Default snorkel for jeep cherokees and comanches

a quick, cheap way to make a snorkel for jeep comanche's and cherokee's. i was messing around with my dingo roll cage and noticed the rear section was the perfect size to make a snorkel. all you have to do is cut it to the size you want and put two holes in you body shell and find a scale looking air intake.

on to the pics






thanks for viewing and if you have any questions, i am more than happy to answer, comments are much appreciated

Thumbs up Re: snorkel for jeep cherokees and comanches

Nice work, looks good

Some of the best builds come from repurposed items or parts of items.

Looks good...but wrong side

To be fair, rc4wd got it wrong as well. Both the Safari Snorkel and airflow mount on the other side.

i reckon it would fit, you might have to bend the snorkel a little bit, but not much, you'll just have to try it

you're right, that exactly where i got it from, when my dad was young, he raced customer specials, and he's still got all his spares, so went through box of bits and it was the perfect size to fit on the end, anyway thanks for the reply
