Snorkel
I'm looking to buy my first snorkel. I don't have to much money to spend but I want something to keep me safe. Any ideas for the most cost effective snorkel?

I'd save your money and get something else for your Jeep. Snorkels look cool and help draw in clean air, but if your worried about getting water in your intake you'll also need to extend all your breather lines; and what are you going to do with all the electronics located under the hood? Good luck with the Jeep

Apparently you're not getting too much help brother. Check out the modular Rugged Ridge snorkel, it looks nice and is on my list when they come out for the '12. I stalled going through a puddle in this JK after never seeing anything of the sort in 7 years of driving a silverado. The Rugged Ridge has no major cutting but you have to take off the fender to install. Your other main option is the ARB where you have to cut a hole in your hood, but everybody says its fine. The benefit of the rugged ridge is the modular aspect so you can run the low mount most of the time.

Not getting help?
He said COST EFFECTIVE... those are all around $400 and have smaller filters and the BIGGEST problem? THEY ARE NOT REBUILDABLE. You smack that plastic snork into a tree and your out ANOTHER $400 to replace it. Mine is modular, and BEEFY. When it gets tree bashed I just spray more bedliner on it.
When you get into Jeeping you have to decide if you want to bust your knuckles, or your Amex.
