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.

Since I posted this because of the snorkel, I should mention that I am very pleased with the quality and ease of installation. As you can imagine, the only tuff part was drilling the 3" hole in the side.

I have several River Raider items (Snorkel, Hi-lift mount and Evap Skid for my air tank) and have to say not only are their products great, but their customer service is excellent!!

Awesome looking rig!

A RR Snorkel is definitely planned for my Rubicon.
It is amazing something so functional looks so good!
What do you do about the radio antenna, and do they offer the snorkel pre-painted to match body color?

I really want a snorkel, I was kind of leaning towards the AEV because I only had to cut up the hood and not the body, but I def like the RR, how much body do you have to cut up? Do you have some pics while you were installing it??

You can get it color matched directly from RR.

Here is a link for another write up: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...raider+install


Here are some pics of the "hard" part.

I plan on getting a hidden antenna. I have seen several listed on this site. I still get the local radio while driving around town, but the signal gets week.

It is really easy. Most of your time is spent during the prep.
Can I borrow your wife to do some work on my JK??? :-)
