Water blind.
I made one for my Grand with a 6x8 blue plastic tarp from Supercheap and some elastic cord.
Put some tape over the eyelets so they don't scratch, pleace over the bonnet and so the tarp drapes right down over the front of the Grand to the bottom edge of the front bumper etc. - cover lights, radiator, bumper and lower radiator bit under the bumper.
Tie the elastic cord into the four corners of the tarp and bring up to the side mirrors and tie a loop the goes around the mirrors.
The entire front and halfway up the bonnet should now be covered.

This stops water getting into your air intake, also stops crap blocking up your radiator, and because it pushes the water infront protects under the bonnet as well.

Also spray under the bonnet liberally with CRC/WD40 to protect etectrics.

Spoke to TJM today and they called safari to ask if they were making a snokle for my model jeep and they told him no they dont have one to go on this model and they wont be making one so looks like Im in you know what , out of luck. If im off road will the dust clog the air intake up without a snorkle or will it be ok. What are your thoughts.

Hey Numbnuts,
Follow the advice - blind up, spray any L.B.T's and cary a spare filter. Either a home made blind or get a Michelles Sac's one .Dust will get in so keep up your maintenance. As for a snork - there must be a few decent custom places up there that could do a stainless steel version for you. Bit of Bling Bling as well.
Instead of asking the big boys look around and talk to some of the smaller places.
Down in mexico i'd be able to give you some suggestions but up north - NFI. :)
