Default H3 Snorkel?

I just noticed this photo on the Tough Country website:

Name:  H3 Snorkel.jpg
Views: 12590
Size:  63.0 KB

I fired off an email to sales inquiring as to whether this was just a one-off mod for the Bully H3, or if they had any plans to sell a production kit. Has anyone else attempted to add a snorkel?

That engine compartment must have had a TOTAL makeover because the normal air feed is from the right fender area...

The snorkel looks cool, but I would prefer it on the opposite side where the intake is.
However, forget the snorkel...
I want that front bumper with the winch assembly!

Snorkel looks kinda lame. Especially if it's non-functional.

Exactly...for that truck, I'm sure the air intake is on the driver's side and the snorkel is functional. That's not an I-5 under the hood.

Got an email back from a guy at Tough Country - they didn't do the snorkel but he's going to track down the company that did.

From what I understand, a snorkel on a Gas engine will not increase the "submergability" of said vehicle. It does however reduce dust intake and bring cooler air to the engine. On a diesel engine you turn said vehicle into a submarine. So it may look gey to some, but to others it could provide more proficient air intake and great looks.

Not sure I agree with this. Water typically gets into the engine through the intake. If you can raise the air intake, you can go through higher water than without (but watch out for the breather valves for your differentials and t/c). The entire air intake system needs to be sealed, but it will increase the submergability, and most important give you a higher margin of stupidity when going through deep water to prevent hydrolock.

If you are really careful in your waterproofing, you can fully submerge the engine and still have it run just fine as long as the air intake is above waterline.

True, forgot about that. It's all solid state, so at least it will dry out & probably work again I remember in the old days putting a plastic bag w/duct tape over the distributor on mud runs to make sure it didn't short out. Then I graduated to silicone. I used to have a 325i and BMWs were known to have their ECM short out going through car washes!! Let's hope hummer has done a better job of protecting parts against water...

That looks great! It needs to be on the other side though like was said.

I've seen guys run their breather tubes into the snorkle. That way the tranny, axles, t-case, ect all get fresh air just like the engine does when under water. Smart move if you ask me.
