Snorkel

[mikelambert1987]

I recently took my d2 through some mud/puddles and everything went good until the last puddle i hit choked the engine. Thats when i looked under and realized the air intake is in the wheel well. I am just now really learning about working on my own car and it seems to me that thats a really bad idea to have an air intake in a wheel well. Is there anything else i can do other then installing a snorkel to at least partially make it tougher for my baby to suck up water. A snorkel is like 400 bucks and i am putting in a locking t case so i dont not have cash around to do that snokel just yet.


Thanks,
Mike

Don't splash into puddles, if the water is deep, then make a wake... if you are just high speeding for fun and splash effect, the get a snorkel.

But remember a snorkel will keep water from getting in the intake, but not the electrics.

Well my problem is i go quick because i do not want to get stuck as most of the time i have to wheel alone because not many people up here go wheeling

Im with joey here if you decide on the snorkel remember "But remember a snorkel will keep water from getting in the intake, but not the electrics" and personally I would not recommend going mudding alone there has to be some one with a 4X4 where your at.

ARB Safari Snorkel VS. Mantec Snorkel

ok so yeah. just as the title says. SAfari or mantec. which do yall think work best, and what not. just post your thoughts. and experiences. thanks guyss.

Mscofield07 you may want to make this a standalone topic.

But they are just different looks. But neither one will prevent all water issues on a Discovery, remember the ECU is not water proof.

Where can you buy Mantec Snorkles I like that style better but I believe either one would work fine.

He normally gets them several times a year... but there are other place via the web you can get them, just not a cheap.
