The Roof scoop project has started.

[Gussie2000]

Well like i said before, i like it, some like it and like the rest of the people that have seen our VX's not so many like it, so by just owning a Vx, you are swimming against the current anyways. Its cool that you feel that way, it's what you think and i respect that. But i didn't post pictures of it to have people judge it, just look at it. and like i was brought up, if you don't got something nice to say, don't say it at all, it won't get you anywhere but just put rinkles on peoples forheads. and i was not asking for an openion on this thread, just keeping the people interested involved thats it. I'm not upset, but ricer, i think thats a little to far. Its a functional scoop. Rally vehicals have them, eather for fresh air inside for the drivers or for ram air on very modified Rally vehicals. This scoop is for a snorkle reason mainly like i said before, if nothing else works, at least the snorkle will work for the true intension of this project. Also just cuz rally vehicals have not done a scoop for just a snorkle don't mean i can't. Hay maybe i'm the first to start something new . Well anyways a snorkle does work Gussie, thats why they are made. I understand your from Columbia and you know about vehicals back at ur home counrty have snorkles for flooding reasons, but they do make them for the reason your vehical won't hydro-lock. it's not like i'm going scooba diving or anything, just for emergancy perpose and fun offroading.

Costie,I don't know how much rallying knowlegde you may have,however when your compare an jeep with a VX you are making a mistake,the problem with the VX is that the designers didn't had on mind a snorkel to it,plus there's no accesories avalaible to do a professional snorkel system for it,many fellow VX'ers here told you go ahead & do what makes you happy,however if you ask them if they'll follow you on this i bid none wouldn't.

The VX is one of a kind SUV,so special that few regular mods on other vehicules just don't fit for the VX. And the fact that the VX is a SUV that not many people wouldn't consider as a vehicule because is like swimming agains the stream shall make think about it.

By the way,i'm from venezuela,not colombia.I belongs to the venezuelan national 4x4 isuzu club & also had a nice toyota named "MACHO" which looks very alike the tropper 2 doors,just with a V6 engine & i can also tell you i had a snorkel system designed by toyota.

Rally for years on differents locations across the country in very tough terrains & got vertical lock even with my well designed snorkel,so don't take this snorkel stuff as a "life saver" to get you outter all stucky situation.

You must also do few mods related to electrical exposed at the engine,such as alternator & the starter & wiring.

I saw few months ago a VX in england thru youtube with a snorkel,very rookie looking,the guy made a hole on the driver front fender & runned a flex plastic pipe all the way up to the door pillar.

However costie no hard feelings,what can i say ?

Just go for it & keep us posted on the progress
