ok so i want a snorkel for my jeep but my dad thinks that its the ugliest thing you could ever put on your xj what do you guys think anyone got any pictures I'm looking at one that looks like the safari snorkel

 

here is mine.

 

You can route your stock air box to pull air from the vent in front of windshield on drivers side. There is a write up on here that covers it well

 

Just remember that there is more to water proofing your jeep then just a snorkle. However I think they look bad *** and are the best cold air intake any body could ever do

heres mine

 

your dad may think its ugly but trust me, im sure he would rather think your jeep is "ugly" than see you end up hydro locking the motor because you sucked up water

 

i think it is one of the most important thing to have if you see a lot of water

 

Yes they look cool but that doesn't make your vehicle waterproof. Im agreeing with you on that. Just think for a moment, yes your air intake sits all the way up now but where does the ECU sit????

 

I just did a cowl snorkel. I sure as hell hope i'm never past my hood in water.

 

Not just that but remember it only takes about a half a cub of water to hydrolock. And a broken vacume line can suck that in easy.

i have and it's not fun :-/

I've now hydro locked my truck twice and the 2nd time was the last time the 4.0. If you play in mud get one. And don't cheep out ARB makes one hell of a product.

time to lock it up much!?!?!?!?!?! badass btw! serious flex out back, damn!!!!!!!!!

 

Looks are good for the mall but won't help you on the trail.. Function is what is most important and snorkels serve a good function if water/deep mud is a part of your wheeling adventures

 

all my electronics have been relocated to the passenger airbag location. everything under the hood has been water proofed. then i put the snorkel on.

 

He's 1/2way right. They are kinda ugly but awesome to have!

 

just so you guys know, i am in school for this ****...it takes WAAYYYY less than a half a cup of water to hydro lock....fluids (CAN NOT) be compressed (no matter how strong your metal is!!!) they will bend metal...injectors only SPRAY fuel into a cylinder to burn for your power stroke...so here is a picture to put your father's "ugly" tantrum at ease....a new and (hydro locked) damaged piston rod.. it may only be part of what you need to do...but DO IT!!!
