Just out of curiosity how come you didn't use the black piece that came with the kit? And what size diameter is the snorkel tube where it goes into the fender?So, the snorkel installation is done! All and all, it was pretty straightforward. Of course, there was some modification necessary in order to run the plumbing, but, I'll go over that here in a few.
Aside from drilling holes and making sure you use the appropriate size hole saw, the installation of the actual snorkel is pretty straightforward. It sits really solid on the fender, and holds the lines fairly well.
Next, I had to remove the outer fender (I actually removed it before mounting the snorkel) in order to trim the inner fender and cut the other hole for the intake. Dropping the front outers on a WJ are very straightforward. A 5 minute job.
Next I had to determine where to cut.
It was really more time consuming fitting everything to make sure I cut in the right place than making the actual cuts.
After putting the fender back on, I could fit the 4" to 3" reduction elbow to finish the plumbing. Piece of cake!
I was weary of using the Spectre 3" flex tubing, but found that it should be thick enough to actually take any punishment headed it's way. I do need to reposition that clamp, though. I also sealed the ends of the flex tubing with Black RTV Silicone, too.
With everything plumbed correctly, it was onto the next challenge- Correctly seating the A-pillar mount. In order to do this, I ended up re-purposing the piece of metal used to cover the stock airbox hole, bent it, got some hardware, and made an adapter to correctly bolt the snorkel to the a-pillar.
This also pulls back on the snorkel just enough to keep is from moving. It does stit just a bit more forward than most, but it's seated well and doesn't obscure the view, so I think I can live with it. yes, it is visible from the Driver's seat, but not much. no complaints.

Friday I helped Represent the Bullhead 4 Wheelers in Bullhead City's Boom Box Parade. We had probably 5 vehicles out to represent B4W. It was also the last run for the dinky cigarette lighter inverter. The new one arrived late, so I was rather limited as to what I could do with lights.

Hey, It's going well. I am Currently Running Core 4x4 Tier 1 Front Uppers, Lowers, and Rear Lowers. Stock A-Arm. It's a firmer ride, but they old out well, and take any punishment I send their way. Oh, and Core's warranty is top notch, too. If you manage to break 'em, they'll replace 'em. As far as the A-Arm goes, I might upgrade to Ironman 4x4 Fab or IROs Adjustable A-Arm. Not in a hurry for that one, though.
