Stuck at Cape York

Bunnings looks like a good place to start. Maybe they can do a Tradies Choice snorkel for the Grenadier.

How tempting.

@AUDIOBUS - That still seems pretty sketchy to do with the existing air induction assembly:

I thought that this is the possible cause, if you have seen the shape of the air box leading to the filter box you'll understand that it has little chance of draining out.

Anyone can see, the various RAI are posted here by KristinaM, not exactly tight fitting craftsmanship. There is a bit of seal around the RAI - not what I would call watertight by any stretch:

@KristinaM Yup. I agreee. As mentioned, poke holes in the idea! All I was suggesting was, if a CIPP (or other) type of liner between the outer RAI and the inner air box was cheap enough to do and simply gained someone time to correct for poor judgement or an accident, it might save an engine. It's not meant as a replacement for something like the GrenX product.

Is there anything they don't sell these days?

The correct size bolt or nut you went there for?

 

[TheDocAUS]

The RAI has two advantages over no intake, besides the air being drawn from a higher position.

The snorkel has a raised lip that loosely fits into the fender opening (top arrow). Second, around the raised lip is a seal, not a great seal, but better than no seal (bottom arrow).

So the odds of the cars with a RAI were better than the one with no intake, when crossing that river. But I would not have crossed that river at that depth with the OEM RAI, period.

The RAI is upside down in this image.

The GrenX snorkel and sealed airbox for the Grenadier has the following structure:

Timber section for that cheap 4" lift?

Flip it 90 degrees for optional 2” lift

I have been wondering where to put this to a good use and after reading on here, bingo and the light came on. Also

Tazzieman can now measure his lift.

I was about to say BDSM stuff , but then realised they do.

I had to look that up Tazzieman. I must have led a sheltered life. You are an encyclopaedia of information.
