cheap zj snorkel on Wj. YES
it does fit the body lines well. ALMOST perfect. im sure no one will know that its for a zj either. i have not plumed it yet as i need to go buy an air box but thought i'd show how well it fits, and only 150 bux. beats the 600+ arb one lol

[QUOTE=cherokeexj21;3134129]did you use the the template that came with it? Or did you do it by eye?[/QUOso
i mocked up the snorkel on the fender then marked where to drill the big hole. then after, i used a piece of cardboard and cut it to the inner shape of the snorkel and cut the giant hole in the template too, and poked holes in it where the bolts are supposed to go
then i matched the template to the giant hole drilled in the fender, and drilled out the small bolt holes. the A pillar mount just rests on the A pillar, but there is enough downward tension for it to stay put

im sure it will work great once its plumbed. if you read the first post you'd see that i still have to buy an air box to seal up. btw the one i put on my xj is sealed with a river raider box and it works awesome. and i would imagine that the 150 would help the motor last longer no? especially when im crossing through flooded roads, which i have to do from time to time.

Old fart with a wrench
Ignore him! Looks great. That brush guard need a low crossbar and lights! I think the whole rig looks fabulous. Is that a 4" long arm kit?

Jeep does look great. Hell I've seen people wheel the **** outta WJ. Plus you get the creature comforts an XJ can never provide, and I love my XJ let me tell you what. Some people just feel the need to make a negative comment on someone else's thread like this urge that itches at them.
One negative thing I'll say, or constructive criticism rather, ditch the brush guard and try to get a winch bumper or similar. Unless that is you do have pull points up front
