William "Surprised how the snorkel seems undamaged especially when everything around it is busted."
The snorkel was bent and crushed, although the pics don't show it. I guess it is flexible enough to return to some normal shape. However, the mounting bracket on the A-pillar was completely ripped out of the snorkel and the car - not sure where it ended up.Last edited by fishnut; 30-08-2012, 12:18 PM.

Good to here all on board are OK, including the pooches!
Suprised that its a right of though, I would have thought most of that would buff out
It does give you confindence in the safety of the Prado, not that I ever want to test mine out to see how it compares.
