Great pics... but what is the story on the dual snorkels? Any pics of how and why they are hooked up in a dual configuration?

Oh wait, maybe one feeds the cab air supply so you can take the entire rig into water as deep as the roof line.

I can't recall ever seeing that much open field with no trees....guess I'm just used to living in a forested area.

ok it has twin snorkles because its powered by a rover/tvr hybrid v8.i though it would look better with twins.and also lets more air into the engine that way.

as woodzie said most surfs are diesel over here,but there are a few petrol powered ones,mine for instance.this was steins first off road trip since being built,so it was a bit of a shake down run to remove the gremlins,i have to say i was impressed at how well it performed off road ,being only 2wd, only two gremlins appeared 1.loose coil wire 2.radiator caked in mud which caused an overheat.
