He's even getting ripped over there.



Really? Your post, 23, seems to say otherwise:

"I actually like it. Great concept. Its hard to come by stuff made for P38s, thats why we make our own. I was thinking about a snorkle for a while now. I also think it will look better powder coated and with the rivits ground down."

I was talking about the concept, which I still support.

no way. the Vega rocked and especially the wagon. anyone remember the Vega Cosworth? bad ass!
i saw alot of strange vehicles while in Nevada last month and the Vega wagon was one of them.
almost as cool as the Opel GT.

Vega GT was my first car in HS. Gold like the one in the picture, but not the wagon. I paid $900 for it used, by the time that I sold it, I was getting about 100 miles per quart of oil. Sold it for $900 and bought a refurbished '67 MGB in 1979 which I still own. Funny thing...no girls ever wanted to cruise around in the Vega...the MG however was a different story:)

The Vega and MG were good cars to learn how to keep running. By the time I graduated college, I'd pulled the engine on the B to several times for things like having the block bored and honed and installing new pistons, etc, a couple of clutches...great experience for keeping a Discovery on the road.

Cosworth Vegas were badass. The basic Vega GT was not.

Actually, I have to chime in here.
Dee didn't make a lot of shit for his trucks, but all I've seen was top notch. I still have his diff covers - they've been beat up a lot, and I don't even see the powdercoating flaking off yet.

I built front and rear bumpers, sliders and pinion gaurds for my disco. There are many others on this site who build there own shit and make it look nice. I'm not knocking someone for trying but come on.

The thing that bugs me is that there are only so many P38's that are good vehicles. If the ones that are decent get hacked up then there are only so many left for the rest of us.

This applies to the D1 as well. I really don't care if someone hacks up a piece of shit - just make sure the good ones are left to the smart buyer for good mods.

you don't want to see my work :)
But, really, the fact that, for instance, someone's slapped a Chevy Nova body on a 4x4 chassis doesn't mean it's a right thing to do.
I am surprized nobody commented on how much this snorkel and a Hannibal roof rack have in common.

Where's Mr. RoverGrenade?

Inform Mr. Snorkel Maker that TUBE IS STRONGER THAN BOX and FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION.

Long live the sewer pipe snorkel.

Oh Jesus not you again.

Wow your a regular fucking JEENYUS aren't you. Drag me into this? How are my comments on tube strength related to someone strapping a turd to the side of their truck.

If this was supposed to be some kind of jab at my intelligence then a "go fuck yourself" may be in order.

Regardless "necessity is the mother of all invention" right?

It was not neccisary for you to HACK your poor p38. I want a snorkel prety bad but would rather spend the $$ on HD drivetreain parts and stay out of deep water. I do know however when I do get a snorkel one day I will buy it, unless of course I know a magician that can make me one that doesn't look like shit.

Live and learn dude, you asked and everyone told you what they think. Making your own stuff is rad, if it's legit.


GregH I thought we were done when i stopped posting on a thread where you were bashing another persons creation (one that ROVERTRACKS IS BACKING). Make fun of my typing skills if you like, It doesn't change the fact that I could give a rats ass if it is internet forum format approved or not.

LOL-I think your comments are just as meaningful and applicable in both threads.

Nope. I'm not the "JEENYUS" that you appear to be.

I cannot even write something that humorous...Thank you.

Yes, the Mantec is quite pricey-~$370. You can really buy alot of HD drivetrain parts for that. And you're all about having a good-looking truck. I know that by your TUBE IS STRONGER THAN BOX comments.

BTW-when you get that snorkel, please post some wading to mid-windshield pics. That is really the advantage of having a snorkel with a gasoline engine. I can see you are an experienced off roader and you know that when you see "raised air intakes" on vehicles in the desert they are just wannabes.

Where's the fun in stopping?

You say one thing but your repetitive postings say another. I think I only commented that it was almost painful to read your post because you seem unable to properly start and stop "quotes".

You are totaly right I am a total wanabe poseur mall crawler because the statements I made regarding tube strength totaly prove I am more worried about how my truck looks than performs.. YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT!!

Again you totaly must know me? Do you live next door? How are you able to so acutely pinpoint my insecurities? I am less than an hour from the RUBICON, FORDYCE, BLUE LAKES, and many other challenging trails NOT in the DESERT. You once again have proved YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT. What do you think I do RUN around in sand dunes all day?

BTW A snorkel is designed to move your intake from BEHIND the HEADLIGHT to higher ground, to suck water into your intake in the stock location requires much less than mid windshield depth water, however you ARE the AUTHORITY so I guess you must be right.

You are truly a DICK HEAD. Your jabs at my intelligence as well as your assurmation of my Wannabe-ness is a insecure attempt to make your Mall Crawling Highschool girl Trolling sorry excuse for a life seem better. I have enjoyed listening to your dreams of what you think I represent in real life, however I am sorry to inform you that in reality I am a smart, shit kicking, self employed, wrenching, welding, and wheeling son of a bitch. You on the other hand are a Pussy.

In conclusion I have been wheeling some of the most challenging trails in the Sierra Nevadas for well over 12 years. If that makes me a wannabe then you must be a FUCKING rock GOD! You are an asshat and I am done with you.


Like my Proper use of Quotes, took the time to be internet forum asshat aproved just for you!:D

Check the wannabe Poseur photos where I am to worrie about how my truck looks to go off road.

And yes I am running TUBE BUMPERS in these photos, and you know what Greg H, I MADE THEM in my garage along with every other mod and repair (besides the trans) I do to my truck. Tell me again I am a wannabe Poseur!


Fucking looser............

Actually in it's above context Fucking Rock God is no insult. However In Greg H's case it just isn't true. Maybe "Internet Forum Insult Pro" would be more appropriate.

Do you not understand the concept of having a raised air intake gets you cooler air than from inside your engine bay and it is MUCH better at keeping dust and dirt from getting to your filter? It really isn't for going through deep water.

Hey Rover Grenade what kind of truck is that in the last pic on the top row? Never quite seen one like it before. Do you have a pic of it on its wheels. Sorry to interupt the bashing but id like to know.
