I started my hidden snorkle this afternoon. Got the idea from l2en from back in the day. Got everything mocked up, tomorrow I will glue, silicon and paint and make it look nice.

This isn't a full time snorkle so your truck doesn't feel bogged down. So I can run regular or close it and run through the snorkle.

Sorry for the crappy cell pics

Picked up a 3" gate valve

open

closed

modding the air box

had to cut another hole in the side and trim down the gate valve
open

closed just running through the snorkle

Behind the fender from the intake

up higher back into the engine bay

then running up into the cowl for a hidden snorkle


I will get better pics when I finish it up

 

Looks good! I like the valve.

 

the cowl so like..if you ever have a wave wash over the top of your hood it'll roll straight into the tube? Just askin cause that happens to me. Waves over the hood.

 

I have a downturn under the cowl

 

Is that in case you drive into a swimming pool? Cause I've never seen a puddle in Midland lol

 

when it rains here the streets flood, then you never know when you find a creek to cross haha

 

 

Lmao I'm just giving you crap, looks good man.

 

been wanting to do the same thing ever since I hydrlocked my motor
but I was going to get one with a cable so i could open and close it from inside the cab
and may be bring the intake threw the fire wall in to the cab some were may be put a valve on that end also
so you wouldnt have to hear it sucking all the time...lol

 

Lol it looks like a great idear! I really need to do something similar to mytruck

 

did you forget were in the middle of the desert?
edit: the monsoon a couple months ago didnt count

 

I didn't even get to see any of the "monsoon" because that is when I went to europe. Dry when I left and dry when I came back haha

and Koyn lives in the same desert and hydrolocked his motor and I got a few friends that have hydrolocked theirs too. You never know

 

nice!!

 

wow.. nice idea! looking good

 

your pictures suck. how do u expect me to copy this with pictures like that?!

lol

 

Nice! Been wanting to do this too.

 

I said I was going to take better ones, gah

 

good!

 

Go take better ones NOW. I wanna see this and where it comes out.

 

so whens the better pics coming?

 

uploading

 

all glued in




painted up to make it not so noticable

pics of the snorkle, oh yeah it's hidden haha

 

wait.. where does the other end go??! as in where is it sucking air from? i wanna see that!

 

right there at the cowl, sounds pretty sweet sucking air

 

Not what I expected at all. Cool idea, but it doesn't seem like it would give you much more advantage than the stock box. I know it's a little higher, but not much.
