I really like how there is no cuts to the hood. Its alota steps and looks like it will take a full day (for me) but the directions are great quality. I was about ready to pull the trigger on the AEV one but now... hmmmm

For those of you who have it.. does it stick out and block any of your view while driving? Also, do you think it will really be water proof? They have you using alot of sealant.

 

Looks great.

 

Would kc windshield mount brackets work with this?

 

I haven't taken it swimming, but the fit is tight on everything, I think the sealant is just a little insurance.

It is definitely visible, but isn't a significant obstruction.

As far as I understand, no. Some people are relocating lights to the bumper or getting a light bar to mount around the windshield frame

 

Besides installing a snorkel isn't there anything else we need to do to prevent water intake in the mechanical parts such as differentials, transmission, etc? Or everything else is good to go? I had the impression to read somewhere about vents that could let water in. They are OK for shallow fording that would not even require a snorkel.

Any experience with this?

 

Definitely want to extend the breather hoses for the axles, t-case and transmission.

I am jealous you we're able to install yours before me, I'll be tackling this in the morning. Looks great.

I installed mine, and love how it doesn't block my view, with the short mount you can't tell you have it while driving, also my thoughts exactly I wonder if it's water proof with all that sealant, only one way to find out!

 

Unfortunately not with RR's full length snorkel. I delayed purchasing a snorkel and waited for RR to finalize their snorkel, now it is, Ive bought an AEV snorkel so can keep the windshield lights.
