Default Homemade Snorkle...must See

Well as I promised many..We did it....

What you will need:
8' PVC pipe (2")
5' industrialvacuum hose
two 45 degree pvc fittings
one 90 Degree pvc fitting
two 2" rubber couplers
one 3" -to-2" ruber coupler
some metal strap
small anlge bracket w/ 4 screws...

Job itself...Not bad...... Did notice off line accelaration is much better....
What it took was Ryan, Jon, Elijah(SP? JungleRR fience), me and a lot of B.S.ing....Well today we installed new lights, snorkle and seal sunroofs from leaking...... Feel free to ask any questions....We still have finishing touches to do!

Daway..... To answer your questions... The RRC takes less of everything... All I need is
4' PVC
two 45 degree elbows
one 90 degree elbow
and iff I go fancy....
2 rubber couplers...
Not to mention there is no need to remove fenders or anything else....When I get time I will post up the pics!

I done did my snorkel this past weekend!!!

i love it to the max!!! Took me and my buddy about and hour and a half to do, and love the results.

I tested it out earlier today, going througha pond behind a K Mart here in Lima, it was awesome, I impressed a few people as they thought I would never make it through. I took camera phone pics, but dropped the whole phone in a mud puddle. LMAO

If it wasn't for the snorkle, my air filter would've been soaked in mud water, so I know it works. i will post pics this weekend. I had friends to get drunk with this week after class, so I haven't been on line much. LOL

Cool beans
