Default snorkle question

ok well i want to make some kind of intake for my 88 xj

where we take our rigs out around here there is alot of mud and water and it all gets into the air boxs

now i want some kinda intake for my jeep, but dont really want it sticking out from the side as much because it might get ripped off as this is my trail rig and its gonna get used

so any suggestions?
