Borne Off-Road Snorkel R&D Thread

[Msfitoy]

Our launch/shipping ETA is still within the next few weeks since the components are still en route to our warehouses. I'll keep you guys posted on an exact date once we get closer!



Sure thing! I'll make sure to grab a photo of that for you tomorrow




Apologies on that! I'll make sure that our IT team is aware that this is still an issue so we can get your order placed. If you call in, our customer service team should be able to manually enter everything for you in the meantime.

If you're still having CC processing issues can you leave a "WOW" reaction on this post

I had to call it in to make the order stick...But today, I received email saying 8-10 weeks...I hope that's the worst case...?

Mrs and I made a 2 hour trip to Ikea and...everything was out of stock...still sitting on the docks...I sure hope Mishi's stuff isn't stuck there too...

That email is automatically generated for anything out of stock, which includes the presale items, and is a general restocking time. Not to worry though, they'll be in stock much sooner than that!

I don't know what is different, but my manual says middle of the hub or 15-17" of water. The video is in 800mm or 32" of water. My driver side door sill was just above the water and stayed dry. The passenger side was 4 inches deeper and the floor completely flooded in ~10minutes.

I also had allot more spray with the hood up. The fan was throwing water everywhere.

Also, I wanted to give those of you running our performance intake, we have our first prototype inlet plug fresh off of the 3D printer:

I'm afraid we're asking too much of USA Rangers for fording rivers...I won't be testing any crossing deeper than

Thanks Nick! Looks like plenty of space...?

Any chance for an AFE Ram intake plug??

Very true Ford failed us on water wading capabilities here in the US. If the non US spec vehicles can wade deeper i'm sure it can be done to ours in the aftermarket... wont be easy but nothing's impossible.

Does the Bronco 2.3 have same issues?

Not sure, but with all the advertising, social media & Ford off-road testing videos floating around on the Bronco I sure hope they took water crossings into consideration.

Only seen it crawling hills in the desert. All situations were dry desert conditions.
