As a new Jeep Gladiator Rubicon owner who swore I would never buy a Jeep, you are a Rockstar. Now I can get to fishing holes most people can't access without walking miles. Thank you.

I understand the utility of the high mount but, I agree with Eddie on the low mount, if you're in water deep enough for the low mount to be an issue, you got bigger problems.

This video is the one that convinced me to get the RR AmFib Snorkel. LOVE IT! I switch back and forth from Snorkel to Cold Air side cowl intake. I really liked the idea of not having to cut a hole in the side of the hood and the install was very easy. If you've done any kind of installs of anything on a vehicle, this is simple. One thing I did pick up from another install video was to rotate the clamps so the screw adjustment is under the intake tunnel, this keeps you from scraping your arms or snagging your shirt on the worm screws. Also, I've seen the exterior snorkel and cowl parts painted to match the jeep from another YT video, and it looks super sharp. One thing that also should be mentioned, do not tighten the clamps too tight (What me?), especially if you live in a warm climate, as the plastic on the connectors will deform. I did that, but with a little careful use of a heat gun was able to get them back into the proper shape. A suggestion is that RR beef up the plastic connectors where the rubber tunnel connects with a thin metal strip on the inside of the tunnel that is pop rivetted to the plastic to reduce the likelihood of the tunnel deforming from someone tightening too much on the worm screws. I'm thinking of trying the metal strip myself if I see the plastic deform again. As for a lightbar, I've purchased, not yet installed, an interior light bar that mounts on the inside of the windshield looking out, because of the roof mounted lightbar support conflict, to reduce road noise (More aerodynamic) and well, I liked the stealthiness of the interior lightbar (One less item to snag on tree limbs and one less thing for "sticky hands" to snag from your rig). Don't know how LEOs will view the legality of a lightbar not being covered on road, it's technically not an "exterior" light, but does shine to the outside, I guess I will find out soon.

Is it okay to leave the stock intake line at the bottom disconnected as it is? Or, is it possible to use the stock intake line at the bottom while keeping it connected? Because, embarrassingly, I’m installing the snorkel for 'looking good' purposes, and I rarely go off-road. Thank you for always posting videos that are helpful for beginners. Your KZbin channel has been such a great blessing to my Jeep life.

If you're referring to what I think you are, that air duct needs to be removed in order for the air box to be reinstalled. That said, if you're just doing all this for looks, just install the cowl and the snorkel and leave everything under the hood out.

Great video. If you've ever seen someone do Cape York in Australia, you'll understand why you really want this to be waterproof. Considering you can't really legally run 40's here (only 2 inchs bigger than stock) and maximum a 2 inch lift (although people run bigger) the higher and more waterproof you can get that snorkel, the better. Great product, appreciate the level of detial provided in the video.

About the snorkel, I haven’t watched a lot of installation videos with other brands, but this is the only one I’ve seen in which you don’t have to drill holes or cut into the vehicle. By the way, your Jeep is exceptionally nice, one of the best I’ve seen.

Which would allow water to inter the bottom of the air box. And stay there until you open that white drain valve. All of the air box adapter is below the air filter as is the drain plug. Why not seal the airbox adapter to the air box? It comes out in one piece.

@@wayalife That's why I'm asking the question. If AEV states NOT to plug any holes then why are they giving you a drain system? AEV is asking to plug only part of the air box? I'll guarantee if you take that air box assembly and submerge it in water just below the air filter you see how fast it will fill up, the more it fills up the more your engine will starve for air. They did such a good good of engineering the snorkel assemble, I just don't understand why they would want you to seal the COMPLETE bottom of the airbox? Just an observation. You have great videos. Thanks

@@dougharlow6037 The bottom of my air box sits about 44" off the ground. If I'm fording water deeper than that, there's a lot more I'd be worried about than getting water in my engine. That being said, I couldn't tell you why one companies does things one way and another does it another. I simply showed all the steps Rugged Ridge instructed to do so that others could benefit from it. I would suggest you contact them to see what their reasons are.

I like everything but the top part of the snorkel. A rely thought out product except for that. It just says branch catcher and rip me off. A more angled back one blending into the rest of the tube would solve this. I would buy this product, but modify that head thing. So I guess I need a jeep gladiator first to do it.

The low profile snorkel looks the best. I think the idea of bringing in fresh ambient air would be the main usefulness of this item,rather than under hood temps. Although in colder climates it may make the motor run different. If your in water over that you will have other areas that water can enter,like differentials/transfer case breathers,any electrical connection that hasn't been waterproofed,etc.

Looks cool, and it certainly is watertight. I have one concern and one comment.. My concern is that it's gonna whip around at highway speeds because it's not fixed to the A pillar. My comment is this.. Snorkels are not only fitted to prevent water ingress into the airbox, they are also good to get the air intake up high away from dust blown up by the tyres.

LOL - a vast majority of people who say that are the same people who will NEVER need to use their snorkel. That being said, IF you plan on going that deep, it would be smart to extend your axles, transmission and transfer case breather hoses to a higher location. Going to the air box is one way to do it but far from needed.
