Hi all,
I've the AEV snorkel on my JKU with air ram, but on next saturday i'll leave for a 3 weeks trip to Iceland and therefore I get a prefilter to replace the air ram.
I installed it today but I see that I'd have cutted the snorkel top in order to get it fitted right.
Do you've any expirience in running pre filter without cutting the top? Do you know any particular issue with this?
Because I'd prefer to let it like is it actually, since i'll mount the air ram as soon as I'll be back from Iceland.
Thanks

 

If I'm not mistaken there is no need to cut the extra bit off the top of the snorkel "tube" for the prefilter. I believe the benefit of cutting the extra bit off is to keep the prefilter flush with the top of the jeep. If you don't trim it it will just be up a few inches higher and maybe look a little goofy. Have fun on your trip and take pictures!

 

Thank you
Sure I will. I bought an action camera for this reason!!!

 

No need to cut other than aesthetics. That said, cutting WILL impact how the ram air works when you swap back.

 

i run both tops. i ddnt cut the the tube. no issues. now i do use a self tapping screw on both tops to keep it fro comming off on the highway. ask me how i kow. lol

 

I bought the Air Ram w/ my snorkel. I am planning on getting the pre-filter too, but I didn't want the AEV pre-filter. Take a look at Donaldson Pre-Filters. Their TopSpin line looks really well suited for dusty environments.

 

Why one or the other. Just curious. Why the ram air & why pre filter ?

 

I second this...Have a fantastic time on your trip to Iceland. When I was in the Air Force, Keflavik NAS (Naval Air Station) was my first duty assignment back in 2003 and I had a blast.

Some spots you may want to check out are Gulfoss Falls, Glacier Bay, the Geysir (when I was there you could litterally walk right up to the edge of it) and The Blue Lagoon. Also, check and see if you can get a ride with the 4x4 club up there...(this is one thing I wasn't able to do when I was there but it looked pretty awesome)

Anyway, have a great time and a safe trip.

 

It's an old thread just trying to get info on snorkel before I buy one so I don't have to start another thread and have trolls telling me to check out the threads before I make new one

 

That's great... I just put on my snorkel today and would hate to lose that piece... glad I checked here... thx
