Well with biblical rains and floods everywhere down here, driving through floodwater is inevitable- I avoid it as there seems to be a strong correlation between doing so and front wheel bearings failure shortly afterward, however if I have to, would the bottom lip of the bumper be a safe limit?
I’m aware the problem would not be water entering the engine due to the high position of the intake (and the fact that if the water blocked the little drain hole in the filter housing, the engine wouldn’t suck it in due to the same factor), but rather the risk of the underfloor compartments getting flooded and toasting the electrics.
Is my theory that no higher than the bottom lip of the bumper or bottom edge of the sill covers therefore correct?
