Thank you for this awesome video! I have learned more from this simple instructional video than others I have seen where they talk excessively and finished more confused than when I started. Keep this format going, IT WORKS!!! You took a Jeep that looks good to a level that looks even better.
Great video, my thought about this is it should help with your MPG. The reason I say this is the JLUR gets unreal hot under the hood. I had installed two 40Amp Circuit breakers for my ARB twin air compressor and their thermal protection kept tripping. We figured this out by pouring ice cold water on them to get them to work. I ended up going back to the max fuses that come with the compressor.
You might be right. Yes, it gets REAL hot under the hood. Seems like they should have added more ventilation. I will let you know if it helps. Thanks for watching.
Yeah, I hear ya. I got anxiety thinking about it. The kit had a really good template to follow though, and I took my time cutting. I don't know what a hood would cost but I kinda have to agree it probably isn't cheap. It would also be really embarrassing. Thanks for watching.
Nice install. For the JK i like the one piece AEV snorkel much better. But im not a JL fan either. Wanted a jeep for years and when i seen the changes coming i got one of the last 2018 JKs. Love to see what AEV does for the JL.
Great install video. Looks good. I just installed the rugged ridge snorkel on my JK. It’s design had snorkel go thru window cowl and behind fender. More of a pain to install but it turned out nice. Grabbing the cooler air from outside must be helping my MPGs. I went from getting 14mpg to 15+mpg. Not bad. Lol.
Nice! I saw something like that on a SEMA video for the JL too, don't think it is out yet. Jeeps really do have a hot engine bay problem. Thanks for watching.
Hah. Getting the two large snorkel pieces together at that rubber gasket was the hardest part of my install. I thought cutting the hood was going to be the most difficult, but it really wasn't. However, I'm not entirely confident that the 3M tape, regardless of using small vice grips to clamp it down, is the best way to really seal that outer trim piece, though. I plan on getting some dark grey or black silicon and doing just a real light squeeze in between them for that extra piece of mind.
I agree!!! Not sure about the 3M tape either. I will probably fortify it with something as well. At first putting those 2 snorkel pieces together seemed easy until I realized they weren't really fully together... or I cut the hole in the wrong place! Luckily they just needed a really solid smack. Thanks for watching.
How well do you think this snorkel by Mopar matches against ones produced and installed by AEV and other companies? I get that they all function the same, but is there any real difference that you know of? Super informative video, thank you for this!
Thanks for watching. I have not noticed any significant difference between the various options out there. I did have the AEV one on a prior JK model Jeep.
Do not forget to connect all your drivetrain vents to the intake or you will suck water into your differentials, transmission and transfer case. Virtually everyone forgets to do this.
I did the AEV on my 20’ Gladiator and I immediately noticed improvement in throttle response and gained 1-1.5 mpg. These stock intakes on the Jeeps are very restrictive on the intake inlet side. Very difficult to dyno verify this but I noticed a performance gain, especially at highway speeds.
Is there a way to fasten the upper snorkel better to the body? Mine keeps pulling loose from the sticky tape. Used numerous different kinds of glue/tape. Im thinking of riviting it in. Any advice?
Great video, any concerns of driving with snorkel in the heavy rain? Does the snorkel drain the water somewhere before it goes to the air-box? Thank you!
Very nice thank you for sharing. Debating between this intake and the Hauk Expedition Intake. I don’t plan to submerge my Jeep but want the ability to run deeper creek crossing in the pursuit of buried treasure.
Yes and no. Technically the kit would prevent you from doing so, however, all you have to do is take out the one bolt on the top side where it mounts to the support. Because presumably you would be going kinda slow with the windshield down wind wont be a factor.
It looks so cool and I was so nervous during the cutting part and bitten my nails during the whole process 😅😅 but it comes out looking great👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👍🏼👍🏼
The limiting factor in the Jeep JL really is all of the electronics. Gas engines in particular due to the spark system don't like water much. The axles and drivetrain have wading tubes so they are not the big issue. The snorkel will help as it considerably raises the intake where the air comes from. The stock system drew the air from near the front fender which would be subjected to splashing and bow wave even in shallow crossings. Thanks for watching.
Love the color of your JL. Looks fantastic. Cutting the hood would be totally nerve wracking for me....but I suppose I would do it myself, MAYBE. Thx for sharing brother man.
I will post an update shortly with the result to this question. In a nutshell, it was designed to attach to the pillar thus preventing the windshield from folding down. However, there is one screw that you could disconnect to allow it to separate. Given that you are not going to put the windshield down on the highway, I think the snorkel will be stable without that screw. You can then reattach when the windshield is raised back up. I am going to test this. Thanks for watching.
Yes, I believe that would be an option. They can certainly source the part as it is Mopar. Not sure the cost but shouldn't be too bad- they certainly have the facility and tools. Thanks for watching.
Yes, there is a 2.5 inch lift on the Jeep with 37 inch tires. Assessing whether I like this or not- might increase it slightly as there is a bit of tire rub under heavy articulation. Thanks for watching.
Drive The Globe hey just curious which lift kit you use ? I put the 2.5 mopar lift with fox shocks. It’s my first time using fox shocks and I like them - exactly like a factory ride . My jk I put a 5.7 hemi and it was a monster but wanted the new one bad so parted with it.
I don't completely disagree. I think they originally designed this without mounting to the A pillar but deemed it not secure enough. I am going to try to put the windshield down this summer by unscrewing the nut holding the bracket to the pillar. I think that will work fine for non- highway wind conditions.
Awesome video! I want this intake but also want to be able to drop the windshield. Do you think it’d be sturdy enough without the A frame mount? Thanks!
Well, I just looked at the Jeep and you bring up a very good point. I will have to check that out once warmer weather hits, I think the way to go might be to attach the intake per the installation instructions and then when folding the wind shield down you could unscrew the bolt holding the bracket to the intake and the bracket will fold down too. My best guess is, yes the intake will be sturdy enough- since you won't be going highway speeds with the wind shield down. We will see... thanks for watching.
Sorry, I didn't put the link in the description but did put it in the video. I got it from All Mopar Parts .Com. It was $611 and it is the Mopar Jeep JL Snorkel kit. Part number 82215350AB www.allmoparparts.com/sku/82215350ab.html It is also available at Quadratec but I believe it was a higher price.
Great video !! very well demonstrated !! just 3 questions , the air box you installed the second time , is it the original air box or is it the air box that comes along with the snorkel kit ? If it is the original air box , kindly show a demonstration on how you fixed the attachment to the air box , I mean't the cutting of the air box to fix the attachment. Second question ,those air plug holes only should be closed during the water crossing time only ?? and the rest of the time , usually on normal on road should it be kept open ?? And finally the third question , by doing this will not the warranty from the agency get void ??
The airbag that is reinstalled is the original one from the Jeep and does not come with the kit. There is no cutting of the box, the attachment piece fits over the old opening and fastens with a clamp. The plugs are to be used only during heavy water crossings and not on a normal basis. When on road the plugs remain out so that any rain water or condensation will drain without going into the filter. My understanding is that since this is a genuine Jeep part from Mopar that it does NOT void the warranty. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for watching. I have really not noticed any additional noise from the snorkel. It did loosen up from the wind shield once slightly but it was an easy fix.
So far so good. I have only taken the Jeep off road a couple of times- nothing serious yet. Seems to have a nice approach angle and it is definitely well built. Thanks for watching.
@@jimlayhey1965 yeah, the new version significantly cut weight out by replacing much of the body with aluminum. The doors are so much lighter than the JK too.
The front bumper is a Rough Country Stubby bumper with the led light strip attachment. It is available from Rough Country for around $680. Thanks for watching.
You will do great!! Just measure twice and cut once. Make sure you don't use a cutting wheel that is too big and take great care not to go through both aluminum skins of the hood as the cut sizes are different. Let me know how it goes, congrats on the Jeep.@@boknowsyoutube
Awesome question, and I wondered that too. There are small holes at the bottom of the air filter box to drain water, other than that I actually checked after a driving in heavy rain and could not find any wetness inside. Air pressure of some sort? I guess this is why I am not an engineer. Thanks for watching.
Ha Ha, snorkels are really generally for dust in extreme desert conditions. It raises the location of where the air enters, rather than sucking in dirty air from near the tires.
Thank you for this awesome video! I have learned more from this simple instructional video than others I have seen where they talk excessively and finished more confused than when I started. Keep this format going, IT WORKS!!!
You took a Jeep that looks good to a level that looks even better.
Thank you, appreciate all of the feedback. Love the Jeep! Thanks for watching.
I like the snorkel, I want one in my Jeep Gladiator
It is nice, and should work with the gladiator as well.

You might be right. Yes, it gets REAL hot under the hood. Seems like they should have added more ventilation. I will let you know if it helps. Thanks for watching.
Balls of steel. I don't think I would have the nerve to cut up a $50k vehicle.
I would agree but it is just the hood. Worse case you have to buy a new hood. Thankfully not $50K but I'm sure not cheap either.
Yeah, I hear ya. I got anxiety thinking about it. The kit had a really good template to follow though, and I took my time cutting. I don't know what a hood would cost but I kinda have to agree it probably isn't cheap. It would also be really embarrassing. Thanks for watching.
On Guam these are 60k 😥. But settling for the unlimited 2.0t sport

Any improvement in MPG? Any other issues since the install?
One thing I didn't see you do is use sting gray touch up paint to cover the area you cut. That will prevent it from rusting later.
I admit, I went lazy on that. However, the hood is 100% aluminum so it won't be rusting. Thanks for watching.
looks surprisingly good despite covering the rubicon decal
Only on one side though :) Thanks for watching.
@@drivetheglobe was the rugged ridge snorkel available when you installed the Mopar snorkel?
Love the “No Fucks Given” approach to this install!

Thank you, that is very true- many people forget that water will get into the drivetrain as well. Thanks for watching.

Yep, I agree with you. Makes a difference.
Is there a way to fasten the upper snorkel better to the body? Mine keeps pulling loose from the sticky tape. Used numerous different kinds of glue/tape. Im thinking of riviting it in. Any advice?
Yeah. That is an issue. I ended up diverting it too.
Great video, any concerns of driving with snorkel in the heavy rain? Does the snorkel drain the water somewhere before it goes to the air-box? Thank you!
Not at all. The water does drain before the air box. Thanks for watching.
All good except the part of removing the hood from the hinges. Doing so breaks the paint seal and corrosion will start soon.
UGH! That is so true.
Should have watched some vids of Sema 2018: th-cam.com/video/qhM5xF7eTUA/w-d-xo.html (15:51)
Yep, I saw that. Pretty cool snorkel set up as well. Thanks for watching.
Great Vid. well done. Did you notice if it increased the induction noise? Steve
Thanks for watching. I have not noticed any difference in noise. Been installed for about 6 months now and have had no issues.
Good Idea... But I believe you are correct to say, " Mount the air tube to bracket then to body assembly."
Thanks for watching!
You bent the hood insulation...😂🤣 FLAP!!!!
Just a little :) Thanks for watching.
Very nice thank you for sharing. Debating between this intake and the Hauk Expedition Intake. I don’t plan to submerge my Jeep but want the ability to run deeper creek crossing in the pursuit of buried treasure.
I think either will work well for that. Enjoy, and thanks for watching.
Thanks
Is it possible to put the windshield down still with the snorkel installed ?
Yes and no. Technically the kit would prevent you from doing so, however, all you have to do is take out the one bolt on the top side where it mounts to the support. Because presumably you would be going kinda slow with the windshield down wind wont be a factor.
How’s the radio reception with that stubby antenna? My wife wants one for hers but I’ve read mixed reviews about the reception
I have not had any issues with it and haven't noticed any change. Admittedly I mostly listen to siriusXM though. Thanks for watching.
Great video 👌🏻 looking forward to seeing more of your future mods 🤙🏻
Thanks for watching! A lot more coming soon...
It looks so cool and I was so nervous during the cutting part and bitten my nails during the whole process 😅😅 but it comes out looking great👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👍🏼👍🏼
Ha ha. Me too!!!
Screw the Jeep, just look at that Landy
We love our Landy! But we love the Jeep too. And then there is the Mog... Thanks for watching.
Series II
Do they recommend putting some touch up paint on the bare metal after cutting and drilling to prevent rust before installing the trim pieces ?
Hood is aluminum. It won't rust.
Phil is correct, the hood is aluminum- although Jeep still suggests touch up paint in their directions. I did skip that in my install.
@@drivetheglobe That is correct but aluminum can still oxidize and cause the paint to lift off the material.
@@michaelalvarez644 you are correct, I have been meaning to check it out and see if it needs a touch up paint application.
What is the true limiting factor when it comes the wading depth of a Jeep?
The limiting factor in the Jeep JL really is all of the electronics. Gas engines in particular due to the spark system don't like water much. The axles and drivetrain have wading tubes so they are not the big issue. The snorkel will help as it considerably raises the intake where the air comes from. The stock system drew the air from near the front fender which would be subjected to splashing and bow wave even in shallow crossings. Thanks for watching.
Love the color of your JL. Looks fantastic. Cutting the hood would be totally nerve wracking for me....but I suppose I would do it myself, MAYBE. Thx for sharing brother man.
Thanks, love the color too! I just used the old rule of measuring twice and cutting once. Thanks for watching.
Can you still lower the windshield?
I will post an update shortly with the result to this question. In a nutshell, it was designed to attach to the pillar thus preventing the windshield from folding down. However, there is one screw that you could disconnect to allow it to separate. Given that you are not going to put the windshield down on the highway, I think the snorkel will be stable without that screw. You can then reattach when the windshield is raised back up. I am going to test this. Thanks for watching.
It is a vehicle snorkel for off road use. We humans use a snorkel for shallow water use. And Jeep didn't start it
Jeep did not start it, and it is primarily used for breathing clean air free of dust. Works for shallow water crossings as well. Thanks for watching.
if i may ask, what is the color of your jeep?
The color is Sting Gray, which is a fairly limited color from Jeep. Thanks for watching.
Why remove the hood?
The hood has to be removed to cut the hole and then put back on. Thanks for watching.
I have seen all the others just cut it in place..
Jesus, can you go to a dealer and get them to install? I don't have the tools or trust my hands for this, cutting metal? Nope.
Yes, I believe that would be an option. They can certainly source the part as it is Mopar. Not sure the cost but shouldn't be too bad- they certainly have the facility and tools. Thanks for watching.
Find a third party shop that can do the install. I guarantee it will be much less than the dealership price.
Probably true!
Yes, but my dealer wants $750 for the install.
Dustin Tanner is that including the snorkel ? Or that is seperste
Great job! I’m gonna order my JLUR with the hood cut at the factory, no way I’d trust myself with cutting into a new Jeep.
Awesome, you will enjoy the new Jeep. Thanks for watching.
Works on JT? Jeep Gladiator?
Yes, it does work on the Gladiator as well. Thanks for watching.
Nice. Is there a lift on your Jeep? If so how much "?
Yes, there is a 2.5 inch lift on the Jeep with 37 inch tires. Assessing whether I like this or not- might increase it slightly as there is a bit of tire rub under heavy articulation. Thanks for watching.

Dear sir, u did very well by yourself, tq for the videos, so clearly the process of instalation
Thank you for watching!
Oh man, that first cut! Looks great 👍
It was a little nerve-wracking! Thanks for watching.
Man, it looks so cool with the new raised air intake. I didn't realized that mopar's design had that's Jeep Performance Parts logo on it. Very cool.
It is a nice piece, thanks for watching.
A bad design by MOPAR from the beginning as one won't be able to drop the windshield after the snorkel install, not your fault though...!
I don't completely disagree. I think they originally designed this without mounting to the A pillar but deemed it not secure enough. I am going to try to put the windshield down this summer by unscrewing the nut holding the bracket to the pillar. I think that will work fine for non- highway wind conditions.

Anyone have trouble with the adhesive pad not being strong enough to hold the snorkel to the A-piller?

What keeps water getting in when driving in the rain?
Awesome question, and I wondered that too. There are small holes at the bottom of the air filter box to drain water, other than that I actually checked after a driving in heavy rain and could not find any wetness inside. Air pressure of some sort? I guess this is why I am not an engineer. Thanks for watching.

Sorry to hear that, there are a few other options out there.
This guy is been drinking toi much.. Next u make a video make sure ur sober 🤔🤔🤔🙄
Coming from an asshole who cant spell, or manage to put a simple sentence together. Fuk outta here dude
How deep of water do you go in to need a snorkel?
Ha Ha, snorkels are really generally for dust in extreme desert conditions. It raises the location of where the air enters, rather than sucking in dirty air from near the tires.
