I posted on Difflock too and had a few replies, but I thought I would post here too.
After crossing a number of fairly deep ( 4 - 5 foot deep ) rivers and puddles, i think a snorkel is in order. so far, we have nor stalled out or even dampened the airfilter so we are going to quit while we are ahead and get a snorkel fitted.
Can anyone recommend a good supplier ? or is anyone else thinking of getting one we could get a bulk order ?

I could buy some to sell through the BigJimny shop, I would suspect the dollar rate and import tax would do some damage to the price, should I enquire?

suppose it could be worth it if a few people want one.
My husband travels a lot on buisness, but im not sure he could bring one of these back on a buisnes trip.

I was looking for a snorkel for mine too, but I have decided to go down the cheaper route of home made. We do a lot of laning and stuff gets ripped off, smashed, dented etc in some of the gnarly lanes we like to do. A few other off roaders I know have used plastic drain pipe and elbows with bonded joins and made a good job of them so they don't look cheap and nasty and fit tight to the body. If it gets broken then its only a few quid for a new bit of pipe from B&Q as opposed to over a hundred quid for a propper snorkel.

The DIY route was an option, but I want one that looks good and is functional. Yes, I know the plastic drainpipe is just as effective but... well ..... no !

I have just had it confirmed in an email that I can supply Jimny snorkels - I will talk further with the company this week to confirm a price and will let you know so you can tell me if it is worth doing
