CVT air output). It's lower than the bed.

Good catch! Looks like that needs to be snorkeled up above the bet at least.
