Default Installing AEV's Snorkels

This client bought a snorkel from us a while back and recently came in to have it installed on his JK. Not having the AEV hood, a cut would need to be made to allow the part to fit correctly.

Layout for the hood cut:


The snorkel tube before installation (could that be a soft-air gun under that toolbox - well they DO have big mosquitos here):


The snorkel 'globe':


The rough cut in the hood is in:


Some of the hood mounting - quite sturdy:


More bracketry:


Finishing up with the hood trim ring:

i would probably have to hire someone to do that too. It'd be too hard to cut into my own jeep. Looks good so far, waiting for finished product pics!

Making the first cut is always the hardest! Once you get that outta the way, well, you gotta finish it so it gets much easier. I installed mine in under an hour. I love the sound it makes when yer heavy on the skinny pedel!
