Problems with Rugged Ridge Snorkel

[FoxtrotJulietBravo]

So I’ve honestly been holding off on removing my rugged ridge snorkel due to its cost and seeing about redneck fixing it instead.

This here really defeats the purpose of the snorkel. The space on the side that exists is enough to pull water into the engine if submerged.

And I have submerged this machine and count my blessings that it hasn’t damaged anything.

Too many areas for it to fail on me. Gasket rubber seals already cracking. Completely in the way of the battery terminal area.

My question is what snorkel should I do instead, OR what should I purchase and modify for safer water trekking without decreasing air intake consumption.

Just saw a YT vid where a fella’s insurance agent informed him that his policy would be void or they would drop him if he failed to remove the snorkel. It may be worthy to have the discussion with your agent before you place your self in a situation where you have to file a claim.

They are now a factory option on Wranglers and Broncos. I think TRD Pros too, so I wonder how that'll work out in those cases. I saw that though.
That might also have had to do with what he was doing on his YouTube page. Maybe it scared his agent!
