Sorry, couldn`t find a pic of the gal on the bumper with the JK tail fin, so this will have to do.
I'm sorry... but these damn teaser pictures are killing me! How can you honestly only post one picture???


MAN LAW: If you're going to post pictures of your hot wife/girlfriend, there must be multiple (for viewing angle) and they must be large (no thumbnails!). All in favor?!

This isn`t my wife or GF. It was I believe a photochop. I wanted to find a pic like this to describe my idea of a great functional snorkel. Just didn`t want to offend anyone on here ,so thats why I went with the photo chopped version.
But still a teaser .

I think the missing part of her leg should have clued some people in, but I guess not.

Nope - look more closely at her rear most leg, where its supposed to be behind that black boot...it fades away at the calf.

Question adaycj

The problems were only a few.
There was noise. At regular cruise it wasn't noticeable. At WOT it was loud. My CJ was loud anyway, so its not apples to apples.
On occasion there was a smell. Like half burned gas. It only lasted a minute when it happened, but did make me wonder how many hydrocarbons I was breathing the rest of the time. I could disconnect this thing, so it wasn't an issue for me.

I used flexible square tubing from a 70's Ford air cleaner to do the hookup. I was able to buy two rectangular hookups. I put one near the headlamp, and another on the firewall. I also made a cap. This way I could swap the tubing from the firewall to a location near the headlamp like stock. I only hooked up the firewall connection when I went off road where there was a risk of excessive dust or deep water. For that it worked great.

I won't exaggerate and make it sound like the stupidest idea ever because it is not, but I think a switchable or "connectible" system is a good idea if you route it to the passenger compartment.
So - air box had two holes in it. One routed to front of engine compartment and the other through firewall? Where did it enter the cab? At foot well or behind dash?

Thanks....
