So I finally installed my high mount on the Rugged Ridge snorkel system and realized I have a problem. I've been running a 50" Rigid Industries light bar with Rigid's A pillar/windshield bracket for over a year now. After installing the high mount extension snorkel, the snorkel head is sitting against the light bar itself. Now I am unable to lower or raise the light beam as was beneficially in the past. It may cause vibrations and potentially loosen or damage either mod.
I've contacted Rugged Ridge who basically told me, oh well you should have bought out light bar which was designed to fit with the snorkel and said good luck without offering any suggestions. Great customer service attempt there RR 😒😡😤
Now the only thing I can think of modifying to fix this problem would be to bend forward or modify the reinforcement bracket that secures the back of the snorkel body to the A-pillar to bring it forward a bit away from the light.
Pics below...and note that the snorkel may not look level with the body but it is, it's just a devious picture

Does anyone run this setup or had this issue and fixed it easily? Thanks!

 

I don't really see a big problem there, at least with the pictures you posted, I can even see a few milimeters of clearance, I also don't see what you expect RR to do?
Why don't you run the low intake setup everyday and install the high mount when you go offroading and there is a chance of a river crossing or high water that might cause the engine to inhale some water?

Can you adjust the light bar mounting towards the back of the Jeep?

 

Well I figured RR may have received issues like this before and might have shed some light on the matter. I don't see how I can alter the light bar bracket...as for running the low mount for two weeks prior, it's been clogged with dirt and mud solely from on-road driving between melting snow and rain...and flushing all of that out took me over an hour

 

To be fair, RR did shed some light basically saying you probably should have done some research beforehand.

 

Yes, I see that you could easily could have posted that you contacted Rigid Industries because their mount hits the RR snorkel and then complained that they just told you that you should have bought a compatible snorkel.

The Wrangler is the vehicle that has the most aftermarket support in the world, a few accessories will not be compatible with others, you can't expect for the manufacturer to try every single option. Is up to the buyer to do the proper research.

 

I didn't post this to hear shit, I posted asking if anyone has advice or has run the same setup and corrected the problem with a DIY solution.
You should go work for their customer service departments, you could tell me the same thing they did instead of offering an idea. Thanks

 

But pardon me RR and RI, I like both your products. I'll just figure out a solution myself!
