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.

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

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.

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.
