But those are relatively small changes when you consider most generations have huge differences...

Like f150s... eclipses... all kinds of cars.

 

Oh yeah, I can see how people couldn't tell a difference if they weren't into XJs. To me it looks totally different. I've been wanting a late model so I just swapped the late model clip on to suffice until I'm ready to buy one.

 

Thoughts on the $130 ish dollar snorkels on ebay? I was thinking about making one out of 2 1/2 pvc but with what thatd cost + a dryer vent to top it with I could have a cleaner looking install if I get this kit. The concerns I have is this dam thing leaking, not giving the motor enough air and it catching rain when driving down the road.

This ones $120.

 

Do you actually wheel water deep enough to need it?

 

Eh I avoid water cause I fear hydrolock, like a kid afraid of the dark. I like how they look even if I dont use it. Just dont want it to fail if I do need it.

 

That looks like it will fail if you sneeze within 20 feet...

 

Why?

 

I used to think they looked cool too.
Until I thought about how cool it would look when they are getting mangled going down tight trails.

 

True, but I don't do tight trails, or atleast haven't had the opportunity to. But I could do these.

 

Bettern this sht...

 

there was a seller here from China selling that same kit above and tons have bought it... no complaints yet that i have seen...

 

Ya Im sure the "American seller" Is selling chinese products that he has just had shipped to America. I am all for buying American but theres no reason the ARB kit should be $400+ its just pieces of plastic. If it was $150-$200 Id order it over chinese.

 

Did he ever get in touch with you?? I'd personally stay away from a zj. I've never owned one but all my friends ones are crap. They just seem poorly made in my opinion.

 

Cheap plastic between intake and elements.... no thanks..

Saw a wrangler suck up water cause the seal on the fender (something along those lines) failed. May not be anything wrong, but I won't run em. They are the equivalent to lift blocks to me.

Wat?

*EDIT* sorry.. didn't realize this thread was 411 pages...

 

he bugged me all weekend to make sure i didnt sell it - i text him sat. and told him i was about to trade it for a dodge 1500 xtra cab 4x4. it had low miles, budget boost and would have made a good tow rig, but i passed cuz he swore he would call me monday - iv tried calling him and he has yet to call me back. oh well. i dont hate my jeep - just wanted a little extra room and really just wanted another project - i dont get attached to vehicles.
