Waterproof snorkel?

[Kruegerruda]

On our off-road tour in Greece, a Jeep JLU ruined its car in a water crossing. Is there already a waterproof snorkel for the Grenny?

There is not, but one additional concern is that while the engine may be getting dry air from a sealed snorkel, you have lots of other components (wiring/control modules/door seals) that are not intended to be submerged in water

Especially on a petrol vehicle!

I know. I've made my Defender fit for Iceland and want to go there again with the Grenny. I can protect electrical components with appropriate spray, so the 80cm should be safe. But a little more protection for unforeseen circumstances is useful in Iceland. And without a snorkel, it can be problematic in some situations.

The Aussies also have water passages!

The door seals were amazingly waterproof and dustproof!

Looking at the engine compartment, I'd never be confident I saw all I needed to see. The raised air intake and other plumbing, I'm pretty sure that could be made to be sufficient.

Where are the snorkels for the Grenadier? Or, has anyone come up for a way to waterproof the snorkel wannabe looking high airbreathing filter that really is not needed for 90% of North America. A real snorkel is much more beneficial in the USA.

Three are available in Australia, all expensive. Unaware if they fit LHD cars.

It is a good idea to use a water dispersant on these components, if doing a water crossing, to reduce the risk. It reduces the risk, it does not eliminate it. Something like INOX or WD40.

Use a product that is safe for electrical components and will not damage rubber or seals.

Agreed. If wading is inevitable a proper soaking with WD40 is a sensible precaution.
Don't mess with aerosol cans, this is what you need
