SUP MAN, Its in, and was a fu^&king pain to put in.
Ok, but now I'm wondering what happens when it rains hard and rain gets in the tube. Any ideas??????????????????
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
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.
