Ok granted the last time I saw conditions like that was in Iraq, and unless someone lived in the sand at glamis, there isn't much need here. My point isn't to stop people from bashing snorkles, but to make sure they are bashing them for the right reason. The idea of a snorkle for water crossing is just stupid to me, if water got up to the factory location of the intake, you're probibly already sailing away. Let the bashing continue!
x2 :huh:NRT_Chris said:I don't see how a "Dorkel" would help in the dust and sand of the desert. If that was the case desert racers would use them. In my JS my intake is ran into the cab near the co-drivers feet. This will keep alot of debris from clogging the filter and provide cooler air. I maybe missing something, can you elaborate on how a snorkel mite help?

You could see the bottom, not even waist deep. As he climbed out the window to wade back for a tow line, the shriek confermed that the lake was all fresh snow melt!
