Do you get to dress as a Clown when you drive your vehicle, if you don't then you should.

I thought I could fit a pair on the rear spoiler to match the 7" pair of chrome exhaust tail pipes this thing has!!!

But why is it so long? and why have you run it through the wing top when the wing side is where it fits, and can be made perfectly watertight. I just dont get it at all.

Each to their own, but I too would love to know why it needs to extend way above the roofline, meaning that it will be dry when the rest of the vehicle is completely submerged.
You know something about 2012 the rest of us have only seen in films? 2001 TD5 110 DCPU in Bonatti Grey |

Have you honestly taken a fairly large hole saw to the bonnet of that 11-plate range rover sport???

If you look at the photo again I think you will see he is holding it in place. If not, how on earth do you open the bonnet.

It looks like a complete kit from the beach landing variant of the Wolf used by the Royal Marines, which are designed to drive comletely submerged. The vehicle has lots of other modifications too, including a variety of rubber sleeves and bags that fit over the instruments and a large roof hatch. Presumably, Royal Marine training includes learning to hold your breath Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?

On Defender WOLF, there is no hole in the wing side panel so there is no way to fit a snorkel on the side of the wing. The wading line for a WOLF Waterproofed vehicle is half way up the windscreen but to allow for sea swell the snorkel is higher to cope with the odd wave. Also the smaller pipe is to allow for all axle, gerabox and engine breathers to be piped up to the snorkel top. Interestingly the large canister is not a filter but is a large cyclone unit which helps the air flow into the airfilter which is under the bonnet Personally I like the look but agree that it is a bit tall. My plan is to cut the snorkel down by about 4 inches and re attach the top canister. When driving off road in tight places, this snorkel also does not make the vehicle any wider and cannot get damaged as a result of side damage. Still it has been a talking point? OTHER RAIs ARE AVAILABLE!!!!!!!! Chris BOWLER ( Sad military spotter) |
