Starting today through May 31, 2012 for all interested parties you can be eligible to receive a snorkel for your Jeep XJ!

As you may know we recently added a vendor http://www.jianshioffroad.com/ that sells snorkels at a much reduced rate. These snorkels are made in China. The vendor being in China is able to sell these babies for $120 shipped to the U.S.

To good to be true? We don't think so and to prove it we're going to give one away. That means no risk to you!

To become eligible for the give away you need to do the following:

1) Friend xjtalk on Facebook. http://xjtalk.com/images/special/Facebook_24x24.png (http://www.facebook.com/xjtalk)
2) Post on xjtalk's Facebook wall why you should be given the snorkel. http://xjtalk.com/images/special/Facebook_24x24.png (http://www.facebook.com/xjtalk)
(Please mention your xjtalk username in your post so you get credit!)

OR

1) Place a post on a website (other than xjtalk) about the give away and why you should be given the snorkel.
2) Post in this thread the link to your post.

The point here is to let more people know about xjtalk, at least that's our point for doing this! :D

The xjtalk member will be selected by the admins. We will be looking for the best reason/story why you should receive the snorkel. Pictures are always a plus!

Jeep snorke are made of LLDPE

*All xjtalk members are eligible for this give away. You MAY have to pay the difference in shipping between the US shipping and where you are located. For example shipping to the US is $120, Australia/New Zealand is $140 and Europe is $170

**xjtalk staff are eligible for this give away

I just wanted to let you know what I mentioned the giveaway on my website http://www.the4x4podcast.com/jeep-xj-snorkel-giveaway, Facebook https://www.facebook.com/the4x4podcast and Twitter https://twitter.com/the4x4podcast (https://twitter.com/#!/the4x4podcast)!

Aside from the cool-factor that is added by having a snorkel, I could really use one on my XJ because the trails in northern New York are filled with deep water holes from the spring time thaw. I was really surprised by the amount of water given that this winter was so mild! ITS DEEP OUT THERE!

Guess that did kinda sound like I was being a smarta** but wasn't intended to be. And I did friend the site last night. Mine spends too much time on it's side to run a snorkle, it'd just get ripped off then I'd have a hole in my fender.

I see what happened. There is a xjtalk fan page and there is a regular xjtalk page, like a person's page. There are only a very few people on the fan page, but about 800 on the "person" page. That's why you didn't see any others.

Well I guess that is part true. Matt and I (the admins) will be reading all the reasons why (you) should get the snorkel and then we'll pick one. It's not a random drawing it's who has the best story, best reason, etc...

20 give me because I want it will lose out to an elaborate well written (or just plain funny) reason.

I had to be pulled out of this mess because I couldn't hit it hard enough without a snorkel due to the depth of the water/mud.

I also had to take the bypass, because I didn't dare try this.

Just save the hassle and give it to me. I'm going to be tearing the Jeep apart to fix the subframe and start on the next round of mods.

Our apologies for the delay. Here is the best reason as determined by msmoorenburg and I.


my reason for being picked the winner of XJTalk.com snorkel give-away... I live in a place "like no where else on earth". We have mountains, lakes, rivers, streams,plants, desert, caynons, and "hell's Half Acre". The wind blows anywhere from 20 to 80 mph on a good day, kicking up dust and debris, we frequently have water crossings and i would like to keep my jeep running in best possible way for as long as possible. A snorkel adds a form of function to an already awsome platform.

The snorkel recipient is... TrystanZ24, Bil "with one l"

Bil please PM "private message" me with the address where you want the snorkel shipped.

Thank you to everyone that entered, shared. Especially to those that didn't want the snorkel but shared the information anyway! :love0007:

This won't be our last give away, so stay tuned!

xjtalk.com, it's where you go when you're not offroad!

Okay xjtalk vendor Jeeptian has the order and Bil's address.

Keep in mind that this vendor is in China, and English isn't the primary language there. You may find a work or two mis-spelled. Check out their site for great deals on XJ goodies like the snorkel that Bil will be receiving soon!

Boy, really thought I had this one, especially with the leaderships love of RED XJs. Oh well, guess I'll have to get more creative next time.

Congratz Bil! Beat the snot out of it out there and report back to the rest of us on how it holds up.

Well remember I didn't start the red/green thing. Also Matt likes white. Can't imagine anyone liking a total lack of color, but okay. :poke:

boys,
we have lots of similar colors, why just red and green? For me red is similar to ocean blue, kelly green. Green is similar to redorange, powderblue, rgb etc

The color chart:

Work has me pretty busy, I am about 10 days away from a day off, so it may be awhile. 14 hour days of driving and delivering joints to the oil field. I will do my best to get pics up and initial impressions on the quality and design.

Thanks! Work comes first, glad to hear you're busy with it. A good sign for all of us.

Glad to hear that the shipping was that fast... def helps make some folks minds up as to whether they want to order from a place, especially one that is that far away!! Can't wait to see pics, but glad to hear that work is steady...

No updates up to this point, work is still intense. I will inform all of you what has happened to date:

Snorkel arrived in decent time considering it ships from China.

Upon opening and inspecting the snorkel, there were some major issues that should have been caught by quality control:
Pic 1http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb61/TrystanZ24/Snorkel/IMAG0034.jpg
Pic 2http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb61/TrystanZ24/Snorkel/IMAG0030.jpg

I then contacted the vendor and his first reply was rather vague. After emailing him the pics and requesting a new piece he said he would "re-sent" me a replacement piece. That was nine days ago, so I will hopefully have the replacement by the end of next week.

When I receive the replacement I will update you all.

If the quality is better I will move on to do an install thread, but so far I am skeptical. :pray: I fear cutting into that perfect sheet metal for no reason.

Wish me luck!

Yep this is disappointing, however we all know every vendor have issues from time to time. At this point what matters is customer service. It sounds like they are doing what needs to be done.

dude that stinks but like mudderoy said this might be the only piece like this out of many that is like that. so now you get to find out how the customer experience is hopefully they are good and get you a replacement part just as fast as getting the original product

hope everything works out if all else fails you could always put some epoxy on it and close it up that way to make it water tight

any update yet on the vendor or the install

Sorry so long to get back, work work work.

The vendor "Tian" sent me a new main body for the snorkel and it was fully sealed and ready to go. The customer service side of things is satisfactory once you get through the language barrier. So far I am happy with the outcome.

As for the install, I have dropped the ball. :bang: I have been working as much as possible the last few weeks. I have not had a chance to source a new washer bottle, or the shop time to do a quality job. I apologize on the wait, but family and work are at the top of my list right now. I hope to have a better update in the next week or so. Dont be afraid to post up on here and harass me, sometimes I need it.

There was no time frame in the give away that you MUST install the item by a certain time. Thanks for checking in and letting us know the status! It's great to hear someone out there has plenty of work to do.

Don't feel bad. I won a pair of frame stiffeners and it took almost 2 years before they got installed. Couple of months don't mean squat.

I won a battery box I haven't installed on my Mighty Mite yet. I think it is about a year old now.
