I'd likely put one on my hemi before this truck. It's kind of useless with the high flow air flap in the airbox. It's not really a sealed setup like the hemi would be. I never expect to be in water 4ft deep either, and that's about where the box is currently. I also keep a replacement filter in my boxes if ever needed.
Umm.... Yeah... But it's a snorkel. Dude, do you even overland? lol

For what it's worth, you could easily seal the oem location of the box that isn't used by the snorkel and remove the little arm that flips between positions. Boom, sealed box, and snorkel for cool points.

Plus, snorkels look cool, water crossing or dusty roads aside.

We got back today from our 5 day Arkansas trip. Was a ton of fun, and we really had a blast. We spent alot of time scouting new areas, finding the coolest camp sites the area could provide, and finding some amazing falls. The Majority of this trip was focused south of the Ozarks in the Ouachita National Forest, and it didn't disappoint. Our next 10 day trip to Arkansas will be in July, and will be north of the Ozarks.

I also had a failure of the linkage between my 4x4 selector and the transfer case, which had me under the truck manually shifting us into 4Lo a few times when needed, but all in good fun, I'll make a better linkage soon.

LOL 🤣

It was definitely a hoot! Boys are already talking about the next trip. If it wasn't for band camp, football camp, church camp, tennis camp, and strength and conditioning camps this summer I'd love to go out and just go place to place. And we may do that one day. But they have commitments. We will still get 4 outings this summer between them though, and are looking forward to it.

Yeah that makes it difficult to get away. I miss that time with my kids. Now they are in college and on their own for the most part. Enjoy that time while it lasts.

As a father who wishes I would have spent more time with my children - I suggest you cancel all the camps and create memories they will cherish long after you have passed.

Sure, I went to a few camps when I was younger but the times I remember the most are spending time with my late father, hunting, fishing, exercising, etc. I am sure I learned a few lesson at a camp here or there, but I remember virtually everything my father passed on to me - because he loved and cared for me. Just saying...

You don't have to cancel the camps. Just go to the camp and be a part of it. I was always there and sometimes they asked if I wanted to help and I did. It was great and I wouldn't trade that for anything. Obviously there are multiple sides to every topic/decision and I wasn't trying to be argumentative. Just saying it can be done, even when the event is led by a 3rd party.
