Interferrence problems?
Can someone tell me if this snorkel installation effects the door opening all the way on the passenger side.
Does it attach also to the windshield, or can the windshield still be folded down?
Can the mirror on the door still be used and door opened?
Thanks

There is not a conflict between the door and the snorkel. I can still open the door all the way.
There is not a conflict between the mirror and the snorkel.I used the AEV hood, but I think it is a safe assumption that cutting the factory hood would weaken the hood.
I hope this info helps you guys with your decision. I am very pleased with the AEV snorkel.

No, I don't work for AEV-just a customer.
I believe the public release of the snorkel in Overland Journal was earlier than Dave would have liked which explains the lack of availability.

I must be biased the other way - the RR has no means of clearing water entering the tube - it can only go down into the airbox
Both ARB and AEV incorporate a water siphon. Also I would not want to drive the RR any distance in heavy snow as the intake is fixed in a forward position.
Yes the RR might look nice but a snorkle is ALL about function, and 'huge?' to ease the passage of air into the intake rather than force right angle bends

Man I want this snorkel bad 
Looks like I might have to get the AEV Hood...or say screw it and cut my hood, not to sure it would weaken it that much.
