KODIAK 4x4 Snorkel!
This page was created for those of you guys who wrote in asking about my snorkel that was in the making. I think that this clears up any doubts of my long-term projects ever being completed. *GRIN* If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
For those of you asking about materials total cost, I built it for under $40 with parts and supplies redily available at your local plumbing & hardware store.
Disclaimer: Understand by reading this page that this is only a picture guide of what you can build and nothing more. I do not have this idea patented nor do I intend to. There seems to be some real liability issues in this country and I do not wish to become another example So if (you) attempt to build this and you hurt yourself in any way, or trash your quad's engine, its YOUR own fault. LAWSUITS...BAD!
I'm not going to give you step by step instructions on assembly because I'm not an engineer. These pictures should be able to explain alot to those of you interested.
If you're looking for a more complete guide to building a snorkel for your quad, then you should Check out HighLifter's guide to building a snorkel. Good luck!
