Im looking to get a snorkel for my jeep. I do a lot of deep mud and water crossing. I was looking into the river rader snorkel. Anyone ever use these guys? Any other recommendations?

There are a few guys on here running the River raider Snorkel. They say nothing but good things about it. I'm seriously considering this upgrade or the Rugged Ridge Snorkel Both don't require cutting into the hood and both don't have a ridiculous tube running down the side of the hood as well.

There are a ton of people who reccomend this snorkel I have never heard a bad thing about if. If you plan on doing a lot of crossing i would say go for it.

Personally I was just looking for "insurance" on a hydro lock as i dont go looking for deep water crossings but have found myself in deep water or mud out on the trails wishing I had a snorkel... and i just didnt like the look of the river raider snorkels or the other options (like AEV and volant).

For something more clean with no cutting involved I went with the rugged ridge snorkel . I keep it at a low mount but you can add the high ram mount on it for deeper crossings.

Not sure if you've already extended your breather hoses but river raider also makes a kit for that which has had great reviews

Here's my snorkel:

I'm not a fan of the look of any of them. I just want the insurance for deep mudd pits. Water crossings. Ect.
