I just preordered one from Bikini OffRoad in San Antonio. Their vendor rep says they have two with the high mount extension arriving in the Dallas warehouse March 5th and I have one if them! Hopefully one week from now I will be installing.

Sorry guys, been away from the forum for a bit...
I'll hit the easy questions first and post tomorrow with some more detail images for you. We are installing one on our 2013 giveaway Jeep so timing is good.....
(1) Yes there were changes made to the box. To work correctly with the 3.6L we
added (4) clamps used to secure the OE upper air box to the lower section,
and the 3" air tube extension has been made longer.
(2) Should be here mid-to-late March.
(3) High mount, low mount, and main body are the same... no changes there.
(4) Yes a pre-cleaner can fit and we will be offering one soon.
(5) Aluminum air tube has been reworked for a more direct air flow.
(6) I believe work-arounds were found for the Gobi racks already... High mount
has not changed so would still work.
(7) W/S light brackets should work with the low mount option. If you plan to
run the high mount you will need to remove the passenger side bracket.

hello Rugged ridge,
i recently got your item when it was first released and have been very pleased with it thus far. except recently when i went to clean my air filter i noticed that 2 of the clamps were not tightly secured to the upper air box. not to mention i would doubt they would keep the box water tight. i was wondering if it would be possible to make this better or fix this issue with out haveing to buy a whole new snorkel kit seen how i recently bought this item. thank you
