Build your own snorkel
Who has done this? I'm thinking of doing it but I just want some ideas, opinions, and brainstorming before hand. I am very picky with not cutting corners when I fab my own stuff and cutting corners or just settling for a pos build that I do. So help me out. Ideas? Thoughts? Opinions? I will update this thread with pics as I do this unless my mind is changed to not do it...

One guy on here has one. I think it looks hideous but to each his own. I bought my AEV gen2. Took only a couple hours to install and looks awesome. Kept everything factory underneath the hood too.
But i have seen another build, it looked like a humvee style intake. That was a cool setup! Just google it, his pics can be found

I build an intake with custom battery box and cowl snorkel. I don't play in mud much, and it fits my needs well. Has a custom battery tray and aluminum flanges welded and bead rolled for the passthroughs. Uses a K&N Apollo sealed airbox.

I have seen
I have seen many who have made their own.
For the cost and time involved, something like the rugged ridge snorkel for 270$ Isn't too bad. Or a Chinese knockoff of the aev for 100 on ebay. I hate look of aev snorkel though. Much prefer river raider, rugged ridge for looks and style.
Thinking about selling my banks cai and getting snorkel some day!

This is very awesome. Good job man. I ended up buying a knock off on eBay and I will silicone the heck out of it to ensure it does it's job. Thanks all for the posts. I was originally gonna build my own but it will be to difficult with the small amount of room in my jk engine bay. I do wish I would have saw your post before buying it though because that is the best homemade one I have seen
