So... i made this homemade snorkel for my '89 p/u but it looks like crap... it works (from experience) but i dont ever plan on going that deep again cuz it up a lot of other stuff... lookin at my options - get a new airbox and leave it stock, get a new airbox and make a better snorkel (preferably with a kit), or just leave it with what i have...

just wondering wut u guys think and if you think i should get a new snorkel.. where is the best place to get a cheap one?

thanks,

Lon

 

how about some pics of the one you have right now? but if it really looks that bad, check out ARB, as they sell snorkels...not sure if they have your year, but heck, it's worth a shot...

 

well in my experience. once you go that deep your gona do it again, if your setup works go with it....if you are worried about looks make it removable so u can just put it on when wheeln

 

aiight... heres the pics... and im more worried about looks when im wheelin gotten some pretty messed up comments from ppl when im out about it...

i think the 4x4 posts as a seat mount would get you more flack.... and judging by your avatar and the pics you posted, you need to keep it. maybe cut it down a lil to make it look better. the pic i posted above is what happened when i hydrolocked at Tahuya a month ago. i'm not looking at a full engine rebuild or having the cost of doing a motor swap, plus not having my rig for a couple months (plus add the cost of a new snorkel).... if i could go back and do it all over again the 500 bucks to get an ARB snorkel or a home made one like yours i'd do it in a heart beat.

 

To me it looks like you have got a lot of restrictions from the kinks where you have heated up the Conduit. Having the union right at you MC and PS pump looks to have caused one of the kinks.
I think that getting another airbox and a Safari Snorkel would be the way to go...

 

Don't forget to start water proofing all your other stuff too. All your ignition components and other electrical parts hate the wet, and your snorkel won't help them much.
I took a deep dip once (over the hood momentarily) and even though I had no snorkel I got out with out incident, or so I thought. One by one over the course of about 4 months all my pulleys went out.

 

thanks for the input guys... btw those seat mounts are steel tube 4x4 and another of my current projects... can any1 give me a link for cheap snorkel kits?

 

that actually doesnt look half bad, better then those mix and match pvc stuff, it looks like a real snorkel

if i was you, i would cut it at the roof, no need for that extra piece there
