    Thanks Hunty,

    The snorkel cost $555 delivered from Jeepkonection. Its an easy DIY install will need about 2-3 hours if u want to do it. Best part is its a very clean, simple and non messy design with absolutely no pipes etc running thru the engine bay. Only thing u cut is the bonnet and no need to cut fenders, Firewalls etc. Just installed my new Quad foglight Mopar bumper this morning. Hope u noticed in the pics.

    Looks great mate… Now we need to head back to Rivo and give that gigantic water hole another go since you now have scuba gear

    Hau Mani, haven't seen you for a while - I remember your Wrangler when it was 100% stock. Taking shape nice now. When are you gonna come on one of the trips so we can catch up again? Can you go to The Great Golden Eagle's Watto-wander-about?

    Hey Craig

    Sorry mate I am working that weekend so cant attend Wattagans. My last trip was Ziggy in January. Unfortunately I had to pullout of the last three trips to Lake Lyall, Ziggy and Bylong. If everything goes alright I will be attending the Stockton trip next month. And hopefully more rock hopping trips too.
