Caught the Bug
Well now that I'm officially transplanted to Ft. Lauderdale/Miami and found a jeep club, it looks like I need to prep for bottomless mud and deep, deep water.
I've already extended my axle breathers, but they said I need to to the trans and x-fer case, and not only extend them, but put a couple of loops in the line for solid insurance water won't drop into the lines.
On to snorkels. I don't want to hydrolock my 3.6. There's a million snorkels, do any of them work? I like the design of the river raider, but I'm running a painless wiring trail rocker and not sure if I'll be able to move the battery over 3" without having major issues. Rugged Ridge looks okay, but I saw a sub-par review on youtube about it- mostly poor fit and a large portion of the tubing goes way down low and fills with dirt/mud. There's the AEV. Or maybe there's some magic trick I can do under the hood to help keep water at bay?
Thoughts?
