Sargents will rent you a 4WD for CY but not for the OTL.
Water depth is entirely dependent on when you go. Early April quite different to late April for example.
CY is not all that remote, it's not like the middle of the Canning, you won't need long-range tanks or be days from a roadhouse. I'd take a sixth tyre and the tools to shift it onto a rim.
Snorkels -- do what Caver said. I strongly advise fitting a decent one for CY. Peace of mind cannot be bought once on the track.
The ARB bar weighs 55kg and you take around 15k off the car so total weight +40kg. Nowhere near +90kg. Suspect TJM would be similar.
Drop pressures and drive slowly. The Pen Dev Road is full of people who possess vision I do not -- the ability to see over crests, around apparently blind corners and through dust clouds. --
