Nope, not yet. I got mine mainly for the dust here. Granted it is pouring and we're under a flash flood warning now...
Yeah, we’re having drought like conditions here. I say drought like because we typically have a wet late winter early spring.

Has anyone installed one of these, or the original Amfib version, with a Genesis dual battery system?

I haven't seen much done for a Gladiator on that, but in the JL world people have tried and it doesn't fit well. If you go to the Genesis website there is an FAQ posted for the dual battery and they state they're incompatible together.

I installed the Amfib on my wife’s JLR on Saturday, it would not fit well with the Genesis. I guess she gets to keep the OEM dual battery setup.

Can someone with the knock-off measure its height and width above/outside the original cowl line? I'm wondering if this will fit under a diode dynamic cowl light mount. Thanks!

Installed one of these today. For $154.50 I figured why not. The fit and finish is commensurate to the reviews I’ve read for the RR.

One deterrent from looking into the install previously was the grille removal. With my winch butted up against it, that wasn’t an option. If you’re forceful enough, you can get the right angle to remove the radiator support with the grille on.

When I installed my switch relay box I purposely kept it off to the side where the normal mounting location is on the fender by the battery. I did this just in case I ever went the snorkel route.

I have a badgeglow simple aux next to the battery. There should be enough room under the snorkel for that, right?

Does it sit level or lower than the fuse box. If so it would be fine.
