    Okay today i managed to have the stainless steel tube welded to the air intake insert so i now have a piece of plate with steel tubes welded to either side . One side inserts internally to the air box, i have siliconed this in place i then installed two locating screws on the flat plate to fix it to the inner guard. The stainless steel pipe which has been squashed to mate with the flat plate and the shape of the inlet to the air filter. I drilled and cut the guard to allow the external piping to be attached. Unfortunately the welding could not be completed today the local welding shop was doing the job in between more important work so i was sidelined today. I did inspect the piping and it is of a very high quality they are to fit the location tabs tomorrow morning and i hope to install the completed pieces. I have supplied some photos of today's work. And i think a couple of thought provoking ones do you think a short snorkel would make a hit check out the photo's in the second post.

    I had thought about something like that, removable so you only fit it when you need it

    I really like the idea of a temporary set up. Have even looked at using a two way ball valve before the air cleaner with a secondary (& somewhat constricted) air feed from within the cabin. it is possible to go through the fire wall using the LH drive steering column hole.

    Obviously for limited, temporary use only. Not like we do that many deep and wide river crossings anyway.
    Hoo-Roo,

    Dave.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I now have to go and wash out my eyes!

    When PaulP38A was doing his development work, I had thought about offering mine as a development mule but then realised that nothing along the outside could ever look good so I dropped out.

    My idea was to have the hole there and put a removable cover on it, like one from a Disco or later RR

    That could then be removed and the riser fitted when needed. How to make sure the riser doesn't come loose is another issue!

    It grows on you!

    Doesn't look bad in my opinion, just different!

    Had a bloke come up to me a while back and ask why I've run my exhaust outside the front guard and onto the roof - he was genuinely concerned that I was putting exhaust fumes into the cabin :-)

    I suppose some ute owners run the truck stacks up to the roof.. You could always get a mirror made up and run the exhaust up the drivers side pillar...

    Gippslander, do you remember when 4wd monthly did that comparison, and Glen had Camilla?
