Snorkel Install

Installing my snorkel in a couple hours - any last minute advice?

seal every damn thing with rtv, liquid latex and any other thing you can get your hands on. my truck kept running even though the airbox was under water. sorry i forgot to give you the sheet metal screws. after i sunk my truck i was thinkin 2 much about my tranny ecu that i forgot to hand those off to randy i can give u the size i used when i get home if you want. did u get the bolts that hold the snorkel to the bracket?

No worries man - Thanks for getting it to Randy

I picked up 10x1" and 12x1" stainless screws and new bolts.. Also some new nuts and other hardware since it was starting to get little rusty and crusty. I picked up a massive tube of silicone sealant for all the connections but may use that latex spray over it all later.

Hmmm...I wonder if Justin can still offer that ECU waterproofing? I can't find the video he had posted on YouTube anymore... If so, this has me thinking the tranny ECU might be a great candidate for something like that or maybe to be relocated in a small Pelican (or similar) case...

i wouldn't put it in a pelican. it needs the air to keep cool. im thinking about offering this as a service. like drive shafts, send me yours ill send you one back. i will clean them and waterproof them.

Still have to finish up the hoses and getting eveything set into place but here is the new look.. The safari snorkel has grown on me.

Truck looks great other than that ugly black thing on the wing

hahaha yea I didnt like safari snorkels at first and I still think they look funny on some trucks but I must say I dont think it looks bad on mine

I think for the darker trucks I'd go with a southdown I like the shiney snorkel like Bretts

Function over looks, it looks good and will keep you from having to buy and install another engine which makes it, kick ass! I want one.

I'll take it off your hands If you buy the southdown.

snorkel looks mighty fine on there.

Thank you sir!

Here's the airbox after I cleaned it up -- put some paint on it so the patch/jb weld would match. Going to cut the hose after the MAF, drill the hole to move airbox over and finish the airbox to snorkel hose tomorrow.

newb question, but have you noticed any increase in power driving around town with the snorkel ?

Not noticeable.. I think people hear the intake sound than associate that with more power. I guess it may be getting more air but I would recommend buying a supercharger if you're looking for power

You and Brett ought to pick up a wrench once in a while.

I already built a D2 from bone stock to taking second place at Robsonia 2 years in a row.It would also out wheel your albino turd in reverse.That is when your turd is running.Which isn't often.Now go back to dildoing your ass while watching ladyboy porn.

You've obviously never been to robsonia.. Second place even in novice is a damn good achievement.. Some of the gates were tough

WIDE OPEN and he took it! NOICE.

Loved the custom sliders and am bummed you sold them on the "old" truck. Go gettem Brett!

BTW, second or even first at Robesonia is meaningless - you know how real off-roading is done. Let's do it! No foo-foo trail riding in Lyle's woods...
