Why a Jeep Cherokee 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.
Rocky Road will always be committed to bringing you the best products and service.

Snorkel Pre-Filter
These excellent kits are available only thru Rocky Road Outfitters. The premier Safari Snorkel distributor 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 and run dry, Meaning, no additional oils or additives required. Running a dry Pre-filter means 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, not sprayed on; consequently, 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.
