Rugged Ridge AmFib Snorkel HOW TO INSTALLATION on a Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator Truck
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ม.ค. 2020
- As any self-respecting overlander knows, you need a snorkel to complete a good overland build and when Rugged Ridge first debuted their AmFib Snorkel for the Jeep JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator Truck at the 2018 SEMA Show, everyone and their mother wanted to get their hands on one. Why you might ask? Well, unlike most snorkel kits, the AmFib requires no cutting of the hood or of any body panel for that matter and it requires very little modification to get it installed. Also, Rugged Ridge designed the AmFib to be installed in two different configurations, as a Low Mount cowl intake that looks totally factory and as a High Mount intake that gives it a traditional snorkel look that most people are familiar with. In this video, you'll see just how quick and easy it is to get one on your JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator.
NOTE: This Rugged Ridge AmFib was a pre-production kit and so I did need to buy some push fasteners from my local O'Reilly Auto Parts store. It is my understanding that these fasteners are included with product kits.
ALSO : Because I know it's coming, yes, I know that the 3rd rubber fitting under the air box is for the ambient air tube. LOL

I honestly don’t like the look of most snorkels but Rugged Ridge knocked it out of the park with this one. The two different positions and it looks so good.
The low mounted version was exceptionally well done and very factory like.
Wow. You're the only person who made a video where an amateur like myself could actually follow from beginning to end without any doubts!
Thank you. Truly flattered you would say as much and I'm glad to know that I could be of help :)
The low snorkel looks great, the high set up looks good as well. I really like the versatility of being able to switch between high and low.
The best part is, you can literally make the change in about 1 minute.
I understand the utility of the high mount but, I agree with Eddie on the low mount, if you're in water deep enough for the low mount to be an issue, you got bigger problems.
OS RR Very true
OS RR maybe not so much the depth but perhaps the splash...
OS RR high mount is more for dust than water though I believe the low mount is good for those mall crawlers bc it would allow more dust in than the high mount and we all know those mall crawlers only deal with city smog lol
Your how to video are the best on TH-cam. Great job
lpis45 thank you, we’re so happy that you’d say as much. 😊
Thanks Eddie for being so thorough in your instructions for installs...it makes it so easy for us newbies to do alot of mods ourselves!
I'm really happy to hear that our videos are helpful to you. :)
The fact that you didn't have to cut up the Jeep is very appealing. Good looking Gladiator.
Thanks and yes, it really is nice that cutting of the hood or body wasn't required for this.
that has to be the easiest snorkel to install I've ever seen for a jeep, great video
It really is crazy fast and easy to install.
Shane Martinson Eddie makes everything look easy.
@@9929kingfish He knows his stuff, but that snorkel does look easy except that thing behind the radiator he had to remove.
Compare this installation to the one Rugged Ridge made for the JK it's a walk in the park. The installation for the JK version was a nightmare!
Great step by step coverage.
Please stop making these awesome videos! You are costing me a fortune! Seriously, i enjoy the detail and flow. That’s 2 items i will be buying next.
LOL - sorry about that :)
Always through and informative. Thank you for taking the time to do this and recording it. Much appreciated.
Glad to hear you found our video to be informative.
I was waiting for this install video. Thank you for taking the time to show both options, high and low. I think i will make this snorkel will be my next mod!! You guys are the best!!
Awesome! So glad that we could help you to make a decision :)
Easily one of the best install videos I've ever seen. Great job. Love the low profile look.
Thank you. Glad to know we did an okay job of presenting it :)
Very modular concept, just love it. The low profile snorkel fit looked nice, but the high fit looks great, the JEEP is a beast and looks gorgeous.
Love the look of the low snorkel. You are correct it does look factory! Thanks for the video and the good camera work.
Happy to hear you liked what you saw and thank you :)
Always wanted to know how one of this snorkels work on a Jeep. Thanks for being so instructive. I never miss any of your installation videos.
We're truly flattered. Thank you.
I don’t have a JL or a JT and I never plan on running a snorkel on any of my rigs, and yet I still watched the entire video. Good stuff!
LOL - thank you. We're glad you could enjoy it none the less :)
This is the clearest RR snorkel installation online! Amazing
Great to hear!
As always - GREAT tutorial video! I should be receiving mine before the weekend and installing it is on my to-do list. Your install was much more thorough and informational than the others I've already viewed. THANKS!
So glad to hear our video was helpful to you.
great education video. You seem to have a natural talent to walk people through a process and explain everything so well. great job!
Thank you, I'm truly flattered that you would say as much.
Another great video, man I wish I lived closer to Eddie.
Thank you! I just installed this snorkel and this was my go to instruction video!
Awesome! So glad it helped you out :)
I bought mine last week, but Pre-orders start shipping on February 14th. Can´t wait to install it, thanks a lot for the video!
Awesome! Hope our video helps you out :)
Great looking snorkel. I like the high set up. Very clean and rugged looking. Eddie, your a pro and make all your installations look really easy! Great work!
You're too kind, thank you.
What a fantastic How-To video! I wish more people that posted these types of videos on TH-cam made videos of this quality. Thank you for taking the time to edit this and make it enjoyable to watch.
LOL - if they did, you wouldn't think anything of this one. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Best install video I’ve ever seen!
Thank you, we're flattered to hear you say as much :)
Looks so cool and the installation doesn't seem too complicated. Thanks for sharing another great video.
It really was a super easy install and the finished product looks very factory. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
YOU'RE THE BEST MAN..GOOD JOB AND INTELLIGENT PRACTICAL AND LOGIC TIPS.
LOL - I appreciate it, thank you :)
Truly awesome 👌. This is another brilliant way to have the cold air intake to the Gladiator, and this prevents the water from damaging the engine as well. You processed this quickly and efficiently with prudence and patience. Great job. 👍👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙🤙🤜🤛🙌
Thank you. We're so happy to hear you enjoyed our video.
That jeep looks soooo good
Great video, I always enjoy the thorough outlook of your instructions.
Before your video came out rugged ridge had came out with their own, they have the drain tube valve open under normal operation and closed when you go in water. Hope this helps.
The BEaST rig ever!!! beautiful
Thank you :)
The low profile looks great. Your video shows how easy the Rgged Ridge snorkel is to install. Even I could do the install. Thanks for posting, I enjoy your channel.
Awesome, we're so glad we could share this with you and that you enjoy our channel :)

@@wayalife Very. I'm looking at getting that same rugged ridge snork. I'll be referring back to your tutorial for installation. Cheers.
I really like the long snorkel, like you said more overlander..👍
I remember this part at SEMA 2018 and couldn't wait till it came out. Time to pull out the tools!
Awesome :)
I do like the low profile look best. Very nice 👍
It really is clean and factory like.

Indeed. Hoping to hook up and hit the trails with you soon.

Thank you. It's all no frills and utilitarian but we like it that way.
Great job, very clear and easy to follow. Thanks
Awesome! So glad to hear it :)
Too many people would've just said "for our appication" and did whichever they would be using. You took the time to do both and just know it us much appreciated 👍👌

Damn i just love the way you built your gladi! one of the best ones out there!! it looks bad ass
Thank you. Kind of on the utilitarian side but we like it that way :)
Great Job. Very comprehensive! Clean install.
Thank you :)
Nice build, thanks for the install 🇳🇱❤️🇺🇸✌️💪
Excellent, top notch video instructions. Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it and found it to be helpful 😎
This video is the one that convinced me to get the RR AmFib Snorkel. LOVE IT! I switch back and forth from Snorkel to Cold Air side cowl intake. I really liked the idea of not having to cut a hole in the side of the hood and the install was very easy. If you've done any kind of installs of anything on a vehicle, this is simple. One thing I did pick up from another install video was to rotate the clamps so the screw adjustment is under the intake tunnel, this keeps you from scraping your arms or snagging your shirt on the worm screws. Also, I've seen the exterior snorkel and cowl parts painted to match the jeep from another YT video, and it looks super sharp.
One thing that also should be mentioned, do not tighten the clamps too tight (What me?), especially if you live in a warm climate, as the plastic on the connectors will deform. I did that, but with a little careful use of a heat gun was able to get them back into the proper shape. A suggestion is that RR beef up the plastic connectors where the rubber tunnel connects with a thin metal strip on the inside of the tunnel that is pop rivetted to the plastic to reduce the likelihood of the tunnel deforming from someone tightening too much on the worm screws. I'm thinking of trying the metal strip myself if I see the plastic deform again.
As for a lightbar, I've purchased, not yet installed, an interior light bar that mounts on the inside of the windshield looking out, because of the roof mounted lightbar support conflict, to reduce road noise (More aerodynamic) and well, I liked the stealthiness of the interior lightbar (One less item to snag on tree limbs and one less thing for "sticky hands" to snag from your rig). Don't know how LEOs will view the legality of a lightbar not being covered on road, it's technically not an "exterior" light, but does shine to the outside, I guess I will find out soon.
Another great tech install vid!
Glad to hear you found our video to be informative.
Great video, you look more like a pro every video you make.your JT is my favorite bone out of all I've seen so far.
LOL - Glad you like our JT and we're flattered by your kind words :)
Another fantastic video tutorial!
Thank you :)
Hey buddy, you saved me a bunch of work. I was really dreading moving my winch to install the snorkel!. I’m gonna pull that little lower air tube out as you did anyway, just because..., but I’m sure glad I didn’t have to move my winch (or front bumper). Thanks a bunch!
Glad I could help
Well done on the video. Super easy to install.
Thank you, glad you found our video to be helpful :)
You’re ready to go for a swim! That low profile looks great! Very clean!
LOL - not if I can help it :) Glad you like the look :)
I'm watching in S.Korea
Thank you for uploading a good video~♡
So glad you enjoyed it :)
I don’t own a jeep but your unboxing and installs as Legit! Editing and content is on point!
LOL - Thank you, we're so glad you enjoy our videos 😊
Awesome video install very detail. Thank you
Nicely done! Always great content, all your stuff looks killer.
Thank you. We're so happy to hear you enjoy our videos :)
Thanks for your tutorial from Italy
Glad it was helpful!
Great how-to video!! 👍
Glad you liked it!
Seriously you make the best videos and deserve wayyyyyy more views and subscribers!! Personally I like the low snorkel because its a cleaner look like you said! Keep it up!!!
Thank you. We really are happy that you enjoy our videos and appreciate the kind words.
This DIY was perhaps the best one I’ve seen on TH-cam. You have earned another subscriber. About the snorkel, I haven’t watched a lot of installation videos with other brands, but this is the only one I’ve seen in which you don’t have to drill holes or cut into the vehicle. By the way, your Jeep is exceptionally nice, one of the best I’ve seen.
So glad to hear you enjoyed our video and thank you for subscribing 😎
Excited for this video... love their snorkel kit! Only one that looks good
Hope you find it helpful :)
I find all your videos helpful! Just like the BBG said, he watches all your videos to see what works and doesn’t and what to buy or not to buy. Obviously your comprehensive information on all your installs, is by far the best Jeep informant on TH-cam. So thanks for all you do
Well, we're truly humbled that you would say as much.
I must say your off road video production is always top notch. You also do some of the best install videos on youtube. Well done man!!!
Thank you. Truly flattered you'd say as much. :)
@@wayalife It's true....you go over things in such a unique to the point way....all your content is first class all the way.
Very good video. Really looking forward to your next adventure, please hurry! I prefer the low profile one, very clean and factory looking.
Thank you and we're working on it.
Clean install
Thank you :)
great video Eddi
Thank you :)
I'm excited for mine to come in!!!
Awesome :)
Love this design and how to vid. Class A bro.
Glad you like it 😎
Awesome outstanding job have a great time thanks
That’s a awesome gladiator dude
Thank you :)
i really like that snorkel. Going to source one for my jeep gladiator. Much better than cutting the bonnet.
Awesome vid
Thank you :)
The way you have an eye on detail, tools, cleanliness and steps of R&I is impeccable. Your my go to guy when I buy something for my JL. I wish you luck and success. Only if you sold clothes for 4xlt. Lol.
We're truly humbled that you would say as much, thank you. As far as cloths go, I'm pretty sure 4XL is offered wayalife.myspreadshop.com/men+t-shirts?q=P22
Oh my brother from another mother. I’m a 4XLT. NOT JUST A 4xl. I have a belly to cover haha. Between you and Ozark overland Adventures why would I trust anyone else for advice, R & I and recommended parts to use. I would work with you in a heartbeat. Just installed a cheesemaster snorkel on my JL. Can’t afford the real deal. But the install was exactly the same.
And the best thing about Rugged Ridge is they make a snorkel kit for my Jeep Commander‼️👍👍
Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great timing! Just looking at purchasing this.
Awesome!
That's a good looking mod. That said, the thought of driving that Gladiator dash-deep into the water makes my stomach hurt. :) Love your channel!
LOL - me too. I would seriously prefer not to if I can help it :)
I have to agree this looks great
Thank you :)
Always putting out some amazing how-to videos. Thanks for this one and I don't blame Rugged Ridge for sending you free stuff; amazing rig, lots of followers and good videos=free stuff! lol
Thank you, so glad to hear you enjoy our videos :)
I just discovered this snorkel, then i saw this video. Cheers, and Happy New Year!
Awesome, hope you enjoyed the video.
@@wayalife they all rock \m/
Hi Eddie & Cindy! The high mount looks really cool, I think! Great video!
Glad you like it :)
Nice, looks good either way!
Great video! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
Love the tall more traditional look but both do the job,I like overlander look
Glad we could show you both options.
