What r them things on the side for the metal things

As you know the disco has a step in the roof. Used to do a particularly rough off road place in France and there was a little section we named Dans crack

It was a V shaped gulley with a massive overhanging tree on the left. Get it wrong, and we all did, and the "step" in the roof would end up wedged on the tree = bent roof and in one case (mine) smashed alpine light.Voila, the bars are there to help the disco slide off big trees and they do work

They look unfinished at the back cos they are, was gonna continue em down the back to the bumper for more strength but never got round to it.

Southdown snorkel it rotates.

After jamming branches down it greenlaning, it was backwards from then on!

Forward ftw backwards looks gay, just empty it every so often

Forwards unless driving in heavy snow

Why? Apart from sand, which i understand.

Air "forced" down snorkel, rather than engine having to "suck" - less strain for engine (except when reversing)

I agree it probably makes little difference either way, i just see that being "best practise" but, i'll admit i'm only basing it on thoughts in my head

sideways

stops if sucking in crap like leaves n stuff when on tight lanes

will make naff all difference, a disco or fender just isnt going to be going fast enough to ram enough air down the snork for it to make any difference, its sucking way more than that around 6000 L/m @3000rpm

Forward facing looks good to me but at end of day it up to you yourself.

cartoonhead · May 23, 2013

Forward facing, twist it around if you are going to be driving through sand etc..

On my off-road disco with drainpipe as a snorkel it faces across the screen as the tyres chucks water down facing forward or back.

Snorkel. Are you backwards?

How do you like yours?

Forward facing

Backward facing

It makes no difference at all.

mushroom top

sideways facing

BoB is gay
