Just hydrolcked my motor. Splashed thru 10" of water 45' across, it filled up my stock airbox and bent a con rod. Thank goodness for my insurance ( Hartford Group ) they will cover the engine damage with a $500.00 deductible. Estimate of $ 4500.00 for a replacement engine. These jeeps need a better intake to the airbox. I will be snorkeling it as soon as it is out of the shop. 07 Rubicon, 3" lift, 33" tires, 9500 winch

FWIW, check w/ the eBay seller to make sure it comes with everything you need. Someone posted on the AEV forum that they got an eBay snorkel that was just the knock-off snorkel -- none of the brackets to mount it, or the bezel to make the hood cut look good. AEV doesn't appear to sell the brackets/bezel separately.
When I got mine, all the brackets survived and the snorkel was in great shape but I lost some fasteners in shipment (they don't use the best boxes). Took me one trip and $5 to get replacements and I was back in business.

I got the Ebay AEV style. Love it. I had all the metal parts powder coated and hit the snorkel with bed liner. So far it's been great. I also use a K&N filter with it and think it gave me some small power gains.

My MPG did go up 2-3. I put a steel stubby and and big 12,000 winch and now I'm back to the stock mpg. I take it easy, always under3,500rps and now get 24mpg@65mph and 19 around town. @75mph I drop down to 21mpg.
