I might very well pick up the river raider semi-snorkel (?) as my next mod! Thanks fellow Jeepers!
Was it hard to install? I'm thinking some grinding or cutting into the body, which is OK. No welding, hopefully? Don't want to spend a bunch of money getting a welder!
Also, does the snorkel help with MPG and/or HP?

If this is the snorkel you mean, no welding required. Just cutting into the cowl and firewall. Its a nice kit - has good instructions and very complete.
I did see a little perfmance gain, but its hard to quantify. I also tied my breathers to my airbox at the same time.

So you can route your diff breathers to the airbox? I never knew that! Pics?

I don't see the advantage of running your breathers to your airbox other than the extended height will now match the snorkel height. Is there a chance that blowback from the diffs can be sucked back into the air intake?

It extends the length of the breathers and seals them to the airbox so you dont get water in them. I seriously doubt you would get any blowback but IF you did it wouldn't do any harm. Not sure about the JK but most vehicles have the crankcase breather routed to the airbox from the factory.
