@@ekbergiw You could always just spray paint it black. but I think the clear look is so you can see into it and clear it of any debris without having to take the top off to look each time.
By the time you get to water crossings deep enough to necessitate a snorkel you've already fried your stock wiring and gotten water in your drivetrain components if you haven't already waterproofed those
Fail on how to drive deep water crossings not to mention the hood not being latched. Maybe a result of having to spray the engine wiring after doing a poor water crossing. lol
Snorkel will save your ENGINE from hydro-lock, but if you submerge a JK/JKU you'll be very very sorry. The electronics (and there are LOTS of them) are going to give you a ton of intermittent "odd" problems as wiring harnesses dry out and corrode, cables rusts, vent tubes (diffs & trans) flood and let water into oils, relays and electric motors (fan & HVAC) rust).... You'll never submerge a JK without a ton of side-effects.
GOT RUST? Driving your vehicle under water will greatly shorten its life. ALL air inlets need a snorkel, not just the combustion air. Here is short list of components that can not get wet: electronics, all fluid vents, all wiring, transmission vents, and any other vents. A snorkel gives you a false sense that its safe to submerge your entire vehicle.
tell me about it I build severe condition offroad vehicles for military and government use. ppl adding a engine intake znorkle to there jeep or whatever is such a fucking joke and waste of money. short list of components always overlooked by these type of yuppy offroaders when it comes to severe use builds. alternator water damage, spark ignition water damage, battery damage unless it's a truly sealed battery like Optima, electric engine cooling fan, radiator damage if not running a mechanical fan tnat can be fully disengaged, power steering system contamination, obviously trans and diff vents, brake system contamination, fuel tank evap system contamination is extremely problematic since almost all OEM vehicles have them low mounted or in a fender. the list goes on. a factory jL is good for 30 inch of depth. your snorkel can be 10 foot tall, your still only able to do 30 " or damage WILL OCCUR
@@shairozsohail1059 You can tell a jeep that has mods for the cosmetic factor that crawls malls, from one that utilizes their mods. Wear and tear is visible to an extent.. scratches, dents, paint missing, panels dented, etc.
@@DonZaloog88 I mean I wheel my jeep I understand that, I just don't see how a snorkel kit that's been "used" (i.e the jeep it's mounted on has done a deep water crossing) looks any different then one that hasn't. I'll usually see pristine rock sliders or wheels as a mall crawler but plenty of hard wheeling jeeps out there w perfect looking snorkels.
Neither of those crossings required a snorkel. Geez. Plus, if you get submersed too deep and water hits your engine computer, your engine will die. A snorkel isn't going to stop that from shorting out. Snorkels are pretty useless.
it is a choice between cheap DIY and installation by technicians who claim they can install it like factory specs while charging you an arm. Just gathering ideas, how to. Thanks.
Can you say idiot move, talk about a terrible example of deep water driving. The only great demo was what not to do. It is a shame you have so much free stuff you can just rip up your Jeep w/o caring that you ripped off your flares, I would hate to see what happened under the hood (which didn't look secured). Mental note: never let Ryan drive your vehicle!
i would want a snorkel if i had a jeep. but there must be a way to run it under the truck and have it come out the top rear of the jeep. its too ugly to be in front. looks like a big leach
Most FWD commuter cars would have made that run...., water depth was a little more than half a wheel height....C'mon, no 'snorkel' needed for that, especially on a Jeep.
Going with the rugged ridge for my build it should work with the new barricade lighbar hoop that lets you put A pillar lighting up the sides instead of on the cowel
@Kaptain Kid really turd boy, you obviously don't know jack shit about the mechanics of a vehicle. If you don't know what I'm talking about, that would explain why you failed jiffy lube college 🤔 💩🤪
You may get a little more induction noise from it, and you may see slightly cooler air intake temperatures, but installing a snorkel is mainly for its water crossing purposes. -Zach
Francisco Gonzalez if you get water into your intake it can destroy your engine if it’s enough I can’t say anything about the fuse box cause I’ve never had experience with water ruining it
I like the Rigged Ridge for the same reason, the options and where it mounts. I'll have to see if them have it for a TJ. Of all the Jeep channels I watch, I do like yours the best.
If only that prefilter wasn't so hideous I might think about it. It looks almost like an old street lamp is mounted to the Jeep
lol tru tho, they could just make the whole think opaque.
or if it was constructed with only sheet metal, two screws, and green paint.

Someone should put an LED in one, as a joke,lol

There goes my pillar mounted cube.
You’re so brave and take risks.
8:10 Lol the hood wasn't latched down! Smh
"Deep" water 😂😂
By the time you get to water crossings deep enough to necessitate a snorkel you've already fried your stock wiring and gotten water in your drivetrain components if you haven't already waterproofed those
Quinn Browne not to mention the diff breathers under the fenders
8:11 he talks about water damaging the engine and his hood pops up lmao
Will snorkels help keep water out if you go through the car wash?
I could've done that first crossing with my bone-stock TJ. Not impressed.
The last run your hood was unlocked, is that automatic? Very interesting…
Dante’s Peak brought me here
Oh look, an advertisement.
You don't need a snorkel.
Yeah, I'm smart enough to avoid obvious water in my off-road travels. Not that difficult since there are bridges crossing darn near every waterway.
its vapid toast
Need better hood latches lol
Having a snorkel isn't enough. Would be good to mention all other things you need to do to waterproof your jeep.
Please enlighten us… do you have a channel

How did he fail?
@@cricrisolares He was referring to his technique. Essentially he drove in the water the way you drive on a normal road.

Snorkels is ok to protect the engine, what about electronic, fuse box and battery????

Always funny to see super clean wranglers and 4runners with a pristine snorkel kit and a never used hi-lift mounted to the back.
why?
How exactly does a "used" snorkel look different then a pristine one?

Lost his fender
Unless you move all breathers and seal electronics along with air box no real point
it is a choice between cheap DIY and installation by technicians who claim they can install it like factory specs while charging you an arm. Just gathering ideas, how to. Thanks.
So aftermarket snorkel or aftermarket cold air intake? Which is best option for hp? Let me know
If you decide you in fact need a snorkel the rugged ridge one is awesome and quite clean.
Those fender flares look like SHIT.
AEV is the brand I would like to see tested.
What about the exhaust ?
Not a good video was not deep enough ... I could of made it threw in a 2wd thru this with no snorkel
Agreed. Snorkel wasn't necessary through any of this.
@Kaptain Kid your video is still borring
Anyone know what fender flares are on this Jeep?
Those are the RedRock Flat Fenders! Find them here --> www.extremeterrain.com/redrock4x4-flat-flare-kit-jk-j103867.html
Still gonna put it on there cause it looks cool just like everyone else
Stephen Langley haha nothing wrong with that!
@Kaptain Kid I dont do that whole mall crawl bs man mud and hills are where I live although it's a big thing where I live

River Raiders snorkle
I would buy it but damn that thing looks like a protein skimmer for a saltwater tank
i would want a snorkel if i had a jeep. but there must be a way to run it under the truck and have it come out the top rear of the jeep. its too ugly to be in front. looks like a big leach
You guys should make one that adapts to the RIPP Supercharger that is maid for the Jeep Wrangler.
Most FWD commuter cars would have made that run...., water depth was a little more than half a wheel height....C'mon, no 'snorkel' needed for that, especially on a Jeep.
Our two-door is also lifted 3.5" with 35s. That would be over the hood on most commuter cars, sorry to burst your bubble. 😂 -Zach
I have a KC Gravity Pro 6 light bar. Will these clear the bar? Preferably the Rugged Ridge
how deep water could you cross safely with the highest snorkel, and how long seals don't leak?
@extremeterrain when you going to post the snorkel video of my Jeep that you did?
If I have a Elite fast track windshield bar mounted already on my jeep, could this modular rugged ridge snorkel system with prefilter fits ?
the XHD has a unique only air allowance device. correct?
Going with the rugged ridge for my build it should work with the new barricade lighbar hoop that lets you put A pillar lighting up the sides instead of on the cowel
This is just all around embarrassing....
what about the exhaust? couldn't water get in the engine too?
Love the snorkel but why does it look like a street lamp?
Are all of these plastic, or do any use carbon fiber?
Everything went wrong in this vid 😂 ahh noo
These vids would be be much better if they didn’t play music in the background
Does it fix a right driver seat jeep jku ?
Snorkel good. No snorkel bad...hot it 🦈
bro your hook isn't even latched
How about relocating the venting tubes for the transmission and axels?
@Kaptain Kid really turd boy, you obviously don't know jack shit about the mechanics of a vehicle. If you don't know what I'm talking about, that would explain why you failed jiffy lube college 🤔 💩🤪
boy lost his fender lmaooooo
Does a snorkel increase performance or change the sound like a cold air intake does?
You may get a little more induction noise from it, and you may see slightly cooler air intake temperatures, but installing a snorkel is mainly for its water crossing purposes. -Zach
Never go fast going into deep water
Will this work with e-torque engine?
Pit junior is sweet
When need Meredith on a more permanent basis on this channel.
She already is! Feel free to check out our newer content pieces and product videos for more of her work! -Zach
@@extremeterrain I like her better.
Did you take out your back seats? 6:25
Shatzer very easy to remove rear seat from JK its made to be easily removed without tools. Just foldup unlatch pull out.
what is the point of snorkel if you still have the fuse box etc.. at the same level of the air intake that aren't water proof?
Francisco Gonzalez if you get water into your intake it can destroy your engine if it’s enough I can’t say anything about the fuse box cause I’ve never had experience with water ruining it
universe mouse plus it sucks in clean and cold air from outside not dirty and hot air from under the hood
??????
🤙
Obviously the snorkel demonstrated is KING!
LOVE IT

Eric Bauer because it's one giant commercial? I love commercials too.
Lift and tire on the maroon jk at the beginning?
Would this snorkel fit a JL?
is all air intake from the snorkel?
That was awesome. Gotta get a snorkel!
So wait, as long as your car has a snorkel you’re good through puddles? How deep can your car go?
Not above the engine
