you may want to turn the snorkel intake around so it faces backwards if you are going to be taking on big water like that. Just less of a chance of this happening.


If your going to go under water, may I recommend the latest in scuba gear.

You can not do that with the River Raider snorkel. I can with the AEV.

I doubt that even turning it around would stop that type of splash from having some water enter the intake. Tim just needs to learn that OCCASIONALLY, the word 'no' is an appropriate response in determining the limits of his Jeep. Glad its all okay Tim. We WILL see you on the 30th, pal.
