Snorkel and Fiberglass fenders?

Exactly. Not everyone likes the look of snorkels but they are pretty cheap insurance. I'd much rather drop $350 on good snorkel than a few grand on a new motor.

 

I say the snorkel is more important than the fenders. You said you might do SAS later...so skip the fenders and save for that.

 

Snorkels look awesome IMO...

lets talk about doing one - I want to put a snorkle on my truck but with glass fenders there isnt much option other than building it yourself. I'm in the bay area - something you are interested in doing?

 

uh oh - im in the wrong forum - I have a 2nd gen.

 

you referring to this guys?

Or.. works with stock or fiberglass flares.

 

French it in would probably look the best (and less likely to get snagged on something), but would be a bit difficult and easy to screw up IMO. Only thing I can think of is slowly heat and bend the one you have until it fits against the new fender, similar to what is done in the link posted earlier (remaining flush however).

 

Thank you. Someone had to say it. I feel like an off-road vehicle looks naked without a snorkel.

 

If you can afford them.... these would be sick http://www.rcvperformance.com/

 

I would call ARB and ask them about the snorkel. Thats who made yours right man?

 

im not a fan of the glass fenders. and if i had the choice of an SAS or LT, i would definitely SAS that shit.

 

My plan is to cut and french in the snorkel when i mount fiberglass. The major issue is how much that snorkle will stick out from the A pillar. Too keep it clean im gonna keep it tight. Basically make a template of the snorkle shape trace it on to the fender start cutting from the bottom up and slowly working away till the snorkle sits flat and is recessed into the glass. Once you have the hole cut make a new flat for the snorkle to mount to. brace the flat recessed section apply cloth and fiberglass sand and bondo then send to your painter or do the paint your self. There is a good fiberglass forum out on the web with some good info i just forget the name.

I think its gonna look better than with a regular fender

 

Thanks - looks like i will go the cab route. much easier and cleaner

 

any update on this Jerry? Let me know if you need a 2nd gen to help with a prototype. I have glass now

 

he quoted me over $500

im most likely going to go this route - into the cabin:

 

$500?

in cab is interesting, but like someone else said, won't that be loud inside the cab? Curious to see more pictures of this. I'd need to have so I can swap the stock airbox in there for smog checks.

 

feedback from people who have done it is its quieter than a K&N under the hood. yeah some noise under WOT but cruising its barely noticeable.

Plus at $20 in parts - its effective and cheap!

 

yea let me know when you tackle this. I might have to do it at the same time. I'd probably go with thinner platic than that pic so I don't have to shave off what he did
