River Raider is one that alot of jeepers like. Ask Mrsig here. And AEV is another one.

[MrSig]

River Raider is the way to go! They work great and can take any trail you put it on!

[WRider]

River Raider is really one of the best place to go to...
Check out their site and you'll see some of their nice creations like those pics above...

MRSIG, did you modifie the air intake system when you added the snorkel. I definately like your snorkel much better than the one made by AEV.

Nope Been though a bunch of washes! They only mess with your CB Antenna if you forget to remove it!

I just got the AEV with the ARB ram air top, I didn't like the bird feeder look of the AEV pre-filter... I can't do a RR because of the EVO Armor and was kinda worried about denting it if i did get it.
If you can get over drilling a 3" hole in your fender, the RR looks good.

volant has one in the works, but who knows when we'll see it.

is the RR one plastic?

No the River Raider is all metal construction... pretty solid too, I am sure Mr. Sig can attest to that... but I am sure it would dent given a good whack.

[HitMoney]

I got the AEV snorkel with the ARB Ram Air top installed before I went to Jeeptoberfest..

I likey alot!

[swoll50]

looks great. what kinda drilling was involved there? i actually like the lines of that one better than the RR.

No drilling... but you do have to cut the hood to the provided template, unless you have the AEV Heat Reduction Hood.

I like the RR as well, but I prefer this one. The AEV will also work with my future dual battery setup whereas the RR wouldn't.

[swoll50]

haven't done a seach, but how'd you do the net in the rear? was that JK-specific or did you fit it from another application?

A lil pricey, but worth it to me!

[RickM610]

Hey Hitmoney, your JK looks just like mine on steroids... Awesome looking Jeep! Does your snorkel allow you to bring the windshield down or is it attached to it?

I think all snorkels attach to the windshield one way or another. That is why I refuse to put one on my TJ.

You could probably install a long arm lift in the amount of time and an equal amount of hassle in putting down a JK windshield.. Not only that but I am not planning on a Caribou hunt anytime soon so I have no need to put it down... LOL!

This snorkle would be gone if it were on my jeep!
I also have the River Raider that is made of heavy gauge aluminum.
The trails and Gator ponds I've been in with no damage to my snorkle and no water getting into my engine is proof that I got my money's worth.
I've hit some good size branches and the snorkle actually prevented the windshield from being smashed.

I don't see how it would be "Gone" ... but ok. I like the RR too, but this one fit my application better.

This past weekend i put it in water up to the hood... no problem, hit branches.. no problem.

I'm glad yours works as good as mine...

Volant is coming out with a snorkel kit for the JK's to match their intake system. They are releasing it at the SEMA show during the first week of nov. After that i'll be able to get them, and based of the TJ system they are the best snorkel/ intake system out there

I have Volant CAI on my DTS... I was anything but impressed with the quality of it, and ranging from all the complaints on the caddy forums I wasn't the only one. They kinda scared me off their products for a while... but I am very interested in your review of it.

[AllXJ96]

I've got a customer who wants one as soon as i can get my hands on it, so ill post up as soon as i can, probably about 2 weeks before I can get them, but the volant system for the TJ is the cleanest snorkel system ive seen and cant wait for the JK's snorkel kit

And Yes my jeep burnt down
My JK Blew Up

Yeah... we talked about your rig burning up on a couple different JK specific forums.

Sucks man..for real. I hope you got treated right by the insurance.

[coonbuster]

that's a sweet looking snorkel!

I'm so jealous with Hitmoney's jeep...
What an awesome ride...
One of the nicest jeep around...

Thank you... much appreciated.




I present to you the Volant JK Snorkel....








Quite possibly the ugliest mod ever made for a Jeep.
Looks like a giant slug.
