Thanks. I am sorry I missed those posts. I stopped reading this thread awhile ago because it was getting boring.

However I really like that routing. It is a lot better than I expected.

 

Wow... I just finished reading every post in the thread.. It's been a long haul. Would have been about a third as long if folks would take the time to read before asking the same questions over and over...

That said, RR, nice work.

The install is pretty straight forward and I've already had the sawzall & cutoff wheel on my 2011, so not much of a big deal to cut a little behind-the-scene sheet metal.

The pre-filter option is pretty much perfect for what I need. I recently installed a Banks CAI and I can't lie...I worry about ingesting water during my daily commutes.

The only worry I have is the length of metal pipe and the clamps needed to assemble it being so low. If I am following the setup details, that stretch of pipe is easily accessible from below correct? So it might be easy enough to inspect the pipe and clamps periodically.

I'd love to see some close-up images of the low intake setup.. just to see the cosmetic details. Not sure that the stack is useful for how I use my JK.

 

You guys, are a bunch of wannabee n00bs, sounds like the kind of pussies that will rock the stick on version.

 

Hahahahahahaha

 

can someone explain to me how the low intake is better then stock. I mean, i dont want the tall stalk, but like the idea of being able to splash a little bit more and go a little deeper in the water. so the lower one would work for me, right? Is it actully higher then stock inlet?

 

Yes it is a little higher, also you have that "U" curve before water can get to the actual air box, so that gives u a little insurance and last, if you dip the nose you have more space and depth to get to the air intake, you can dip the hole hood before having water in... I think is still better than stock to have the lower intake.

 

Thanks for the info. I figured it was better, just wasnt sure why. Wish it was going to be available for Christmas.

 

so i was browsing through the SEMA thread and found this....

looks like the pricetag is gonna be at $399.99....can we get some confirmation on this and when it will be released to the public???

 

Sorry, I have really like my Rugged Ridge OMIX-ADA gear so far, but I just could not wait any longer. We had a hurricane predicted to make landfall here, so I pulled the trigger and ordered the AEV snorkel.
AEV is a known quantity, and simple (if not blunt) design.
I really would have liked to get this clean RR design, rather than the AEV. The Rugged Ridge design is sooooo much better than Volant (Volant engineers should be banished for that mess).

The JKL has been out for 5 years now. That's half of the predicted model life-cycle. If you guys want to be successful in business, you've got to jump in earlier in the model life-cycle. Whatever the JKL replacement turns out to be (I'll start the rumors now: next model Wrangler is code named: JFD for Jeep Fiat Diesel) you gotta be first or second to market.

 

The sign said "msrp 399.99." Maybe there could be a preorder discount for us so we can show them off to the world and bring in more business for RR. I still love the design and I've been given the go ahead when it comes out. I guess the question is, when can we start placing orders??
