Knock-off Amfib Snorkel

[dcmdon]

Isn't the stock air intake already higher than the breather for the transfer case?

If you install something like this, what are the other steps you need to take to actually raise the water fording depth?

You have to worry about some electrical stuff and some other breather hoses. I'm not too concerned about the water, since I'll probably never really ford anything too crazy here. They supposedly also help with dirt and dust. It can get pretty dusty here. That was my main concern. And they kind of look cool. Also, be advised I'm no expert.

One of the threads on snorkels has a pretty good write up on what else you may need to do to prep your Jeep become a submarine if you're worried about water messing things up. It is a longer thread. Can't remember who started or what exactly it was titled.

Gotta say the price is right and the install looks so much easier than the RR on the JK. That was a pita.

That is what I was thinking, under $350 shipped. Sure I'll give it a shot.

So I got it on. All in all not too terrible of an install. I have a Sport S and a winch. With the way the higher trim models are with the grille inserts it looked pretty easy. The Sports however, have a piece in the way that blocks the lower bolt to the radiator support. I ended up messing up the bottom right honeycomb trying to get to that bolt. If I remember later I'll try getting a picture to show what I'm talking about. YouTube has a pretty good install video. I had it posted but didn't know it was a banned site?It doesn't completely line up perfectly on the back end but I'm not too concerned with that. I took a picture to show that.

That is just the hi mount piece for the snorkel.

Holding up pretty good. Just need to clean out my cyclone filter periodically.

Nope, not yet. I got mine mainly for the dust here. Granted it is pouring and we're under a flash flood warning now...
