For the antenna, I used an amplified antenna delete kit. It sticks on to the inside of the windshield. I put mine low across the bottom of the windshield so you can't see it. I am much happier, now that I don't have to listen to the antenna whip around in the wind.

I believe he was asking if RR would sell the hose to others that buy the RR not for the aev or other brand snorkels

ummm I would say he would, be a BIT crazy to only do it for 1

This would be a good comment IF you would have thought about the overhead of an offroad shop. I have a very good friend that owns a large offroad Co. and he and I have both dicussed this plenty. When you return a product to the place you purcased it, they don't eat the costs so you will be happy( not that, it would never or has not happened) they send it to their supplier for reimbursment to them. I really have no beef with either company, just trying to keep this all in perspective here. I hope this helps some. JOE>

What generation or model RR is that? Did you install the breather hose extension kit? - and what exactly is this for?

I almost didn't even see the snorkel. Looks great when matched to the body!
