^^ you do have a point but having a snorkel does get the intake up and above the heavier dirt that is in the air. especially in dusty desert trails having your intake higher gets cleaner air certainly cleaner than the air at grill level. Snorkels are a great idea when done right can be very beneficial so your boy with the snorkel in the desert isn't completely nuts. they aren't just for water.

 

I love threads that turn out this way, duct tape is strong the mythbusters held up a car with it. And it'll probably take years for it to rot away.

 

not it only takes about 6 months. think about it. he removed the stock airbox so the intake hole by the radiator will constantly allow water vapor and dirt into his engine compartment dirrectly by the dryer exhaust hosing which has the duct tape on it. the constant high to low temperatures of driving and then parking will weaken the glue quickly. also the glue doesnt have a great surface to attach to on the ribs of the heater exhaust hosing. I used duct tape on an airbox mod that I did temporarily until I could get fiberglass and It held up maybe a month and a half and my airbox sealed that hole

 

i didnt remove the airbox! lol i bought it with the k&n attached to the hose you see in there. it i had the airbox it would have been alot better

 

so its on the roof now? I modified my K&N into my airbox at the stock location

 

i mean it didnt have an air box lol

 

Look at how this guy did his, clean, simple, effective and cheap. I plan to do the same thing on Simple Green.

By the way, that the guy that wrote the Performance Cherokee builders guide.

 

NJ XJ - I for one can't wait to see that mini keg up there! I think that will be the topper on the cake!

Good on ya!

 

Jeez gus cut him some slack. He said all he was doing with it was wheeling it in the woods and who cares if its not pretty. I cleaned all my gutters the other week that had ice in them and they held up to 4 in of ice.

BTW....the NAXJA guys looks like it wouldnt get a whole lot of air to it and cause it to over heat

 

Jeep-Flash welcome to the forum. I dont mean to be mean or anything but you gotta use grammer on here. that frustrates the hell out of me!

"BTW....the NAXJA guys looks like it wouldnt get a whole lot of air to it and cause it to over heat"

you had 4" of ice just on your gutter mounts? howd you manage that? hanging off or built upward?

one of my favorites was when I worked up at meadows ski resort and I came down to my jeep to find it buried in a snow drift and a 4-5 forr horrizontal wind drift clinging to my rain gutters.

GOBALZERS6- what did you cheat on? I saw your apology

 

To the OP. More power to you for making something that you love and works for you. WHo care what anyone thinks. Have fun and next time someone was bashing on you and gets stuck just keep on going. lol Love the snorkel man!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Don't ask me how the gutter mounts held, for some reason they did. and sorry for the grammar. Engineering student = no use of grammar

 

Really? Thats just an ignorant assumption. You think everyone on NAXJA is made of money? Just because people like their Jeep done right doesn't mean they are loaded. I worked hard for EVERYTHING I have so I like it done right. A couple of my favorite people to wheel with are active here and on NAXJA and they aren't made of money. I am not gonna be an *** about it because CF is more heavily moderated. Thats ok, Thats how its done here and I understand fully. Its nice to have constructive criticism but sometimes you gotta here the cold, hard truth.

 

Now thats how you do it!

 

i understand the constructive criticism but now is just a bit ridiculous. they are just sitting there makin jokes. those guys are just fourm rats and have no life.
