So i was traveling northbound Mission Avenue in Oceanside CA, and passed a woodland Camo M1009, lifted with what looked like a winch on the front. The other individual was traveling in the opposite direction and I waved while driving mine painted in desert tan.
Was it anyone on this site?
What is that thing: No they do, and when i tell them all of a sudden its like "duuuu". LOL
Precleaner: As for a contact, I started here, called Cat directly and they gave me the number to my local retailer. From there I called the local retailer and got it on order. price ran around 150.00
I e-mailed the company, active duty military can get it for 175.00 out the door and you can get it in OD. Just thought i would pass the intel on to you guys.
I really like that little guy, I found the on another site that has them listed as 12 volt. Which is what i need them to be if I am wiring them up in my vic. The link you posted says 6, 28 volt? Those are some crazy odd voltages.
I had a local muffler company do it, had then take 4inch stainless pipe usually used for exhaust and had them bend and weld it in (had to be done in sections). It is welded to the fender for support and sealing. Pre cleaner ran about (from what i can remember) $86.00 from Cat. The muffler...
Not hard, if you don't mind doing it every time you used the tool. Spray painting only holds up untill you use whatever you painted then it needs to be done again.
Ya unless the vehicle stops running while your in the water, I haven't figured out a way to get it all sorted out yet. But I will. Thought about adding a HUMVEE exhaust to it. but then again that would look just atrocious.

This is the company that made my rack.
The rack is a little pricey at about 650.00. I got a bit of a military dicount. It comes with all mounting hardware right down to the tracks that mount to the roof. Actually mounts with 7 bolts trough on each side. It has pads under the runners to prevent leaks.
The instructions say not...
Yup that plus do some sealing of the engine. Allot of work to just go fording. I only paid 360.00 for the whole set up and it works great, but to be truly effective I have all of of work ahead of me.
I used a 4 inch Caterpillar pre-cleaner as the filter. You have to order it through a Cat retailer.
Snorkel itself was made out of 4inch stainless steel exhaust pipe, fabricated and installed by Warner muffler here in Oceanside CA. This was their first one.
