Talk to me about snorkels

[Ogeechee 4x4]

I dono, I think under hard rain water may get sucked in. Most snorkels have a cover to help with that.

That's what i had in the back of my mind too....Or perhaps when it's just sitting in the yard or in the campground under a hard rain and i need to fire it up before the filter has a chance to dry.

Here is the thing, its only as good as weakest link. Even if you keep the engin running, water still can get into tranny,or diff vents, electronics(especialy the dist). All of these things need to be vented. In baja we ran the intake filter between the seats, and plumed all other vents (diff, tranny, t-case) too the main filter. The distributer cap can be rtv'd down, but you still should run a vent hose for it.

Very true. I'm not trying to make a submarine out of the vehicle, just trying to minimize the chance of sucking water through the air intake during those all-too-common "it didn't look that deep!" mud holes...


And I'm just kicking around the idea at this point. It's not a mod that I'm going to do right away. It's hard for me to drill that 3" hole in my fender...
