But no pics??? Come on :-)

Went with the rugged ridge. Pretty simple install. Only problem was the gap it left between the base and the windshield. So we cut the old cowl piece, tach welded it to the side panel and no more nasty gap.

Nah- i used the factory air box and a 12" K&N so all the debris collects there. FYI i use a cig to test vacuum before deep crossings as ive seen more than one snorkel fail during wheeling
