My homemade snorkel. Its made from left over stainless steel ic pipe and shop vac hose. The Brackets are made from stainless steel, I got from work, that i cut and bent.
IC pipe: $0
Shop Vac hose: $0
Brackets: $0
Paint: $1.98 + tax
Spending just over $2 one a snorkel: Priceless

 

Not snorkel. Water catcher...

You gonna angle that down i hope?

 

I am working on building a top just like store bought snorkel have

 

Oh ok. Post up when your done.

 

Maybe now, back then they were steal.

 

Nice switch panel !

 

Anyone thought of mounting your speed and engine temp in a digital analog mounted to the A-pillar? Was just thinking about it the other day and didnt seem to see much about it.

 

Not me just thought this was awesome and definitely homebrew.

Lol chalk another one up for us

 

What about hinging it to the back of your roof rack, so it lifts upward like the tailgate? Probably need some pretty hardcore struts to hold it upright though lol

 

Just use a pin to hold it up and put straps to limit how far it drops

 

True... a heavy duty strut to make it easier to lift plus a locking pin combination would be ideal. Seems like something that would actually be relatively easy to build... and if it latched into the rear bumper, it would also function as an exo cage for the rear end.

 

Yeah also the tire would help reduce the impact transfer to the vehicle if you got rear ended

 

Also that tire will destroy your rear hatch if you get rear ended.

 

Depends on how its built and braced
