Knowone makes one for the Bronco. But don't fear. It can be done. Safari Snorkels makes them for the LandRover and other vehicles. You can get one that is designed for the LandRover and put it on your Bronco. Some custom fitting will have to be done but it is a pretty good fit. Check out this link for more information. http://www.fullsizebronco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2264&highlight=snorkel

I have been debating that Norm. The problem I see is that it would stick out too far on the side of the truck because the pvc pipe is obviously a circle while the Safari is flatter. I would want a 3" inlet pipe and possibly a 5" intake at the top to "grab" the air. I also was thinking by the time I find, put together, and install all the stuff I will have spent more time and money in the long run. Maybe not more money but definately more time. The last problem is designing it so that any rain that gets sucked in leaves the system before it gets to the engine. Safari claims there design takes care of that problem.

If I ever get around to doing this I'll route it as far as I can on the driver's side right in front of the window. I'm sure some trimming will have to be done to the firewall and the stock vent metal, ect. But I think it would look cool. I agree though if you went out the side that it could be a little cumbersome.

I make my own out of PVC Pipe, use Rubber fittings to connect it to the intake, can paint it any color, but the color will never match the paint on the truck and it will stand out but to date I have had no problems ever with this.
PVC Pipe - whatever size you need.
PVC Cleaner & Glue.
Rubber that will fit over intake & PVC Pipe - use clamps with a rubber glue to seal the two together.
Brace - I used this to hold the PVC Pipe in place (very long tube), truck will ride under water if needed too.
Will need to extend the Ext. Pipes up too.
and do not forget breather holes for the axles too.
Small Submisiable fish pump, to pump air into the axles, though vent tubes, just enough to stop water for gettig into axles, not high pressure - saves a lot of time later, not having to take axle apart and drain oil..etc.
