yeh makes sense.. the reason i was looking at the surf was due to the lower height so i can have roof racks and load timber/wheelbarrows on top. Having the pajero at the moment with racks it sits at 2.05M and only just fits into some car parks in the city (and some have a height of 2.0M). the old ...

Benifits of a Snorkel?

Im in the hunt for a new beast like a 80's cruiser or a 90 prado. (nh pajero just doesn't have the pull) Im only looking for a LPG car and have seen a number that have snorkels. My (very limited) understanding is that a snorkel is used so the car can drive and not take water into the intake. for a ...
