Ernie, the typical community college reject who pretends to be an engineer on the internets, spewing his 'knowledge' to everyone because of a massive inferiority complex, oh and don't forget crawlin' the level 3 and 4 trails. Hardcore stuff. lol!

It does level 3s pretty well and yes those are Sahara wheels and tires.
4s are with this, I trailer my wheels behind my Jeep and swap.
Okay,
I did attend CC, it was for History.
I did contemplate dropping out of Engineering School when I failed Calculus I 3x.
But I stuck with it. I failed English. But Aced Engineering.
Level 3s and 4s are pretty tough for a Stock JKUR. A leveling kit and 32s and Rock Monster 35s
Back on Topic.
Here is what H1 Hummers have.

I am digging this one alot. I will order the small canister and mock up an adaptor to let me connect to the late model aev snorkel, unless i find some cool looking aluminum piping that will follow the lines of the jeep in a simular fashion to the aev.Should be interesting.

As I get older I've learned to appreciate craftsmanship! I wish I had more time.
Please keep us updated.

And if you feel real safari, try this.

Here is a UMP inside a Scout, it's on another forum.
He does have a hood level scoop.
This is very efficient and an alternative to Snorkel if you would like it hidden under hood.
This is the set up I would do for my JKUR.

Quote: "If you have ever done an air quality test. Rubber from tire wear is one on the most abundant particulats in air."
This is their size:
2.5 microns. One seventh of a human hair width. That's smaller than the average dust particles in your home.
Such particle are carried in the air as if a pre-filter and a snorkel weren't there. I don't think that an air filter blocks them.

This is not 'an alternative' to a snorkel... this is a snorkel...
....and I think you mentioned airborne rubber particles.

The canister style vortex boxes work well, but have to typically be very large to offer enough CFM. I ended up building a snorkel setup and went with a K&N Apollo in line airbox. It freed up a lot of space and had worked very well for the past two years. Used a custom battery tray to make it all fit.
