Default AEV Snorkel and Front Runner Rack

Anyone running the AEV snorkel and the Frontrunner Rack? I'm interested if there is any interference between the windshield support of the rack and the mounting of the snorkel.

I can take pictures of it later today. My boss has the Front Runner (Slimline 2 extreme JK) rack and the AEV snorkel... to the best of my knowledge it works together flawlessly. I'l post again later today. Hope this helps!

There ia zero interference. They go together like they were made for each other. There has been no problems whatsoever. It looks great also.

That does look good. Both of them together look better than either one of them apart.

Now be VERY VERY careful, I made the same mistake with my Gobi rack. The GEN2 snorkel (the only one avl. now) does not fit with ANY rack except the AEV. I had to send my snorkel back because it didnt fit. I am sure the GEN1 will fit. I had to track down a GEN1 for my gobi and they fit great.

I'm running the Gen 2 snorkel with a Kongo Cage. Other than the mod to the left front mod that had to be done with even the 1st Gen there was no problems installing it.

the pillar brackets on the front runner rack are only like 1/8 0f an inch thick... if there is at least that much space between your pillar and the intake, the FRO rack will work for your application.
Honestly, my bosses JK is the reason I want one in the first place. Off road ready, bumper to bumper it's just what I want.... and best of all...... it's girl driven and off-roaded weekly!
