snorkle choice

Ray,

Just had a squiz at the Opposite Lock site and their snorkels are shown as Safari Brand, so take your choice from ARB, TJM, or Opposite Lock distributors.

Bill, I would suggest the main reason for a snorkel is for clean air then the occasional water crossing.
You spend more time on dusty roads than in water, dirty air filters use fuel and reduce engine performance/efficiency. Dust passing the air cleaner damage engines.
The bottom of the mailbox has a drain which to let water out, this can also let water in. Sealing this stops water draining (from heavy rain or freeway spray) it only takes a thimble of water to hydraulic an engine.

You should never cross flooded creeks, if you can't walk it, don't drive it.

hi ray t1
x 3 for safari
I installed mine 15yrs ago and it has never cracked or failed in any way well made
the most important thing is how well it is installed
I sealed all the joints with silastic as I installed it myself
so that there was no chance of dust or water getting in
awell made snorkel is useless if the joints leak
I don't have a lot of faith in after market installers
when the safari turbo was installed by the local supplier he left a sharp piece of metal too close to the inter-cooler hose and after only 5000km it chapped through
but then refused to pay for the replacement $70 hose claiming it wasn't his fault
guess what
I don't go near his business anymore
cheers
