Snorkel

<< < (3/3)

Range Rover Blues:
We have both these on our Rangie, the snorkel looks quite cool and helps quiet the air intake from the engine as the LPG evaporater howls.

The 2" lift is something of an aquired taste.  Because the self leveler is redundant the springs are very heavy, plus 25% front 35% rear.  It handles damn well for a 2 tonner.
You can move the shocks or fit longer ones but a 2" lift should give you 4" extra travel, not possible with standard shocks, also be careful with longer brakelines, ours are plus 3".  Goodrige hoses don't cost any more for the extra length!

UJ, yes I agree that they do have to work harder, keep them greased! biggest problem is that the front prop goes out of whack, the rear UJ ends up at a greater angle than the front, if you fit castor correction arms this only gets worse!  Also the prop is very close to the front anti roll bar.
Unless someone makes a front prop with a CV joint at the gearbox end I would recomend fitting Castor correcting swivels from Tomcat Motorsport to get the correct castor, otherwise your front tyres will wear on the outer edges and the steering might not self-centre.
