snorkel/roof rack or windshield light bar
I'm in the market for a snorkel and either a roof rack or a light bar but most snorkels run along the windshield like the rack will do and I'm wandering if its even possible to do both or will I have to choose one or the other.
I've seen the cowl snorkels but I'm not sure if I like it because I won't be able to run dual batteries with it.
Any Suggestions will help or pics if anyone has a set up like this.
Thanks guys

not true about the cowel snorkel and dual batteries. The one Dirtman designed would allow for duals I believe. He made a bracket that relocates the air box and the way things sit inside so you can squeeze one in there.

Echo has a great light bar and there is a guy in Galveston who has a rockin' snorkel that he designed. I can't for the life of me think of his forum name right now.

i know he posted a write up on here. If you send him a PM he would probably send you the link. Or you could search for it. His shop is awesome and I think they have put it in a couple other jeeps. i am going to have him help me put it in mine. I think after the parts it costs around 100 bucks roughly.

just a side note possibility, you could get the rugged ridge light bar and there snorkel should be coming out at the end of this summer hopefully. its also a modular snorkel so you can have it as a full tall snorkel with a ram air intake/ pre filter or the short version for DD as a prefilter or ram air and its aiming for around 400 buck for it. i dont work for them but they do have some pretty bad as gear. as far as the roof rack im not sure which ones would work with it but they said it would work with a few and it will also accommodate dual batteries. but unfortunately they dont have any of the under hood pics yet. just a thought if your waiting to get this done.
