I think you did a great job. One thing I love and would request is a detailed installation video. I think these are great to supplement with a manual. Like just a YouTube video. Again, great job man.

ALSO remember that a lot of people wanted the snorkel to work with a dual battery tray.... This design allows that..

I can understand.... It's just been a really long year with a lot of repeat post on this subject. We have tried to let everyone know from the begining that there was some cutting but that it is hidden away and would allow you to take your Jeep back to stock if you desired. In other words, no big visible holes cut into your cowl, hood, or side of fender.

I like it!!! Not a lot of cutting.....i think just removing the fender is what is scaring everybody.
What is the anticipated release date and approx cost?
I will more than likely be pulling the trigger on this but will have to order from the USA as most of the Canadian distributors tend to mark it up way too much! Not Stan @ Northridge though!

If removing the fender is the scary part for most? What about doing a suspension lift guys? If you have done work on that this is a piece of cake. I guess I just don't understand why some of you guys complaining about installation on this thread. Look at the actual finished product and design should be the talk here.
Remember as we were kids. Jeeps are like legos. Take it apart and put it back together in pieces. Really simple. :-)

Looking good, love that it will work with dual batteries. Good stuff!
Now I need to look at what it will take to adapt it to work with the RIPP Gen 2 Supercharger and ensure it works with the Gobi roof rack and I'm good to go.
Thanks for taking time for the updates. Keep up the great work.

Extending the lines at this time would be a good idea. I have explained earlier in the thread why we are not attaching it to the snorkel. With the fender off it just gives you a hiding place to route the tubes up to the cowl area if desired.
As for a video, yes we will be putting one together for this and most of all our future products.
