I have enjoyed doing the work on the Jeep. I have been able to do it all so far. Lift and all.

That's awesome! It's a great thing to do. Gets you to know the vehicle better and you are more knowledgeable if you need to do a trail fix. I grew up around cars so I have been extremely lucky. On my free time I enjoy helping others out so they can learn as well!

@scubasteve2002 I've been wondering how the hood opens with the way the snorkel runs? I know that may be a stupid question but I have zero snorkel experience.

It actually opens like normal. You can even open the hood all the way back to the windshield if need be. I was surprised!!

Ok cool! I wasn't sure if the mirror or windshield frame would be in the way. The things that pop in your head in the middle of the night.

Totally understand.This is when I installed it. The hood opens the same.

No issues. The a pillar bracket can be kinda tight when attaching to the snorkel, but not an issue.
Just tighten the screws down all the way last.

Nice write up on the AEV snorkel install. After reading your write up I am now confident to break out the cutting wheel.

Thank you! Glad this write up could help build confidence. If you have any questions that were not covered in the write up just let me know.
Hi Y'all, Has anyone installed the AEV Pre-Filter with their AEV Snorkel? This is a very high tech piece of gear made by SY-KLONE who makes pre-filters for 18 wheelers, D-10 Cats, etc, plus all military trucks. AEV provides no instructions and I don't want to mess it up. I contacted SY-KLONE but have yet to receive a reply. Any assistance would be appreciated.
