so i have a little money to spend on the jeep and am stuck between two different mod routs, i can either....

change my stock rubicon shocks with adptors for rancho 9000 or ome (not lt)

or

add a 1 inch spacer in the front to cut the rake, add aev snorkel, quadratech floor mats and a rugged ridge licence plate holder

what would u do?

i dont hit that much water i really just want the snorekl for the cold air and as a insurance policy

 

Route 2. Rubi shocks are fine.

 

route 2 its more usefull

 

Number 2 much much more useful

 

2 it is then.
how much should i be paying to get the snorkel installed?

 

I'm curious too .... Price for a snorkel
What's a good brand AND labour cost$$
Thx

 

the main brands to look at are AEV, ARB, Violant, and another that iv forgotten the name of - sure someone will chime in on it. Rugged ridge is also in the process of developing on that does not require any hood cutting - there is a thread on it floating around in the forum.
im going with the aev.

 

You should do it yourself. It's super easy to do after you cut the first hole.

Around here labor is about $100 an hour, so they would charge $200-300+ for it.

For brands there's a few choices... AEV, Violant, River Raider (Just came out with their 2nd snorkel similar to the military H1 Hummers) and Rugged Ridge is in the works of their own snorkel.

 

I really like the look of the River Raider Snorkel

 

i also like the rr, do u know if there are any pictures of the exepdition style filter floating around the forum
