Ditto. I was offered a ridiculously good deal on an AEV the other day and turned it down in anticipation of this snorkel design. I can't wait to see what it looks like and how it works cuz everything I have heard so far sounds ideal.

If we have a hard model that we know does not have fitment issues we spend less time and $$ on rapid prototype media. That stuff aint cheap.

The yellow circles show the two areas I'm talking about.
If this design proves to be functional wrt airflow, IMHO, it is flat out the best looking snorkel product on the market. Perhaps a "mini mushroom" will cap the overall piece?

You really have a distinct opportunity to make a signature product that just embodies the word "Jeep".

Queue me up for an order on the release date...

Also I guess for that design to happen i'd just have to get a different light bar...which sucks but hey you know. A sacrafice for perfect.

You know its a shame there isn't a "Camel Trophy" style event for Jeeps. I would think it could work economically (if done reasonably and with sustainability in mind) and be an awesome advertising scheme for Jeep.

I'd imagine you'd have thousands of jeepers applying for a spot...and probably volunteering their own rigs as well...

You should offer us a kit, that includes a windsheild light bar, a snorkel, windshield mount light brackets. Prefereably a low profile light bar.
