Yeah, you've already given us a lot of info, we'll be building off your ideas if you put i off too long.



I'll be following this until you're selling them.

Wow dude, you've got 5 years of JK owners looking to buy this snorkel and you're with holding the production so you can tweak it to fit the 2012 as well? Ride the current model and design a MkII model when you can get a 2012 to play with.

I won't be waiting, and Im willing to bet that alot of people wont be either. Very dissapointing.

LOL, but the 12s will probably be coming out about the time this product does. Things take a while to get moving.

Yes it does....but we are still moving forward and will adress the 12's when they get here. Basic design will still work. Will just need to make it a stand alone part and will work on it at that time.

Still working on a mid-2011 release date.... Never promised anything other than late spring to early summer at best. Noted that at the very begining of the thread.

Wish things like this could move faster but plastics and tooling take a little work. Has to be correct before you pull the trigger and go and tool it up.

I will promise a good number of really cool new products at SEMA this year. They will keep you adding to your wish list... We recently got in our 2011 "Mango Tango" show Jeep and will be building it out for the show.

I hear you in that just the tooling/die making can set you back the cost of 10 brand new rigs.

Subscribed.

Will only buy if it is compatible with Benchmark's dual battery tray. Would be great if it worked with a RIPP supercharger (or if it could at least be modified to make it compatible). I understand these are difficult to accomplish, but I've never seen Rugged Ridge *not* take on a challenge.

I'm holding off on the AEV, pending updates to this thread.

Good luck!

I'd like to see one that that replaces the factory windshield frame and is built into it as though it wasn't there but that's probably some major rework of the dash and cowl. Hey, you asked.....
