Plus I am very confident that the diff fluid is not going to expand into my air box.
As well is anyone running the snorkel with a drop in K&N, any increased power, throttle response, etc?

Bellows caps sound like a good idea, since they would leave it sealed but allow the expansion and contraction, my only concern would be, again, an overfill situation an how that would affect the caps. Oil isn't as forgiving as air, and you could rupture a bellows without knowing.

Need snorkel
Just hydrolcked my motor. Splashed thru 10" of water 45' across, it filled up my stock airbox and bent a con rod. Thank goodness for my insurance ( Hartford Group ) they will cover the engine damage with a $500.00 deductible. Estimate of $ 4500.00 for a replacement engine. These jeeps need a better intake to the airbox. I will be snorkeling it as soon as it is out of the shop. 07 Rubicon, 3" lift, 33" tires, 9500 winch

FWIW, check w/ the eBay seller to make sure it comes with everything you need. Someone posted on the AEV forum that they got an eBay snorkel that was just the knock-off snorkel -- none of the brackets to mount it, or the bezel to make the hood cut look good. AEV doesn't appear to sell the brackets/bezel separately.
