JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Installed my JK Snorkle yesterday.... under 2hrs... not bad at all.

I used a Dremel with a metal cutting disc. I found that it gave me more control than a bigger grinder. The hood metal is pretty thin so it cuts easy

Thanks, that's what I thought. An angle grinder is just too cumbersome. I have to find a dremel to borrow now.

Just installed mine last weekend also. I thought the install was very simple.

I know volants snorkel for the TJs uses their CAI system...but not sure about their JK setup. The volant JK snorkel looks like crap.

Pretty sure the Volant snorkle will work with the volant cai. Prob give a lil more flow than the elbow on the stock airbox that the aev snorkle seals to.

i would like to put my snorkel on. its just sitting in the basement... I'm too nervous about hacking into the hood. i cut my fenders tho and it was alot easier then i thought it was gonna be. so maybe ill give this a try, no use in buying another hood tho. mine had a dent in it before 100 miles.
