Yeah the 'Mogs that I 've seen all had huge snorkles and of course insane
ground clearance. They rock!
Saw one navigate Tellico trails in Western NC last year, there was not an
obstacle it wouldn't take. All the wheelers' jaws were just dragging on the
ground watching it.

Air intake problem on Gen II? Is this something I'm not aware of? The
Trailmaster kit came with longer diff breather tubes, is there something else
I need to upgrade?

Not that I want to submerge TOO deep, just make the occasional trail river
crossing, I do have cloth seats and carpet still!

As for submerging... doesn't it use a snorkel for the air intake? I could

be wrong, but I've seen this in Four Wheeler magazine. In fact, Jason is

adding some tubing to our '95 to the axel breather so that we can get into

slightly deeper water as well. The FABM is on it already and has fixed the

air intake problem on the '95. I'm glad they fixed that on the GEN III, but

I still don't want to be completely submerged. There are limits on my

insanity :) >>
