Apologies if its been covered, but being a tart, I prefer the look of the RAI over the Safari. Is there a fool proof way of modifying the RAI to make it waterproof?
Cheers

You can put some sealent / rubber / silicone etc around the fitting. But it is a raised air intake. Not a snorkel for deep wading.
The air box has good drainage in case you do go below the recommended wading depth. And the RAI will give you a bit more protection.
But if you expect to need a proper waterproofed snorkel and submerge the vehicle to that extent then you need to worry about the electrics more than whether the RAI is water proof or not... The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...
