i looked all over the place and could not find anyone who made a snorkel for the bii or the ranger and all i found was pvc custom snorkels, well i decided i didnt want a pvc snorkel, and since nobody sells one for the bii, i did a bunch of research and from looking at a lot of vehicles i found that the body line and the windshield line are very similar to the land rover discovery. so i was able to borrow a snorkel from a member of the local land rover club to try it and it looked very close. i finally broke down bought and and installed it, the biggest issue is as you well know, our air box is on the opposite side, i decided to custom bend tubes from the snorkel to the air box used silicone coupler hoses and clamps from 6.0 powerstroke charge air cooler tubes and it worked great..
