Default Snorkel Compatable with Wild Boar Cargo Rack

I am looking at purchasing a snorkel that will work with my Wild Boar Cargo Rack. I bought the rack and now that I live in England a snorkel is a little bit more of a necessity than it was before. Any ideas?

Do you have a picture of your Wild boar cargo rack on how it mounts to the windshield? I know NorthernWrangler had no issues with an AEV snorkel on his gobi rack.

This is one pic. It is not the best either. The rack does no line up with the window frame so it does stick out just a little. Tomorrow when the sun is out u will try to get a better picture.

By looking at the picture I would say "Yes" you will be able to fit an AEV snorkel on your JK However, you would have to relocate your mirrors back to your door.

Has anyone tried to mount a snorkel after installing the wild boar cargo rack?

I got the Gobi Rakcs with Volant Snorkel / CAI, but it seems it would be the same. You just need to get longer screws and build spacers.

I've just checked the Wild Boar website and they have designed a Snorkel to fit with their roof rack. I really like their roof rack but I don't like the way their snorkel looks.

The thing with their snorkel is that it is fiberglass. But I do like how they have it designed to mount without cutting the hole in the side
