Unfortunately, no one makes a snorkel for the H2 or H3 yet. There are many reasons for this, including that the electronics under the hood are located around the maximum fording depth. (i.e. Exceed that depth, and the electronics will be underwater.) The differentials are also vented, which can allow water in. As far as I am aware, the breathing tubes exit at the top of the A-pillars on the, but I do not know about the H3. If they are lower, you could probably relocate them easy enough. The big problem will be your electronics, though. If you can get them relocated -- which would be a pretty big task, but doable, I imagine -- then a snorkel would be practical. I have not looked under the hood of the H3, but on the H2, the easiest would be to either bore a hole out the side of the hood, right where the air intake is, or route it up through one of the towers on either side of the hood, right in front of the windshield, and have it come out there. I have looked at some of the Safari Snorkels, and could probably modify one to work. Safari Snorkels indicated to me that they are looking at H2 applications, but it is not a priority right now. I do not know about the H3.
