Your snorkel should have a filter element at the end of it to help keep dust, bugs, and water from getting inside it. Even if it didn't, something like rain wouldn't be able to fill your engine with water fast enough to hydrolock it. Not unless you were going through a monsoon, that is.

lol, mall rated means a jeep that has been lifted and has some serious off road goodies on it, but only gets driven over parking blocks and the neighbor's rose bush

not sure but pretty sure its a jeep that doesnt see the trail alot, just the road and parking lots. ya know some jeeps had a trail rated badge on them from the factory. some ppl have replaced them with mall rated badges.
