    Holy smokes! Christmas morning and we are all on TW arguing about snorkels!

    Merry Christmas everyone.

    I wouldn’t go deeper than this in my truck, and at this depth, no snorkel required. Dust? I dunno, driven lots of dusty roads with no problems with stock air box, filter, and intake.

    I think we can convince ourselves of anything to justify a purchase. Myself, in North America, I would only install a snorkel if you think it looks cool, which is fair. Otherwise, you are likely just de-valuing your truck by whacking a hole in the fender.

    Not too familiar with AEV the quick google search showed a jeep snorkel and it looks like a big black elephant trunk just like the rest.

    Just amazed people will actually cut into their cars to install this that's all. If you need it I guess I can see it.
