"glow in the dark" snorkel hats. Handy if you wander off in the bush at night, maybe you've gone fishing or something, and you need to find your way back to your vehicle in the dark. Also handy for locating your Jeep in the carpark outside the pub.

I want one just for that! :lol:

Is there going to be any issues with the antenna (aerial) for those of us in the US? I see the half moon going around the indicator in the pictures but is there going to be a clearance issue as the aerial comes up vertically?

I would be in-- for the CRD one with the filter. What is the price on it? What do the replacement filters run?

Fouros · **Posted:** Fri Aug 11, 2006 4:39 am

it will be about 250 aussie dollars for the donaldson and yes they will be available for the CRD ( we have had them since 2003 )

kolesy · **Posted:** Fri Aug 11, 2006 5:01 am

Hold on I am kinda confused

So are they gonna be $250 or $450??

Fouros · **Posted:** Fri Aug 11, 2006 5:24 am

ok

the snorkle using your stock airbox once the all the holes are plugged will be $450.00 , the snorkle plus using the REPLACEMENT donaldson filter will be $450 + $250 for the REPLACEMENT filter

now these prices are in Australian Dollars so I dont know what the final US retail price will be, just an indication

i hope that clears it up

1 Australian dollar = 0.7615 U.S. dollars as of today, thus:

$342 + $190 = $532 US for CRD with donaldson filter.

Radio or snorkle? I say Fux the radio.

What is a danaldson filter?

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Fri Aug 11, 2006 4:54 pm

Still too costly when all other models can be found for under $300.

50 people for a group buy????? That'll never happen. (a challenge has been made...the gauntlet thrown down). Won't see my name for the price currently being mentioned.

20 people? Maybe.

$290? Maybe (for me). >$300? Not for me.
