Vsicks Pathy Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 The key word in this thread is $60. That wouldnt even cover shipping over to here. Key word here is butchered! Not to mention devalueation of your Pathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 It's hard to devalue a Pathy that regularly gets covered in mud and already has high mileage and low resale value...hehe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest packman5280 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 probably never sell my pathy, so the "devaluing" going on is when I leave it stock, and it has less value to me, due to decreased utility. besides, if I didn't hack up my truck, it would loook like everyone else's.

Harbinger Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Seeing how I bought my pathy for $450 bucks, I'm not that worried about its value either :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vsicks Pathy Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 (edited) OK, so your Pathies are worth shlt over there. Fine. But what about the people on the side of the road that point at you laughing? Do you carry with you a bag of shame? P.S. A bag of shame can be any type of bag so long as it covers your head and face. Reason being............

Vsicks Pathy Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 (edited) If you guys care less about they way your Pathies look, why not go strait up through the bonnet. You could do the job for under $10.00. Imagine how proud you all could be then. WOW! Edited May 8, 2005 by Vsicks Pathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmgar99 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 If we go up through the "Bonnet" ...P.S. its called a "HOOD" here in the real world, we would have the problem of water coming over the "HOOD" and into the snorkle! And in case you haven't got the idea, the Pathy owners here are'nt into 22" Dubs or any of that crap, were into making the Pathy an off road force to be recond with!

Guest packman5280 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Vsicks, yes we can get snorkels here. No I don't want to pay $400 for it, when I get the same effect for $60. That would be stupid. I don't care how it looks, I care how it works. And don't you have to cut a hole in the fender to put on a "real" snorkel too? How is that any different? You need to get a clue. We are here to build our trucks and share info, if you want to talk sh!t because someone doesn't build it like yours, go find someone else that thinks like you do. And seriously, if you are going to do a motor swap, why a holden? That was stupid. One more thing, how do you get a 5" suspension lift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzy Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 my thoughts - I dont care for the look of the homemade snorkel. But hey, it's not my truck, it's yours - so go wild! No need to get all riled up about it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Boy Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) Haha, I'm with Vicks on this one!!! You wanna take a good look at his Finder!!!! Its coils all round, solid front end, buick motor and the list goes on!!!!! It is BUILT!!!!!! Its common knowledge that PVC pipe is Sh1t for making snorkels from. Its way to brittle and brakes the first branch that hits it. You better option would have been to make it from Stainless. Like he points out, cutting a hole in your gaurd for somthing that is going to last 5mins off road is maddnes. Sure you have to cut a hole for the proper snorkel, but the one you cut for the PVC special will be in the wrong place. So your screwed when you brake it!!!! As for the picture some one drew of their water catch system. WTF?? That holes going to be in the inner gard?? So why don't you just leave your standard intake on?? It draws from about the same level as your drain hole. Serioulsy!!!! Siting stuck in a puddle, or river the water is going to enter the intake from that point. You havn't improved you wading depth at all, just butchered your gaurd. Now as for hat. If any of you had bothered to do any reaserch into snorkels before you decided to throw one together, or start flaming each other, you would have read that the hat on the snorkel is what seperates the water from the air. The water collects in the back of the hat and runs out through holes, the air goes straight into the snorkel. Five mins on the airflow site and you would have read that. No sh1t about not spending the $$ on a special hat for your hame made wonder, get a section of larger diameter PVC pipe and use that. So this is what this site has come to. Bagging people because their rig is better than yours, or they use British terminology to describe things. Take a good look at your selfs. Its Pathetic. Pissed off. Pete.

Guest packman5280 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 pretty sure it was vicks that started calling everybody out on their rigs, and how his is so much better, and ours can't run over a turd. good for him. and yeah, pvc sux. that's why i am going to use ABS.
