Snorkel Wars

[overlander]

One of my faves and best snorkel argument movie ever. That movie also inspired my "rule of life #134": Whenever presented with option of getting in a HMMVW or a 2WD passenger van when evacuating a natural disaster-always get in the HMMVW.

One of my favorite movies P.S. I have had mud in my air box so to me my snorkle is priceless. It will also save me $$$ for every time I hit the trail having to replace my filter.

I think that they look dorky. There, after 42 pages I said it. I'm not ignoring or discounting or even discouraging their usefulness in the right environs, but THEY LOOK DORKY. They make a truck not in those environs look like a dorky poser.

Hot Dogs are properly only ever eaten with bbq sauce and nothing else.

Well there you go... finally conclusive empirical evidence -- "they look dorky." From a catsup-derived sauced weiner-eater, no less; point proven.

Nope, I said snorkels look dorky. And nope, it's just my opinion, like every other one posted here.

That's Hebrew Nationals, not merely "weiners". Anything less is not worth the trouble.

I'as just kidin' 'ya. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, even those voluntarily living in a nanny state.

Voluntarily lives in nanny state;
thinks snorkels "look dorky;"
eats Hebrew National wieners with barbecue sauce;
embraces hallucinations;
expresses personal misguided opinion.

Definitely sounds like seditious terrorist behavior. IP address reported to DHS. Enjoy Guantanamo Bay -- they have BBQ sauce, too.

^^^^^^ 'at boy plays rough!

How does God make tea??

What about Nathans dogs?

Snorkels look industrial, not dorkey

Did you specifically wait until page 42 to make your proclamation?

I've said it before in this thread, and I'll say it again. Chicks dig snorkels. :victory:

You may call them dorkels, and I do agree that sometimes they can be poseur statements. I knew a guy who put one on his Discovery and for the next few years he owned the vehicle, never actually hooked it up to his air box. He did off-road his vechicle, at least. However, as a guy who has twice had expensive damage (one MAF sensor, one hydrolocked engine) due to not having a raised air intake, I'm happy to have mine now. If you have one and you use it, you still have to park it somewhere, and that somewhere is generally going to be near your house. You may actually use your vehicle in a variety of environments, so it may end up some time at a mall. That doesn't make you a poseur.

snorkel = win

hydrolocked 22re = lose

I like the less dorky snorkels that conform the opening to the roof line. The UZJ100 has one available in this style. If there was such a thing for the XJ I'd buy one.

I'm mobile so don't want to scare up a picture of what I mean currently.

 

[LaOutbackTrail]

I like my dorkel snorkel....

Considering the air intake is in the fenderwell of the Montero............... Dust and water intrusion? No thanks.

 

[crazyeyez]

Better look out, that little spider might get sucked into the air filter and plug it up! :ylsmoke:
