Borne Off-Road Snorkel R&D Thread

[Mishimoto]

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??

You might be able to squeeze the plug for our intake in there!

Excited for my "Poser pipe", lets hope the materials aren't sitting around at the port for too long!

We're stoked to start shipping these to you guys! We're getting very close!

Does the Bronco 2.3 have same issues?

Just from a quick peek under the hood of our 2.3 Bronco, it appears that the alternator is also in the same location, so it seems likely

This is all I could find...not very challenging...

Then there's this...

Most of those are Bronco Sports. Not Broncos.

The Bronco 2.3l's alternator is in the same place as ours. Not sure about the 2.7l.

You mean most of those are Edges, not Broncos!

Y'all are making way too big of a deal out of the alternator.

No, Bronco Sport was correct.
Also the link about the drowned vehicle goes to the "bronco sport forum"

So you probably believe they make a electric “Mustang” also.

if that's the way you're going with it, you'd be better off calling it an Escape. Bronco sport is much more similar to that than the Edge.

Hope these kits will ship soon!

Hey Guys!

I just wanted to give this thread a bump!

Apologies for the delay in shipment, we're still waiting on some of the components to arrive at our warehouse so that we can begin shipping our kits. It's a priority to get these out to you, so we're doing everything that we can to make sure this process gets expedited!

Also, just an update on the airbox plugs too - We're kicking off the production of these and should have them in a few weeks, BUT they unfortunately won't be ready in time to send out with the first batch of snorkel kits (plugs for the OEM box will be added to the kit once we have them on hand) For those on the presale, I'll be sure to give you the heads up that they're ready and we'll make sure to send you the plugs as needed once we have them!

I'll keep you posted as things progress!

Thanks again for your patience, guys!

Waiting patiently its cold and snowy here so not installing immediately, but cant wait to get the snorkel.

Thanks for the update, do you have a guess on when they will start shipping?

Hey Guys!

I just wanted to give this a quick bump and let you know that we're still waiting on components to arrive at the warehouse so we can kick off shipping these kits. Unfortunately, these pieces are part of the backlog that the ports are facing, but we're doing what we can to expedite the process.

Thanks again for your patience guys!

Maybe with the added wait time the stock intake box plug will make it in these kits?

I'll definitely let you guys know if the timing does end up working out that way!

I was just chatting to our project manager about these kits and we're hoping for our components to arrive within the next two weeks to start shipping. I'll keep you posted!

Maybe a flash-mob got to our shipping container and raided all the snorkels/hardware.

Hey Guys,

Apologies again on the delay! We were working out a new solution that should get these kits out to you sooner

Also, just a quick update on our airbox plugs, we're wrapping up with the production of these and having them shipped more directly to us, so those shouldn't be too far behind your snorkel!

Thanks again for your patience guys!
