Snorkels

[DBT]

A not uncommon topic for Perenties, but info is spread all over. Much of it in the "What did you do on your Perentie ..." as a few of you have gone down the DIY path - with impressive results.

For those of us who are less capable wrt parts fabrication (and maybe also don't have LR OEM budgets), It would be good to summarise the options here.

Of interest to me are the 6X6 rear facing intake extension things. Not a full snorkel in the traditional sense, but I totally understand their function after seeing water wash over my bonnet and splash into the intake grill, causing me immediate chest pains. (no adverse result, but is now keeping me awake at night with a "snorkel to top of list" mantra going on).

Would welcome all discussion and advice on Snorkels for Perenties.

Thanks All.

Yep, I'd be keen to see where we can get them too (the rear facing ones I mean)

The rear facing type is made from similar material to a Safari snorkel from what I can tell.
The design allows the windscreen to fold down still, although I haven't tried it yet.
NSN 66-139-0075.
I haven't poked around underneath to see how it connects to the intake hose.

Here's a pic I snapped of one of the wrecks at Minto.



Not the most waterproof of designs, unfortunately

[isuzutoo-eh]

That's more or less what I expected. Nothing that a whole lot of sealant can't improve.

I haven't tried land rover, but the part number is BYG2029

I am planning on making mine out of 4“ intercooler piping with black silicon joiners and a Air ram from the local truck supplies store.

If it turns out looking worse then it does in my head then I'll probably get the pipe welded up and painted.

Other options include running two safari snorkels, but that would cost a bit.

Its all on page 226 of the RPS. I can't copy it at present.

Here is the parts drawing which might help.

G'Day Dave.
If you decide to go for a properly sealed 'integrated' option. KLR Automotive are about to release an adapter kit for the Mantech snorkel.
Not 'Mil-spec' but still looks good.
