No you're not. It does. But you got to watch what you say on this forum and how you say it. People get their panties in a bunch with even the slightest of disagreement.

I like it... other than the tip... But that's just my opinion.

Consider it "yoinked" (it's not stealing if you say yoink! )

Like I told the OP im not offended. That's just your opinion if you don't like it fine. But that doesn't mean someone else won't. I've gotten alot of complements on my snorkel. People have different tastes. You can't please everybody. Im sure there are probably things about your cherokee that I might not like or agree about. But hey that would just be my opinion. It doesn't bother me when people critique my builds or projects. If they chose to change things to make it there own. Than good for them.

Hey thanks man. Yea I don't know why people get in such an uproar about other peoples projects and fab jobs. If you don't like it then big deal don't post in the thread. If you do like it and feel you may do something different to make it your own then great go for it. I don't know why people can't be polite and respectful of other peoples builds. But anyway im rambling on here. Hey thanks again for saying you like my design. Change what you like and post up what you did to it. That way people can see if it works or looks even better.

You could probably use some 3M double sided adhesive tape they use to apply side moldings and emblems to cars with. Its pretty strong and durable. Just attach it to the straight piece of pipe going up the a-pillar and then when you have it pretty much in the location you want it peal off the other side and attach it to the a-pillar. You may have to hold it there with some pressure long enough for it to bond and hold on its own, but it should work.
