snorkle for paj

Yes, just ask Airtec

Hi there shane c, yes and no,if you only take the kids to and from school and the vehicle never leaves the tar then total waste of money,if you intend to take of road and travel on dusty red soil roads and intend doing some water crossings then yes, but if only doing a dirt road to take the kids down to the creek then once again wasting your money.Totally up to you,if you just want it for looks then air tec will definately take your hard earned cash ??? Regards Steve M

Been debating this one too.
We do one big trip a year out west, well at least every 2nd year.
(2 out of 3?)
Not any deep creek crossings, well much deeper than 600/700mm.
Don't even get to the top of the rims very often.

So I have 2 uni foam air filters at about $70.00 ea.

Swap them over every 2nd or 3rd day in very dusty (bulldust) conditions usually when I do my morning under bonnet and tyre check.
Milder conditions they run for a week OK.
Wash them out and reoil when we stop for a day catching up.
May go to a snorkel if we do the cape again, but then you arn't allowed to cross the jardine like we did in the old 85 model!

PLanning two big trips in the next two years with lots of bulldust, so debating it at the moment.

Only if you're contemplating doing deep water crossings. Have had mine over some VERY dusty tracks and the standard setup works fine. Even for deep water crossings as long as all the deflector bits are in place that are designed to deflect water, and you use a blind, then you'll have no problems.

Cheers.....

If you do install a snorkel, make sure the joints are sealed, as I gather they often are not; no point finding out after a water crossing.
