Hello fellow Frontier enthusiasts,
I've been considering taking on a new professional endeavor and was hoping to get some market information from those who participate on this forum. Recently, I've been experimenting with water crossings in my Frontier and had the misfortune of hydro-locking in the middle of a rather large puddle. Luckily, we were able to save the engine and get back home in one piece-This got me looking into purchasing a snorkel set up of some kind. I was rather disappointed by the market offerings, and surprised at the dollar amount these distributors are able to demand for such a simple device.
To shorten the story- I think we deserve some options. After several prototypes and much deliberation, I've come up with a device that I think will drastically lower the production expense of manufacturing such a product. I was hoping to get some opinions of those who have either purchased a snorkel in the past or have considered one but not made the jump yet. My goal is to determine what the market is looking for (you guys) and make the moves necessary to have these in production before all the big summer events this year. I will keep this post updated as things progress or dissipate.
Don't worry, admins- I'll request proper approval and set up if and when this turns into an actual product.
Thank you all! I am posting this survey on multiple forums to see if I can garner some interest, such as Expedition Portal and American Adventurist. If you have any suggestions as to where this would be an appropriate topic- please let me know in the comments.
Appreciate it!
Rob
