Maybe i'll run some flex hose up and in through the window to see how loud it actually gets, but this video shows how loud it is and not even spooled all the way up.

So I got the snorkel finished up. The 3" smashed down into a 2" oval so there isn't a view obstruction out the back and it doesn't even stick out past the fender flare. Made a nice solid mount attaching it to the roof rack so the window can't get broken if it ever did hit something.

Thanks, I agree also but at least it's tucked in closer and functions the same and nobody can bend oval pipe anyway.

You can bend oval pipe slightly.

True, and cross rivers again without the puckering butt.

Probably, thought about it but I couldn't do the 27 degrees without crushing it and I though closer to the body the better and wouldn't gain anything being straight up and down besides looks.

New to water crossing... why is his back end up the whole time? Just buoyancy?

VERY nice rig man! I'm curious what CB Antenna you have there, I like it a lot and am tempted to put one on my rig for looks... (deaf - can't talk on CB radios)

Thanks, I got the spring mount and antenna at Radio Shack, I think it's just thier house brand and it's reasonably priced.

Thanks! Is it a fiberglass or steel antenna?

Not sure if I'm crazy or not for wanting one for appearances, always loved lots of lights 'n antennas

Had another conversation in a grocery store parking lot today, a jeep driver this time...

Stranger: Is that a snorkel?
Me: Yup.
Stranger: For the engine or what?
Me: Yes, the engine.
Stranger: Did you rear mount the engine in that thing?
Me:
