I would like to put a snorkel on my truck, just not sure how to go about it. I was wheelin the other day and hit a big puddle causing me to suck a little water. It wasn't enough to do any damage but it has me wanting a little more protection than my CAI. Should I make one myself or buy one? Also how would I go about making one? And where can I buy one for a ranger if I take that route?

 

Here is an idea for you, I have a 4.0 but I think it could work on a 3.0 as well.

thats sick. i think im gonna give it a try. on the second page, the pic of the tube with the hood open, where does the tube go. it looks like it goes into the fire wall?

 

just goes into the cowl a few inches.

 

what size pipe did you use? and did you just use silicone to seal it?

 

Says 3" right in the top of that thread.

Here is more info

98liftedranger, i've been considering that last link for my truck but its not 100% trail ready yet so wouldn't make sense right now.

also if you are doing crossings where you'd want/need a snorkel. don't forget to extend your breather lines for the axles/tranny/tcase

 

I kinda want a snorkel because it floods alot around here...

and Vonhanson makes a good point that is often overlooked by people and can end up being a costly overlook.

 

Griggs has a lot of good info posted in this thread about what else needs to be done.

And there used to be a great thread about snorkels on this site and it was a sticky but I think it got deleted.

 

thanks adam. im gonna start working on that list a member posted in that thread. has anyone heard of someone running a snorkel through their glove box?

 

2", I don't think there is enough room for 3" & it runs fine when I switch it to just the snorkle.

Yes I sealed the box all up with silicone.

 

I've got pix somewhere of one run into the glovebox on an '89 S-10 Blazer....

 

I can't imagine getting a good air flow through the glove box

 

One of my buddies back in NY did that on his mud truck. It was a tough truck and he ran it in there for the 3 minute(ish) runs he did.
