Default Another Snorkel Question
I want to buy a snorkel on ebay for $160 shipped. It is basically an exact replica of the ARB snorkels. My question is, will the snorkel get in the way of the door opening and closing? If so, what do I need to do?

Yes - the snorkel designers want you to enter/exit the Jeep from the passenger side.

True. I installed an ARB and it comes with the center console relocation bracket so you can easily scoot over from the passenger side. Theres a conveyor belt upgrade but it was 250$ and I wanted to spend that on the flux headlight fluid.

True, but they just pack their products full of toxins, usually they fit nicely.

The Chinese are good at measuring the part they are copying.

I'll remind myself that the snorkel isn't edible when I get it.

I suppose, it just looks like the mirror would hit the snorkel when the door is opened all the way.

Heh, if you put those packets in your mouth they sound like pop rocks.




Not kidding.
