Anyone here using a snorkle on a bronco II? I mean like the ones you buy like a safari snorkle? Is there any bad things with running a snorkle? Wouldent rain or water/snow get in it? Any pictures? Who makes them?

 

You can fabricate a snorkle out of pvc pipes and fittings(my bud has a jeep with one). to keep water out, connect a 'U' section to the top with mabey chicken or screen wire on it to keep critters out. make it at least to top of roof and secure it good with brackets. make sure its attached and sealed to the airbox also, if not your defeating the purpose. use at least 4inch pvc tubing/fittings .make sure all your wiring etc is well water-proofed and the floor boards and body is sealed good too. spray-on under-coating in multiple layers I'd do. have fun!!

 

Theres a tech article on the therangerstation.com called PVC snorkel for Gen I and II, I really like the look of it and hope its what your looking for.

 

i think i saw the artical, but why does it come out of the drivers side? the intake for the 2.9 is on the pass. side. also i have a spotlight mounted on the drivers side pillar, so i would have to have it on the pass. side.

 

Yes,, the snorkle will have to come up the right side either through fender and angled back or up thru hood and angled back, depends how youd want to do it. maybe fabricate a bracket to hold it steady to the 'A' pillar or roof/ also. but make sure its got a 'U' or 'L' shaped end to keep water and critters out. just my ideas,,, regards Larry

 

It gotta be the pvc pipes

 

PVC?? not too necessary,,easy to cut and glue together though. you could use flexible exhaust pipe also,, seen that done. use stainless or aluminized though.

 

Also,, flex pipe may suck water,, wrap it with good ole duct tape. :-)

 

If waterproofing is your main goal (over looks) a snorkel is going to be the last step. Be sure that the distributor, ignition, and all other electronics are waterproof first. Don;t forget about the breather tubes for the axles,trans, and transfer case either. If you submerge your truck without waterproofing these things you could be really screwed.

 

I know of an ARB Snorkel For Your Ranger I don't know if it will fit the Bronco II. Volant also puts out a snorkel kit, but again I don't know if they make one to fit a Bronco !!
