OT: Snorkel Air Intake.
The main objective of the snorkel air intake is to feed the engine relatively clean, dust-free air. Deep fording requires a high degree of waterproofing along with a high air intake. A lot of dust is kicked up while off-roading that a traditional under-bonnet intake will inhale, choking the air filter sooner than a high mounted air intake. This is reason most of the trucks have their air intake on the cabin roof, especially those operating in the mining and construction sectors.
So the fording capabilities of a Gurkha & Gama 4x4 should be the same. |
