Well done cj but sorry mate but I like the other one from Outdoor auto. Don't mean anything bad by that either.
Each to their own that's for sure.

Atari4x4,not sure on price but I think it will be around $400 but you will need to check. I think 4wd systems in Adelaide deal in them.
Bruce, at first I wanted it to be as clean and minimal as possible and to go straight into the guard after it came down the A-pillar but that would have meant two more unnecessary 90 deg bends impacting on the airflow so in the end I figured as long as it flowed as well as it could and still hug the guard it was the better outcome. The big thing is that there was a local company willing to develop a product in ABS plastic for a vehicle that is no longer in production and provide it at a cheaper price point than the alternative fibreglass snorkel from Taiwan(?).
