Default Snorkel question

I Was thinking about getting a snorkel but not sure if it's going to fit with the mirror relocation brackets i have! i moved them off the doors. does anyone have both? and will it fit. or will have to put the mirror back on the door on the pass side?

or if someone can post some pics of what they got.

also wondering if my windshield lights will get in the way

Thanks in advance

that looks awesome. i think it might be tight with the mirror relocation bracket. im not sure. but thanx for the pics i think my lights should clear it though. i don't care if i have to put the mirror back on the door. it would only be on the pass side anyway

That snorkel is horrible. It blocks the Rubicon sticker.

My home made one does fine.
LOL
Mirror actually supports snorkel with added stability.

I had to cut down the base of my rugged ridge bracket a bit and install a 1.5" custom made spacer to clear the mirror. Works great even with the door on. That 1.5" extension increased visibilty significantly.

Default Mirror spacer?

What did you make your spacer out of? I have similar set up and really like your mod. Aev snorkel boxed until I figure out how to address the mirror issue. Thanks
