That's my question as well...what kind of "chambering" does it use to keep stuff out of your intake? (ie:rain, snow, debris)?
Just curious!

The kit comes with a rubber corrugated hose and hose clamps which, once the snorkel was mounted to the truck's outer fender, the mentioned hose was hose-clamped to the elbow (see photo) and fed through the inner fender to the factory air box, which will filter out natures elements.

I hope that answers your questions.
 
Brown Betty, or the Boneless Brwon Trout of death...

thats known as a 'Brown Betty Extraordinaire' in my neck of the woods...


maybe I should expound...

You see, a Brown Betty is when you poop in someones toilet without flushing. It is customary to hide the paper you wipe with in the trash can, or behind the toilet, so as not to interfere with the visual element of the Brown Betty.

The Brown Betty Especial is when you first close off the water intake to the tank, then flush the toilet till nothing else fills up, and drop your duece. When going to this extreme it is customary to not only hide the paper, but also turn up the heat and close the door.

Then there is the Brown Betty Extraordinaire, or the pooping in the toilet tank business. This can be done with any combination of other Brown Betty, and is best done to those you dislike only, as your friends can forgive only so many poopy shenanigans. :hillbilly:

p.s., as my friend Mart has taught us all so well, if you have irritable bowel syndrome it is sooooo cool to leave your s***ty underwear in inconspicuous places for your friends to find at work the next Monday, in conjuction with the brown betty you have left in their place of business over the weekend, with the heat turned way up. Thanks dude!:mad:
 
Rig of Mortis --- can you post a pic or 2 of a shot under the hood? how does the hose get from the left side of the stock air box to the right fender elbow??

PERFECT explanation. Could you also bless us with some additional photos of the whole thing? I'm still kinda suprised that the snorkel intake isnt pointing backwards.

looks good! pooping in your toilet tank is known as an upper tanker, for future reference.

I thought it was an "upper-decker"....

Nice write up. Michael from West Coast Cruiser installed mine, did a hell of a job and even installed the door handle (driver side). For a year I got into the truck through the passenger side.

You can't come over.
 
I always wondered about the snorkel pionting forward too, seems prone to catching stuff...

I think I read that the snorkel has a mild ram air effect, though I bet it is negligible. I believe they can be turned around without a problem for when there is a risk of mud being thrown in, and that there are 'vents' for the water to exit the system in the rain.

Only snorkel I ever drove was homemade, and it seemed to limit the intake a bit, but never a problem with it pointing forward
now that I think of it...

-umpqua, I only do that to my good friends, and know most of this by association rather than tons of experience. I have to admit though that when your friends get you enough, you eventually start to fight back.:hillbilly:
 
Looks good, nice write-up.

as to the terminology debate, I've always heard it as "upper-tanker" or "poo-thousand flushes" - just saying...


and yeah, whenever you get some under hood shots it'd be appreciated.
 
I believe his is a diesel so his airbox is in a different spot than our 60s. When I did mine I cut the snout off the factory air cleaner and flipped it oover and welded it onto the other side pointing toward the passenger fender. I'll try to remember to post some pics when I get home.

Currently, Jim from SROR is reversing the air intake on my 60’s air filter housing to the passenger side so I could mount up my snorkel. Perhaps he could post some photos of his work for the group? ;)
 
So that's the difference in a FJ and a BJ....................you guys have a hamster wheel under the hood........what kinda life expectancy do you get out of those guys?
