Hope I'm not out of place, but I thought the first reason to fit a snorkle was river fording to keep water out of the air intake under the bonnet, more specificly for deisels, bult also V8's, secondly better air on dirt roads, and last for the pose.
I first saw the ram on backwoods on Cape York '96 ('76 Rangie), suppose to stop waves running down through the throat we where told ( I am outer there if its that deep) we did it of course not to be seen as tourists, but back in '72 in old series, made it accross the Jardine without one, so I guess where I'm heading with this, mines on these days for the pose ('97 Defender) as I've only had water on the wipers & running over the door sills (Yalwal)! :twisted: :wink:
