How about a mount in the bottom of the ram for a light mount and make a base for the drivers side for a light mount also

Still getting tooling cost back for review but so far looking good. Until we know our total cost for development I'm kind of in limbo.... As soon as I have news I will let you guys know.

The only thing I do not like is the location of the Air intake Pipe( A-pillar ). In front of the winshield. I know you design it so it will work with the light bar.

Can you make an Option to get a Air Intake Pipe( A-pillar ) for people without light bar ?

That way the A-pillar can be in front of the Pillar's Windshield without intruding in front of the winshield.

^^They made it to specifically work with their other products (aka lightbar and such). And it wouldn't be very cost effective to retool the whole snorkel again and sell two separate air intakes. If you wanted one that sits in front of the A pillar why not go with any of the other snorkels that are on the market that already do that? I'm just curious...

I believe RR posted an in-cab picture that showed that the snorkel did not impact the driver's vision that much. I understand your point about not having a light bar, but maybe this will give you an excuse to get that too...lol!

Anyone else find it frustrating that "ideas and wants" are still being thrown at the RR guys? Folks, they're done taking requests. Just sit back and enjoy the show now until it gets released! If you're not a fan, there are other options out there.

Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now. Subscribed to this thread and every time I see something has been posted, I get excited thinking a release date or price has been released. Instead it's someone who saw the subject but didn't bother to read the whole thread.

Another intended design feature is the intake being inside the A-Pillar to avoid being snagged by trees on the trail. It's also a modular design and the Daily driver mode would be the low mount and the tall intake is trail only.
