Default Dual Battery and AEV Snorkel

Does anyone know if you can run a dual battery setup under the hood with a AEV snorkel?

It works just fine! I have the dual batteries and the AEV snorkel installed on my Jeep. I am at work right now, and will take some pictures when I get home this afternoon.

Awesome, thanks for the replies, pictures would be great. Do you have the Benchmark dual battery system? (I think that's who makes the all in one kit)

I do have the Benchmark kit. Highly suggest it!

Here's some pictures of the battery kit, and AEV snorkel installed. They don't interfere with each other at all.

Cutting that huge hole in the hood is the most difficult thing to do.. well not difficult really, just takes some guts to start the cut! haha

The dual battery kit is fully compatible with Gen 2 Ripp kit.

Very cool, if you could, please stop tempting me to pull the trigger on the supercharger setup

You should get WOL to try one of these kits out on all of those rocks he's always playing on
