I'm about to buy a snorkel just wondering what you guys recommend to cut the hole in the bonnet? Thanks.

Rugged ridge, no cutting required and cheaper then the rest!

I went with Rugged Ridge on my 2013 JKU as I didn't want the upper portion on all the time, cleaner look in my opinion.

Easy install and only had to trim the fender.

Used it last Saturday and I think it saved my bacon in one spot as it turned out to be deeper than I thought.

I have owned other snorkels in the past and as long as you us it as a back up not a true under water event, they work well.

I understand how to install. just unsure on how you used the the kit with the post 2012 3.6 engine and airbox?

jkjouster

that doesn't look like a 3.6 if im not mistaken lol

Hammerstien

No it isn't but gives you an idea of what's involved with the install

Rugged ridge hasn't made the snorkel compatible with the 2012 yet but rumors are that this spring/summer we will see either an update to the current snorkel or a new kit all together to work with the 2012.

I also vote rugged ridge, I have it on my 09 and I wouldn't go any other way.

+1 to that. My avatar pic is of the install.
