Snorkel Wars

[PirateMcGee]

Sure wish I would have had one here would have saved me thousands$$$$$...... ended up hydrolocked in about 1.5ft of water (noob driving + being dumb). A snorkel will help prevent hydrolock and in my book that's a useful tool. Electronics can dry, oils can be changed, hydrolocking sucks. For now I avoid water.

My son just asked me why that truck has a chimney. I told him its powered by a woodstove. He said "doesn't the water put out the fire?". I said that's why those German ladies are giving him a tow.

This is going to sound silly but does anybody know a kit made for a 97-03 F150, I need it for the dust and sand in the Nevada and southern Cali. If not is their anyway to fab my own so it doesn't look like junk? I can't find one on google but maybe my google-**** isn't powerful enough.

Just early last spring a friend with his 2 month old 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee on the VERY EASY Mojave trail hydrolocked his engine due to water ingestion and broke a rod. Cost to replace the engine was in the THOUSANDS... (Trail Rated my :shakin.

Sure if he had driven with the bow wake principle it wouldn't have been an issue but then again with a properly installed snorkel, that wouldn't have been an issue for him either. It wasn't the electronics or the tail pipe or the fan that got him. It was the water ingestion.

...Just more fuel for the Expo-Snob comment threads on other forums

That 'fuel' has been here longer than you, I'd say the site is doing just fine... didn't keep you from joining

Trail rated and idiot proof are two completely different concepts

I don't think so

Would you like to be the pot or the kettle?

I'm somewhat active on ~10 different forums, no where have I seen ExPo be regarded to as snobby. Are there some snobby individuals? Possibly, but do similar personalities exist in one form or another on every forum, yes, simply yes. If its that bad, tell your these supposed naysayers to quit reading. Your complaining about posts that are in some cased 4 years old. Oh yeah, your just laughing at the snobs... sounds kinda snobby

To play along with the theme, no snorkel, don't bother coming on a trip with us, its the only 'right' way


And yes, I'm being facetious. Non-snorkeled rigs are always allowed so long as they are Toyota

i agree i find myself cruising expo more and more because all the bs from over on ttora. i get into it more than i should over there and its because its the same stupid thing over and over. here people automatically search for what they need and dont expect for anyone to hold there hand. expo is not snobby. if i had to label it is say its definetly more civilized and mature than 99% of other forums

Snorkel, no, sadly this Jeep does not have one yet as they are over $400 and I have to get other things first, do I believe in a snorkel...yes, had one on the last jeep and the hood had been underwater multiple times, not a lot but then again, this is a dry state........
