They’re hideous. Just disgusting looking. Like a genital wart on wheels.

Houston/Galveston drainage is a nightmare right now so it honestly ain't too frowned upon around here. Floods every time we get a quarter inch ever since Harvey wrecked everything

I work with a guy who is trying to find a ride to go hunting his weekend because he doesnt want his jacked up 4x4 to leave pavement. Why buy it if you ain't gonna use it?


Oh...having the 70k truck put some financial strain on him and his wife. They aren't exactly rich.

This right here. I see guys around north Georgia all the time with snorkels. 99% of their off-roading are forest service roads that might have big rut in the road. Even the ones that wheel it’s mostly rocks or power line trails that have shallow creeks

I had a guy a few weeks ago insist I get one because it would “look awesome”

Every time I read "hideous" I hear the lady in the the "Jake-from-State-Farm" commercial.

"Well, she sounds hideous!"

Wish I had one during Harvey. Water was up to my arse on 40” tires. I was launching boats in the neighborhood.

Nice thread rondo.

You got time on your hands with the suspension.

Good to see you’re doing something constructive with it.

PS: Thanks for abandoning us.

Got a XJ and put water to the bottom of the dash. Wished I had one on it that day. Cold water on your lap sucks.



Wouldn't have helped that water on your lap, but it would keep your engine from hydro locking itself to death.

I don't own a snorkel, but one day my jeep will be my beater instead of my daily driver. Then, it shall have one. Also doubles as a legitimate cold air intake.

Extremely douche without a doubt. However, you'll have some snorkel owners disguised as white knights that will say "its douchey to be insecure and care what other people do with their money"
