Whether you think they are decorative or purposeful, a lot of thought and design goes into making sure bullbars and snorkels fit properly, doesn't restrict air flow, doesn't compromise on safety, and are durable enough for any climate and condition you are going to put it through.

These new 4x4 gear are fine examples of the level of engineering and design detail that goes into making sure that it delivers on its promise without any compromises.

Ironman 4x4 has a new Airforce snorkel for the Isuzu D-Max (6/2012-onwards) and MU-X (2014-onwards).
