I don't see why it wouldn't work but i'm new to building 4X4s. I usually specialize in building custom tuner cars.

yikes thems some ugly looking snorkels there. usually you only see something like that or close to it in mud bog truck except the are the exhaust. thats just personally though. another personal opinion is snorkels are dumb unless they are needed but im not a hey my jeep looks cool kind of guy either. to each his own. if you like them then do it who cares what i think or another memebr thinks. its your jeep ugly it up how you want to. just like the guy with them lambo doors most hate them on a jeep but he didnt care same concept. as far as will it work? sure if you seal everything up i see no reason why it wouldnt work.

lol thank you all but in my opinion i'm building this to catch peoples attention and i don't wanna catch it in a negative way so it's back to the drawing board for me. I wasn't sure about it anyway lol.

the Moderator moved the thread to another portion of the Forum. just means it was put up in the wrong spot intially and helps keep the site oraganized if it goes where it's supposed to.

next thought what if you lowered the intake stacks so they weren't so tall? that might look sweet. redo the photo shop image.

The new design. Figured I'd do it up on a better looking jeep. Again, this is not my jeep.
