Yeah... Aussies use snorkels quite a bit because many of them drive in very dusty conditions. They have benefits.You know until about a year or so ago, I thought the snorkel was literal and for fording water. Read that its actually to breathe better in sand
Bub Rub would be proud. Woooooooo Wooooooo!I better not run across some haters tryna lie about whistle tips...
Luke….. I am your father!The Grumper
apologies to those who've never seen a Grumper and are throwing up right now
Welcome to the obsession! Do some reading, watch some videos, then find a local group to go out with. Best way to learn. It’s generally a great community that loves bringing in newbies, so long as you are willing to learn and do your best to stick to “leave no trace” principles. Just be aware that some of the people here… well let’s just say it’s not specifically an off-roading or overlanding forum.You stole my thunder. I've never owned a 4x4 but told my wife if I'm buying this thing I'm using it for what it's built for. I see too many of these things (mostly Wranglers) on the road all tricked out with everything that everyone has listed so far (some of which I have no idea what they are...thank you google) and you know they've never seen an un-paved road....don't get it. Excited to learn, get the damn thing dirty (probably scratch it up a bit, but that's OK) and have some fun.
The hate is real. Wait til Ford comes out with a BraptorV8 392..... if you want to race, buy a mustang!
I have had a carbed CJ7 in water deep enough to wet the hood and it was the electronics that got me stuck. Carb is nice and high but that alternator is not.It's both, but the number of water crossings where you'd be deep enough to need the snorkel AND also be able to make it across without being swept away or destroying all the electrics in the vehicle is exceedingly low. They are very useful in sand.
Or never drive them at all and just put em in a bubble in the garage.I swear its as bad if not worse as the dummies that buy a sports car but only drive the speed limit if not under....
