Default KJ Snorkel
Hi all,
I passed a Hyundai Terracan the other day on the road and noticed it had a snorkel. A Hyundai Terracan!!! Yet there is still no commercially available one for the KJ...NOW THAT IS A TRUE INJUSTICE.

Safari still have no plans for one according to my latest request (yesterday).

Wonder how long we will have to wait? Maybe a little pressure from the rapidly growing KJ fraternity might help?

Just a thought...
Gos.

I think (and I could be wrong here) that Safari are a bit lazy!

I believe that once upon a time the diesel XJ boys didn't have a Safari snorkel. So one of them worked out which existing snorkel was the closest fit, worked out how to convert it to the diesel XJ, told Safari about it, and hey-presto a diesel XJ Safari snorkel becomes available!

Probably they're waiting for someone in the KJ gang to do the same thing. There's a 5 page thread (and other miscellaneous threads) on the LOST board in the US about this. It seems that the old Toyota Tacoma (I don't even know what that is!) snorkel is the closest fit. It just takes someone with the balls enough to cut a big hole in the side of their Jeep to try it!

See;

Yeah, seen that one. Not keen I'm afraid.

Plus, his approach angle is gonna suck with that winch and bar where it is, isn't it? Not to mention that the winch is in a prime place to get stuffed up with mud and things.

Looks weird, why is the snorkel head so low? It looks like it has taken some sort of beating there...

Cheers
