Snorkels

[SleepyJeep]

Me too... except not a high snorkel for me...

The faux one is not high, so that should work for you. After I put my KC lights on the windshield Idk a high snorkel would fit in mine either ...

oooh yes yes. I agree. I like that one. Just not sure if it will with the genesis dual battery kit.

Came in to announce this nice one man. Also for fans of AEV the snorkel is on XOverlands rig being tested right now so hopefully by end of year expect their front bumpers and snorkel for JT/JL.

Also, when fording water with a manual transmission, you should pick the correct gear before entering the water so you do not need to engage the clutch after it has been submerged. Think of how your disc brakes feel after getting them wet, your clutch plates do the same thing.

Also, from my previous post - 30 inches in stock form. That info came from Jeep.

You number 1 smart man here < pay attention folks, he know what he speaks!

With a snorkel..... Yes it looks cool and all and gets cold air to intake but, rain? driving in heavy rain doesn't rain water get sucked, driven into the forward facing air intake? then......

1) Cold air? Not really, its ambient temp be it 118 F in Phoenix or - 10 In the Dakota's. The diff in temp at 30 in vs 70 in is negligible, but where you do win big is you are not getting underhood temps which are quite hot, so its a win!
2) Water ingestion is not a major issue depending upon the amount. In the days of old when Lead was in gasoline, you got a significant build-up of Lead-carbon unless you drove at highway speeds regularly. For those of us who grew up on a ranch or farm and owned an old #9 Ford tractor with it 4 cy gasoline motor and had ranch trucks with their gas motors, they all went slow and idles much.

But there was a solution, aka Valve job as what happened with the Lead-carbon build-up was the valves would not seat properly and you would lose compression along with HP/Torque and performance. A valve job for most cars was between $300 and $500 bucks, LOT of money at that time...UNLESS you did a Valve job in a can: Take ANY 12 oz can drink the contents, pour in some H2O and with your engine running at normal temp, pour 12 oz of water down the throat of the carb while revving the engine, poor slowly. On our tractors and trucks, we removed the rear exhaust pipe, this was done to allow the CHUNKS of carbon to blow out and not get stuck in the muffler. Do this once or twice depending upon how much carbon chunks were blown out. You just saved $3-$500 bucks. So how does it work so well? Cool water going into the combustion chamber which is about 4500F, the water instantly turns to steam and cools down the carbon build-up, carbon is extremely hard and the cool water steam literally explodes the carbon build-up and it gets blown out the exhaust. We used to do it every year on all our cars and trucks. It was part of an annual tune-up on everything we drove.

I hafta admit I am interested in a snorkel just for the looks - I know I know this is the only option accessory that I am going to put for the looks (poser-ish) and I am prolly never going to drive it into a river but maybe a small puddle on a trail LOL. Hey - but you never know cuz I do plan to drive my truck cross country and onto the Dalton Highway within the next 1.5 years when I have all my mods in. I am waiting for Safari Snorkels to release one for JT. The Aussies seem to love the Safari Snorkels...

Just about anything you throw at a jeep is mostly for looks and rarely used. 100% of all Jeep owners go off road...in their minds.

I offroad alot.
Before the snorkel I would clean my air filter (safe dry filter) after every trip and it would be disgusting.

After the snorkel I didnt check it till 3 years after being installed. Super clean still.

I have had water over the hood on my JK
Seal all your electrical connections with dialect grease.
Reroute axle breathers to the intake.
Reroute Tcase breather too.
Wire in an electric fan kill switch.

Adjust door catches so they are tight.
Water over the door handles I had maybe a quart of water in the passenger floorboard

September for ARB!

 

[Oscar Indy]

I'm going to wait for the Rugged Ridge. Less obnoxious than the arb generally is.

I like its obnoxiousness (though it looks very similar to the mopar one) it makes me feel like I'm on safari.

What do you guys do for the exhaust? The river fording in a jeep is new to me but not cycles. I'm working on a WW2 German R75 clone bike, the exhaust is mounted above the rear wheel height and the air filter sits on top of the gas tank like this. In order for the engine to work right don't both ends of the system have to be open?

Beautiful Bike. Keeping history alive. Very cool.

That one isn't mine sadly. Mine is a work in progress yet. The downside of an 80 year old bike having the air pipes go through the gas tank is it presents a boat load of seams to leak. I have learned all about soldering gas tanks the last month or so. Just about done with it and then red kote the inside, leak test, prime paint and mount on the bike.
