Is a wing the equivalent of a snorkel? 🤣

I supposed it depends on the car/person but both can yield a legit person imo or a total poseur. You choose who you surround yourself with
Yup, best comparison ever made. I’d bet the majority that have either one don’t need it but there are definitely some that do.

I’d say the same about winches, lockers, mud-terrains, roof racks, spare tires, stingers, etc. A snorkel has benefits on a dusty road, y’all need to get out more

Excuse? Auto/truck/tractor manufactures around the globe offer them OE, ever watch a Dakar desert rally? They are often designed specifically for clean/cool air, not water fording. Thus would be the case for the OE Toyota applications found around the world.
They should all start consulting your expertise. You sound like a guy I want to learn from lol. You offer training?

Ha! I always chuckled at folks who saw the factory snorkel on the mog and asked about going through water that deep. While the military did use the snorkel for water, truth be told, I suspect the original design had very little to do with fording rivers and more to do with the heritage as an agricultural implement. Most tractors have a snorkel and usually a cyclone prefilter like a unimog to eliminate dust and dirt from the intake air.

I knew this would set you on tilt, so I deleted it last night after I posted it. You did not disappoint👍Excuse?

Is it Chicken Corners or Chicken S***? If you're going to lob passive aggressive insults, at least don't delete them and own them.

It's not enough to simply build a capable overland truck. It has to also look the part.

Wow!!! I purposely stayed away from the "Rona" thread. Now I'm wondering about this one...

Well, this is a 4x4 forum so I would naturally expect some level of stuffiness and judgement about the mods and vehicle selections of others. If this were a medical forum, I would understand the Rona thread more

Own them, I was just trying to keep you from puking all over yourself, that’s why I deleted it, I failed. Look, I get it, a large part of you business is the “overland” crowd and slinging snorkels and RTT.Is it Chicken Corners or Chicken S***? If you're going to lob passive aggressive insults, at least don't delete them and own them.
I appreciate, the hard work you do keeping trails open, and have expressed that in post regarding your time working on getting strike Strike Ravine open. Hell in February, of 2015 me and my son attended a Tread Lightly Class you put on. We enjoyed it.

NO.
I am all about the stock-bodied, sleeper look. If I ever stick a big wing like that on my Miata--or any car I own--I invite each and every one of you to kick me in the nuts.

What if someone else sticks it on your car? Same deal? 😬

Wing schming, I think Dempsey's Miata needs a set of those headlight eyelashes.
