Ahh makes sense now.
Yea I have been in deep water a few times and had water come over my hood. I was Lucky to not hydro lock it. I don't buy anything for looks, that's why I am trying to find a snorkel people have used successfully
Cool. I'm new to all this Jeeping stuff and have NEVER seen a trail here in America where a snorkel was actually "needed".
But haven't you heard, it's actually for dust and dust only comes up to hood height not the roof line.
Its funny how a thread on personal experience with snorkels turns in to a thread on how you don't need one. Guess some people have wheeled every trail in America.
No kidding?? Man, I wonder if it'd help to keep dust out my 3.6L motor :crazyeyes:
LOL!! Like I said, I'm new to Jeeps and the most water I've ever driven through are small puddles after a light rain. That being said, I'd love to see some pics of the trails here in America that you've been on where a snorkel was needed. :yup:
Is this considered part of a trail?
This isn't me I just googled it

There is one trail that people call "The Cove" in TN just outside of Chattanooga. For a stock Jeep I would believe it would require a snorkel considering it crosses the TN River multiple times and one is pretty deep (picture of me going through below). How ever I think a snorkel on a JK is pretty stupid. If you think about it Id assume most electronics would be fried if it got to the point of need it.
This is also a picture of a fellow member on 37s going through.

Bad ass shots!! I've heard of this trail and it looks like fun.
I have seen guys get into really deep water to the point where some of the electrics on the Jeep failed. The craziest one was the wiring in the seat belts. That being said, a snorkel was still NOT needed.
If you didn't extend the breather tubes for your axle you might have gotten water into them. I'd look into a diff fluid change. If you have a manual and shifted, you could have gotten water into the trans.
Water crossings suck.

What would not be funny would be to promote somebody making an uneducated purchase that results in them destroying their vehicle.Its funny how a thread on personal experience with snorkels turns in to a thread on how you don't need one. Guess some people have wheeled every trail in America.
