It was actually pretty easy, and I was able to do the whole thing solo. The cut wasn't bad at all. I'm guessing it would be alot easier than cutting the hood for an AEV Snorkel. The instructions were excellent and it took maybe 5 hours with alot of breaks.

First steps I took off the door, rock rail, grill, air box, wipers, cowl and the fender.



Next was the cut to the fender. Very easily done with a Dremel.



Nice shiney alluminum tube.





The main body of the snorkel with the low mount



The old upper air box with the new lower air box.



The finished product with KC Slimlites and Rugged Ridge windshield light mounts.

Would you be able to add the higher mounted snorkel, or will the lights get in the way?

I run the same setup and I've added plugs to my passenger side windshield light to make it easy to unplug and install the high safari style snorkel. It takes about 10 minutes going from the lower version to the high intake (and back again).

i really like your install, it looks great!! id love to run a snorkel but living in PA, and cutting body panels usually results in lots of rust holes!

Looks good going to tackle mine tomorrow, how many tubes of RTV did you use?

Vin

Maybe half of one. I used the most on the holes on the bottom of the tray for the air box because I didn't realize they were holes. I'm really not sure of the reasoning behind it, because you need to throw the mounting bolts for the new lower airbox through the goop anyways. You may be better off just sealing it at the airbox side, but I'm no engineer.

There's only one cut, and it's no worse than trimming the pinch seams. Just add some paint and there should be no rust problems. They even provide the trim to cover the cut.
