Title: My Snorkel
Post by: explosivo on June 01, 2004, 03:28:38 PM: I built this a week or two ago out of stuff I found laying around the house, and figured I'd post some pics.

Post by: lil_Truck on June 02, 2004, 12:41:18 PM: I've heard and seen too many hydroed engines to not have one.

I was driving into this water hole really slow. All of a suddenly the front end droped and water rushed up on to the hood. I quickly turned off the engine.

But as it turned out the hole wasn't that deep and the engine was ok.

Snorkle soon followed.

i have a snorkel and it is in a vary safe place and i don't get much water in the filter, let alone the engine.

how ddi you mount it
To the engine or the body? It runs straight to the engine with just the cone filter on top. I screwed a piece of strap metal stuff to the A-pillar and then bolted it around the tube, clamping it down.
