When it rains water goes in :( In my opinion the snorkle looks good on the KJ , but not functional when it comes to deep water crossings. If we were to sink our KJ's that far they would not run. Too many components to water proof under the hood. And if by chance they would run , after effects would be a dissaster. There is a lot of work to water proof any jeep, espacially the KJ. But they do help if you live or travel in any dusty enviroment, by raising the intake from the rear airflow if you are following other vehicles. As far as the water getting in in heavy rains, I know a group that run Land Rovers, and they ussualy in torrental downpoors turn the intake to face the rear. But then Land Rover Defenders were designed to get wet :D

Thanks, I've done some research on it, called the company down under, and yeah I don't plan on going that deep. The deepest I've been was 27 inches, (water mark) and that was before the snorkle. The snorkle has these little grooves that the water goes out of, but if I get stuck in a major storm, I'll turn it backwards.

At first, it drove like crap, then after, it drove better than before, so I do like it. Now, I need lockers, and maybe a six inch lift, haha.

Super late posting: Yup, the snorkel looked really cool, and worked well during the less than 5 times I really needed it, lol. Helped me during SS Sandy, and Irene before. However, you're right, there were these small vents that we supposed to vent out the water, but that didn't work, and yup since things are sealed up, the water sits in the box. I noticed that during a massive snowstorm. They do help, but would I get it for my daily driver JK, not a chance, but would if I had a kit Jeep.
