Sorry for not replying, I didn't have any cell coverage at the campsite. Snorkle is insurance, cheaper than a motor and besides it looks cool LOL.

Snorkels are to new wheelers what lights are to moths, the opposite of insurance and they look silly... Usually.

After you do a motor swap or two your opinion changes..........

No It doesn't, cause I'm referring to the feeling of false invincibility some people think they provide. Slap a snorkel on and go for a swim! Still need common sense, which escapes "some".

This discussion was less boring the first time we had it.

Thanks for the replies, by the way my first modified 4X4 was a 1978 chev shortbox which I purchased new and then modified. Been 4X4ing  a few years. At my age I sure don't feel invincible LOL. My XJ is my daily driver, with the snorkel I don't worry about getting a hydrolocked engine if I encounter deep water, that said I don't go looking for deep water or drive like a moron on the trails either. Once again thanks for the replies and variety of opinions.
