Fiancee bought me a SNORKEL

[crbnunit]

Nice! Better keep her locked up! I have the same snorkel and can tell you they are very tough. The screen in the intake will take a hike with the first limb impact but the rest is indestructible. Mine came off a race truck that rolled and I have TRIED to tear it up without success.

Sweet. Does she have a sister? Even like a chubby kind of slow one?

So you are basically looking for a female version of you?

Well, heres how it went in,

First held up the snorkel, to get an idea of where to place it.

Then marked the hole, drilled a 1/2" hole and used a jigsaw to cut it out.

After this, I measured and drilled holes for the 4 studs that hold the snorkel to the fender. I then painted the cut edges, and bolted up the snorkel itself

Inside the fender there is a 90 degree elbow, and a flexi-hose that runs down the inside of the fender.

All the kit comes with is the 90 degree elbow (that attaches to the snorkel itself) and the flexi-hose. I then proceeded to Home Depot and picked up some 3" ABS pipe, 2 - 90 degree couplers, and a 3" drain connector.

Before this all, I took the stock airbox apart, and cut off all but the main duct, and sealed all of the seams with plastic weld, and black silicone.

I then mocked up everything, and using ABC cement, sealed it up.

Then connected it to the flexi-hose with plastic weld and finally with black silicone.

Keep in mind I plumbed all of this in while RETAINING the stock INNER FENDER.

Then secured it all in place, and started to put it all back together.

At this point, I bolted the inner fender back in place and put the airbox back. I used the rubber connector along with silicone (and hose clamps) to connect the ducting to the airbox.

And the view you see when its put back, if you didnt see the snorkel, you would never know.

Well, she thought that since I had bought her a ring, she would buy me some presents for the engagement, one of which is a Safari Snorkel.

dude, that is exactly what me and my wife decided to do, guess who didnt hold their end of the bargin......oh well

nice truck

 

[Blackdog455]

wooow...wish my fiance did something like that for me on our engagement last month. Instead, she wants me to sell my ranger for something newer and more reliable. pfft...woman.

 

[88_Eddie]

^
tell her you'll only sell your ranger if the money goes towards buying her cleaning supplies or a new dishwasher, that should shut her up

 

[Blackdog455]

hahaha! no that wouldnt shut her up, sorry. I would have a black eye by tomorrow.

Hey guys, not many of you know, but I recently became engaged. Shes a great girl, and likes to bring me beer and pizza when working on my truck...figured I had better put a ring on her finger.

Well, she thought that since I had bought her a ring, she would buy me some presents for the engagement, one of which is a Safari Snorkel.



I had one for my Ranger but never mounted it. I mock mounted it and I just don't like them. I gave it to a guy who traded me a bunch of new Craftsman tools.

Your truck is very nice, Bro. Like the color!!!
