New design eBay snorkel

So this thread wasn't supposed to be about starting a discussion on the pros and cons?

hmmm, ok.

So I assume you must have this snorkel, otherwise you'd just be making shit up too, eh?

 

Just plasti dip it to protect it from UV rays!

 

I always thought it had something to do with WWII lol.. no idea why they're called that


EDIT: well then.

 

Not a bad idea actually. truck bed liner even.

I say that if you're going to go cheap, don't half ass it and just get some of those bendy drier vent tubes and some duct tape.

 

jerry was slang for germans in WWII, and we basically copied their design.

EDIT: I still think it's funnier to say they're named after a dude named Jerry who's supposed to fit inside.

 

Yep that's what I figured! Had to look it up to confirm!

 

*now* we've derailed this thread, lol

 

You are correct, it is not a fair comparison. Those headlights are critical electrical components that are used for safety while a tube add on to your engine intake is not.

I wonder if someone tries this product and it fits and works as described will there be a new cult following

Would knockoff Jerry cans be a concern too? Dare I say I am a fan of Harbor Freight

 

kind of hard to mess up a jerry can, just make sure it's EPA or CARB approved if you live in a state that cares (like CA).

The Harbor Freight ones are only ~$5 cheaper than most others so I'm sure they're the same quality

 

I didn’t know Jerry cans had to be CARB approved in CA. Sounds pretty serious. Learn something new everyday

 

yeah it has to do with the design of the pouring spout, so that it doesn't release excessive gas fumes into the air...sort of like how gas pumps are designed a certain way to avoid that.

 

That thread is so much fun to read. Carry on.

 

I’m guessing you’re the one that just bought one within the last hour? Kind of interested to see this

 

I emailed the seller and there is a 90 day warranty. So not much of one, but good enough I guess for the short term in case in breaks in that period of time.

 

It's not if you don't attempt to use said snorkel for its intended purpose.

 

For maybe some cleaner air on the trails behind a group and that mall crawler status

Nice @m3bassman. I’m looking forward to seeing how it works out.

I’m still trying to understand why the ARB is over $400. When it first came out wasn’t it under $300? Still, it’s plastic tubes with some hardware.

 

Of course not. I like to think of it as a leader I’m just a follower on here lol

 

Your intake it located inside the fender well. Have you actually taken a look at where the air comes in? It's a pretty sealed off location as is.

 

But you don’t get the ram air effect
