Ok give some input...I can either get a locker or a snorkel...The locker would be real nice to help not get stuck and the Snorkel would be nice so I dont get water in air box again...I wish I could get both right now but...I can do one right now and the other in a couple of months or so ...Please give some ideas on what and why it would be better first...havin hard time with this one so I leave it to my friends to choose
Thaks guys

Locker, but if you have a problem staying out of deep water the locker won't help, it will make it worse.

Locker but the only way my little Runner can more then some of the bigger 4wds is the Snorkle. So I'm torn, I'd get both.
Oh and there is thread for polls. LOL

if all else fails and you feel the need for a snorkle, visit marlin and copy toyhatsu's snorkle cos it looks GOOD and doesn't cost too much. 8th post and down (http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=5869.0)

Well you already ordered you locker which is what I would have done but I just wanted to point out the fact that the wet season will be here soon...and you already got your filter wet in the middle of the dry season! :eek:

I do, That is one of the reasons for the diesel engine. I too still need a snorkle before I can go in water deeper than 40".
Hope I never need the scuba gear though. http://orlandojeepclub.com/images/smiles/3%20Happy.gif

Tim I've been thankful of my snorkle so many times out in ONF I can't count them all. I've hydro locked the 4.0 in my old Ranger back in Az and ever since then I've always said I'll have a snorkle. At the last camp out I had the water over the hood and I had to sit there while Drew pulled me out and the only thing that I noticed the water hurting was the clutch would disengauge underwater.

You can still hydro lock you engine and have no water in oil, had it happen. Water dosesn't compress and bent TWO rods on the Ranger and the oil was water free.
