Default Any snorkels compatible with a light bar?

I'm looking at adding a snorkel but I currently have an MBRP light bar. from what I've seen the light bar will interfere with the snorkel. Are there any brands of snorkels that are compatible with a light bar?

Thanks

Im in the same boat as you. There's 2 options as of now and neither of them appeal to me. First is the River Raider one that sits right in front of your windshield light on the passenger side and the other is a do it yourself mod that I'm not really fond of which basically comes out the same as the RR but for a bunch less in costs. I've been waiting for the rugged ridge one since they promise it'll work but it hasn't seen the light of day yet and wont be available for purchase for quite some time. I think I may just chop the lightbar and weld up a bracket to work with the AEV or something.

Seriously. I waited as long as I could. I finally went with the AEV and am very happy with it. I don't have a light bar (yet). However, I have seen/heard it works with the Gobi light bars. I'm not sure about the MBRP though.

It doesn't work with the MBRP. I actually tried to physically mount one and there are too many clearance issues. The only way it to modify the lightbar. If RR isn't putting there's out anytime soon I just may wind up slicing the MBRP one up and using the AEV.

That's good to know. I can strike that one off my list. FYI, Ballz6speed just posted up a pic of the Gobi stealth bar fitting nicely with the AEV in another related thread.

Forum memeber Markdsv made a new slimmer horizontal windshield post to support the MBRP rack, and mounted the AEV snorkel in same place.
