snorkel

[blue88b2]

So i'm almost done with the snorkel. just have to plumb in the axle breathers, and put on more permanant brackets to hold it on the pillar. then it's on to electrical sealing, relocating and the search for cheap electric fans or fan.

I made it from 3" ABS plastic and premade elbows with one rubber elbow. fabing some better brackets to hold it to the pillar, it has a 3.5" u bolt holding it very securly to the fender. has a k&n filter on top and have a Atv prefilter to go over that to keep water out when it gets splashed or is raining. costed me under $70 filter included. I know it looks like it hit the door, but there is plenty of clearance. enjoy.

thanks for looking!

Looks like mine

I was going to run it straight out and add a filter on top like you did, but what will ya do when it rains?

 

[blue88b2]

Waterproof, breathable prefilter! just like on dirtbikes and atv's that's just what i did on my old Bronco II. Nice rig by the way! like it!

Thanks, its funny i just herculined my rocker panels last weekend. Looks a lot like yours now!

 

[blue88b2]

that's cool. hey, i'm looking for fans now, saw in your sig you have a pusher and puller, where did ya get them and what brands are they and size. are they enough to cool with the 4.0 radiator? thanks!

I'm not trying to thread jack but thought I'd show you guys a picture of mine. It is run beneath the fender through the stock airbox.

i want to do one on the ranger and i saw one i really liked, it looks like jim's and the plumbing runs inside the fender. does anyone know who that is or who has it. thanks

i prefer not to run out the fender, they get ripped off that way and you need to have the stuff packed to deal with it. at least mine would i like to flop around on occasion.

my hoodie is off but i sometimes have a prefilter and the hoodie though. the prefilters always get ripped off


the reason the hoodie is off is because it got tore off from laying on its side in a washout leaning into a tree. and that is with it not sticking out past the fender

That is one sweet rig, i've always liked it! been watching your builds for many years now! Looking great!

I bought them from www.lmctruck.com , their 14" flexalites. They are on the small side, but i know they don't hit the old fan mount or the core support. With those and a 4.0 radiator i have no problem keeping my truck cool.

i'm not the only one who's had water leaking on the pass floorboard from the heater box i see.

have you moved your cpu to behind the glove box?

 

[whitebassbenny]

Im thinking of doing the herculine on the sides aswell. how do you guys like it and how does it last ?? Would love to hear more about it.

Very nice truck to.
