I got bored and decided to fab a snorkel. Just wanted to see what everyone else thought. Might be willing to sell at the right price.


Any suggestions are welcome.

That thing is sweet! Looks super clean and tight. Nice build!
 






The X looks funny with the small tires but i like the snorkel. Might have to lower the head a little.
 






here's a pic with the mud tires.

Nice I Like It , Is that all Exhaust Tubing ?
 






Its 16 gauge galvanized 2 3/8" tubing. It was being sold as metal fence post.
 






Nice , how hard was that to weld and clean up for paint ?
 






I work with metal a lot. So, not to hard. I just didn't like the plastic look. I made the top out of 20 gauge sheet metal. Now for bumpers:D
 






Sweet , Yeah once i get all my metal work tools Id like to make my own bumpers sliders , interior cage and maybe even exo cage after i learn how to do anything
 






I also had a 91 navajo. I miss that thing.
 






Ive Loved mine since 2004 !
 






What size tires are those?
 






q thou....is that pipe not a little to small for air flow?

does look nice and clean thou

The tires are Goodyear MTRs 33 12.50 15's. I love these tires.

The snorkel tubing is bigger than the exhaust tubing. I figured it can only take in what it can put out. It didn't seem to make a difference. I thought the 3" looked funny.
 






that pipe is way to small,the min should be 2.5'' and really should be larger with the added length.but looks very well built and clean
 






be careful hitting water at speed. Personally I tend to get a lot of water right in that same area. thats why I ran my intake to inside the cab.
