    Well, after finishing up my lift kit and rock sliders, my boredom/need to continue modding is pointing me towards a snorkel (for the intake aspects more than any water attempts) ... but after reading this thread and others, wondered if the options have evolved much in 2021? For a 2nd gen, is there any kind of a market leader that stands out or is everyone just trying to get the best deal and it doesn't matter?

    Yeah, sorry about that. Looked like some good conversation that was somewhat gen-agnostic. But good copy.

    Well if you can find a quality one for cheaper..... but safari is a good brand even if they have a huge mark up. Not sure of the other manufacturers for 2nd/3rd gens. But with there popularly im sure theres a couple.

    I picked one up from Amazon for less than $100. I got it mostly for the colder air flow, cold air makes better MPG. Only about 1-2 but when you have the extra weight, anything helps. I also picked up a 2 pack of those filter socks (

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09PFS9QT3?ie=UTF8) and oiled it a bit and stuffed it inside for the bigger stuff (bugs and whatnot) and a little more pre-filtering.

    Primary function for dust? Isn’t that what the filter is for
    Seems like primary function of “snorkel” is to be underwater. Though it takes a lot more work to get everything water tight then just buying the snorkel

    Once you upgrade to 35s, you'll know exactly what that means.
