Oh, get the snorkel, you know you want it. It allows the engine to run more efficient, which uses less fuel and saves the planet.
besides, its not like they are manufactured in a sweat shop in India. It is a safety device used to keep you and your super cool bride safe

You guys are **********' awesome. Bigreen (my goodness....what could that mean?), you're on the money. Gracias.
KC, I know what you meant. But it was my own damned words coming back at me and saying something new. It's a dangerous thing, language. :yikes: I can't tell you what "I'm just out here trying to regain my feet and pounding heart" means to you. I'm glad you found something, though.
This whole thing was self serving, wasn't it? Who am I kidding? Ask a bunch of truck mod-heads and exploration freaks what they think about a snorkel? What kind of answer did I expect?
:rockon:
But it sure was fun.
And with this abstract horsehockey, fruitcake, dimwit BS about FEELINGS they might kick me out o' every 'wheelin network and turn me into a four-by-four refugee.
Let me hike up my pants, spit, and fart like the rest of 'em with a can a' beer in my hand for a good cover. No really, I'm macho. Really. See, I've got a lift and a snorkel. Put 'em on myself with the aid of 10 Michelob Ultras..
There are more than enough words on this forum about my life... Let's get back to discussing things that can get dented, broken, drilled, and welded before I let out too much.

I just had a thought. I think you will be visiting the north country soon... and there is a guy here that you and I both know, who has a hole-saw perfect for an ARB snorkel... you may want to verify the required hole size, and if it's the one, there is your divine sign... time to order it. We can install it while you are up here, using the very same hole saw that has torn its way into the chest of more than one well-traveled expedition vehicle.

Actually, all you really need is a fridge, then all of the worlds tracks are your oyster...
Its almost like installing lockers front and rear.:rockon:

BT said:Mark, love the snorkel smiley
What a shame the red truck "smiley" doesn't have a snorkel on it.To get back to some level of seriousness, the snorkel is on my short list for sure. It's affordable and all that, but I've got to go in stages. I finally got an adequte truck bed tool box and I'm ready to wire up my second battery! I believe Scott is letting me write up a build series on this truck, so I'll cover the details there. :victory:
This stuff rocks.

Yes, it all started with a chopped tail pipe. If a rock hits the tank, I presume I'll hear a THUD!, or maybe a PLONK! against the shiney new skid plate. And keep on driving...:088:
Okay, that was a little smartass, but no harm intended.
:victory:
The Mastermind of Expeditions West helped me make a skid for it not long ago, and he has all the photos. Maybe we can persuade him to share. He helped me streamline a couple details and refined the mounting a little bit, too.
AND! I was up late into the night last night finishing the dual battery installation. That was a ton of fun. Another friend helped me and also streamlined the way I had it configured. If I've learned anything, it's better to do this stuff with a little help.
