Don't they KNOW that I have a Mojave Trail run in 3 weeks?

I feel like the late Rodney Dangerfield.

I know from personal experience importing shipping containers from overseas, more time is spent in customs then on the boat in travel time.
It costs a arm and a leg not only for shipping overseas but customs fees are out of control. I assume with the number and weight this is slow boat and not air freight.

I know this will be a sticky, and rightly so, however since I don't have my snorkel yet, it just creates "snorkel envy".

So we may be seeing them in TWO WEEKS?

I wish....It dosn't look like it

Stuck

I just like saying the word snorkel and will do so daily until they arrive. Sometimes I wake myself up in the middle of the night yelling the name "SNORKEL!!!!!" only to awaken to a room void of said snorkel. It will come. I know it will. It has to.

Thanks Bill

I find myself daydreaming about Snorkels too

For general info, I talked to ARB yesterday regarding our orders for the snorkels, and they say it will be hopefully Nov - Dec when they arrive - they are shooting for release before Christmas, but they may not get here 'til Jan '08, depending on customs, etc... so 2 weeks from now is, unfortunately, very unlikely...

Thanks Larry for the update....Crap, any members work for customs?..maybe we can get them processed a little quicker

Actually aFe released a plug to help with this, and it costs much less than the difference between the TRD and aFe intakes...

I will have a few soon.

Along with some other new FJ intake goodies, just released!

edit: just fnished reading the rest of the posts... yeah you all now anyway... I thought I was special.

The aFe intake aux hole draws alot more air Mike, and aFe's argument is that the additional airflow cancels out the warm air effect. I think I will wheel with the plug in and city drive with it out, for some more HP an better MPG.

You are special Joel

It's ok Larry, it won't be long, you can use this thread on a daily basis to get your "Fix", I know I will

Chat, Know anyone in customs?

Do you think the container is marked "Safari Snorkels for FJ Addicts?"

I'm thinking we can help ARB get them "past" customs faster...

I kid, I kid. Sorta

Give me a ceramic knife, some rope, and point me in the general direction. I'll get her done.

Find out if ARB is C-TPAT compliant. If so, there will be NO hold up in US Customs. If not, why not?

So, for going snorkeling in my FJ, is there anything else I will need besides the snorkel? Are all the other components already water tight? Computer modules, etc?

Mask and fins are optional.

Water can enter the cab, and if you intend up going in water a lot, it is best to try and waterproof the ones in the cab.

There may be some threads here on that, I am not sure.
I am getting a snorkel for dust control though, not for water.
