Snorkle

[NSW Aussie Explorer]

Hi

Does anyone make a snorkle for an Explorer?

Please let me know as us Aussies need one

Hi, I just wanted to start off by saying welcome to the site. You will find a lot of valuable resources, as well as information here, espesially with the search function. As far as a snorkle, no, there is no sort of snorkle made for Explorers, but that is not to say that you can't get creative with a snorkle made for another vehicle. No one on this site, from what I know of, has done this, but there has been talk before about a snorkle for Explorers. The consensus was that Explorer engine configurations vary so much from model year to year, that to make a snorkle that would fit Explorers all together is somewhat of a lost cause. If you do find something, let us know, I think their would be a few people who would be interested. Hope I helped! And once again, welcome to the site! Dead Link Removed

Hey Aussie,
Welcome to our, now your, Explorer website.
I too am looking for a snorkle, so I you find one or make one up, PLEASE take lots of pictures and let us know how it works. I have a question for you, since you are down under. Does ARB sell "Nitro Charger"shocks from Old Man EMU out there yet. the reason I ask is because I got my hands on a set and am doing a product review on them. I can't tell you any more than that until I finish the review, but, HINT if you can get your hands on a set, YOU WILL LIKE THEM. Dead Link Removed There are a couple of other Aussies on this board too. Hopefully you all can get together and do some 4wheeling. I would love to see some pictures and a write up of that. Dead Link Removed I know Australia is huge, and I haven't the foggest idea where you all are located, but it's something to think about. "The Aussie Explorer Run". Sounds pretty nice, eh?

I'm actually looking for one too, an idea would be to just buy one for another vehicle that has the air filter on passenger side and modify, which is what I figured I would do when I got some time.

One thing to consider too, before you do this mod, is that you will also want to raise your differential breather hoses, otherwise your fun in the water will be very costly. If water gets in your differentials it slowly eats away at the gears. Ouch. Anyway, by buying some cheap rubber tubing and two small K&N air filters you can actually create a pretty cool setup and locate them wherever you want. I plan to do this mod when I get a chance.
