WJ Snorkel
The WJ Snorkel, for Grand Cherokee 1999-2004. NOTE: This snorkel will mount on the right side of the Jeep… passenger side in the Americas and most of Europe.
From the Amazon to the Andies – from the Kalahari to the Kimberley – from the Sahara to the Simpson, four wheel drivers the world over have put their trust in a genuine Snorkel System available from Rocky Road Outfitters.
Pioneered in Australia in the early 1980’s, Snorkels were born out of a need to protect 4WD engines from the hazards of dust and water commonly encountered in touring and off road applications. rocky Road carries Snorkel systems for Jeep from a couple suppliers.
In arguably the best, if not toughest environment, our Snorkel Systems, thoroughly researched, tested and tooled for each unique model of popular 4WD.
NOT a cheap Chinese snorkel kit! Those kits literally will break and crack the first time a tree branch brushes them. Those cheap kits that look enticing, it will break on you, it will suffer UV damage and become brittle. We know, we’ve seen them in the real work. They look like a kid’s plastic toy… its foolish to drill a huge hole in your vehicle for them!!
The Jeep WJ Snorkel Systems are manufactured to the highest standards in durable, UV stable, cross linked polyethylene material and deliver a continuous and cooler supply of air for maximum engine performance. Each system includes quality fixtures and fittings, which offer superior sealing, presentation and long-term durability.
Optional pre-cleaners are available for extreme dust conditions on the WJ snorkel, be sure to check out the exclusive Rocky Road snorkel pre-filter kit listed at the bottom of this webpage.
Snorkels available from Rocky Road were twice awarded Best After Market Product of the Year by 4X4 Australia Magazine, highly reviewed by all US offroad magazine publications, and are distributed extensively in Australia, North & South America, Asia, and Africa… all around the world.
Why a WJ Snorkel?
Cause you never know how deep that creek is…. and once you are in, it is too late. Taking in water through the air intake can hydraulic an engine which leads to bent and thrown rods. We know this as we had our engine blow up on the way back from Rubicon once after taking an unexpected deep drop.
Our snorkel clad vehicle deep in the swamp of the Four wheeler magazine Top Truck Challenge…. Tank Trap!!!
It also came in handy during the 97′ Top Truck Challenge hosted by Four Wheeler magazine. We found ourselves in a swamp over 4′ deep. The snorkel saved the day and our engine. Not to mention…. the judging staff thought the snorkel just plain looked awesome!
Other benefits of the snorkel are performance related. The snorkel installation on the XJ America page noted improved power and gas mileage after installation…. when they were expecting opposite results. This due to the ram-air effect the snorkel has on feeding your intake (kinda like how a supercharger works, only not as forceful). Your engine also breathes cooler air from outside of the vehicle which produces more efficient power.

Snorkel Pre-Filter
These excellent kits are available only thru Rocky Road Outfitters, The premier Safari Snorkel distributors on the planet.
Our Pre-Filters, designed to keep out larger particles of debris such as dirt and sand. This, from getting into and clogging the pleats of air filter elements. Premature clogging of an air filter results in loss of horsepower and an increase in service intervals. The pre-filters, uniquely designed to protect your engine and the performance air filter investment. This, without sacrificing airflow or horsepower. Particles as small as .005″, filtered out extending filter life. Even in harsh conditions including heavy moisture, a Pre-filter enhances your filter’s ability to continue flowing the necessary air required for maximum performance while reducing the possibility of water ingestion into the engine. Proper use of our Pre-filter will save money on filter cleanings or replacements and extend engine life.
The Pre-filters contain uniform micron openings run dry. Meaning no additional oils or additives required. Running a dry Pre-filter means there is no dirt sticking to the oil creating premature loss of airflow and horsepower. Only those particles of dirt smaller then .005″ get into the actual pre-filter, the larger particles simply fall off the pre-filter. In addition, Rocky Road Pre-filters, constructed with a woven mesh. Specially treated at the mill using a proprietary process to repel water. This hydrophobic water repellent process is not sprayed on; consequently, there is no airflow loss. Whether you use your vehicle for everyday driving, for hard core off -road racing, are weekend adventure, our Pre-filters will work for you to protect and extend the life of your performance air filter and engine.
Pre-Filters are washable and reusable.
