If so, wouldn't be bad being possibly the only one in NZ rocking your guys snorkle.
Would love to have it on mine
Hard to say... It's a mirror to our LHD's... Do you have a 6speed or Auto? Also is it the gas motor... (3.8L , 3.6L)?

It's an Auto with the 3.8L petrol.
From my limited mechanical eye, the air intake seems to be in the same spot as the RHD. I'm just not too sure about the other bits around it.

Looking at the size and location of the brake booster and where the ABS systems hard lines run I do not think this will work for RHD export models....

If everything is mirrored it looks like the hard lines for the brake system run very close to where the aluminum intake tube runs up along the frame (between shock tower and exhaust).

looking good RR il be setting aside some money from my tax return and it will just be there waiting on the release keep up the good work. the only real concern i have is how well it will hold up in mild-water crossing/ puddle splashing . thanks for the updates.

Do you think this kit will work with the Smittybilt XRC Armour fenders?
