The Rugged Ridge AmFib Snorkel System is available for the 2018 and newer Jeep Wrangler JL and the 2020 and newer Jeep Gladiator JT and is compatible with both the 2.0L and 3.6L engines. This unique snorkel system gives you the choice of a high mount snorkel, or a low cowl mount snorkel in one kit that you can switch between in a matter of seconds. The AmFib snorkel doesn't require any modification to the exterior body panels of your Jeep, and re-uses your factory air box for a quick and easy installation. The AmFib Snorkel offers a number of advantages in addition to simply moving your air intake higher. Rob walks through all the benefits you can gain by installing a Rugged Ridge AmFib Snokel system in your Jeep and even shows just how easy it is to get it installed.

So glad they finally came out with a snorkel that you don't have to cut into your jeep.
Agreed, not having to cut into the hood is a very nice feature!
I just spoke with rugged ridge, after installing this on a jeep with no mods under the hood. This is more of a dirt trail snorkel. It does not have waterproof fitment out of the box. You will need to seal it yourself. Even though it comes with a high and low mount, it is not meant for high water traversing.
Yea, Rob said that pretty clearly in the video.
Can you explain further please? From the video it seemed to be very sealed, even using silicon and Christmas tree clips, I cannot see where water would come in via this snorkel??
I love the snorkel especially the lower option. Win for rugged ridge.
Negative!! The installation cost more than the snorkel! Almost twice as much!
I like the low mount I wish they had this for jk ...
Need something like that for the TJ
I like the look of the short snorkel. Especially if it is body colored like their SEMA version.
I totally agree
Agreed! Easy as dropping it off at your local body shop! Mine may or may not be there right now...
I’ve preordered with Quadratec. Hopefully it ships soon.
We just received a shipment in from Rugged Ridge! They should be shipping as soon as they get checked into the warehouse.
I wish they had that for the JK!
I like the low mount look much better, but don't want to hinder the benefits of adding the snorkel by going for that look. I rarely ever do deep water crossings, so this is really for the cooler air and dust reduction in my case. Will the low mount snorkel provide similar benefits in cooler air as well as reducing dust getting into the air filter?
Cool install. Odd question. What is make & part number of the antennae? I really would like that in my 2018 JKU Rubicon.
Do you guy's have a version of that one for the jk wrangler? It looks easy and simple to install than the other one's i've seen for the jk!👋😎👍
This is really cool. Curious, is the air temp the same when it's just the cowl section without the long snorkel as well?
Are the temperature readings the same in the lower configuration? I picture they wouldn't be as cool as the high configuration because of the angle.
Nice clean look just check prices the full set 159 if want low / high or just low profile it’s 600 ?? Big price difference??
Are diff breathers needed also? If so can you do a video on how to install the ARB diff B.
Can this be used with aftermarket air boxes that have similar placement/build to the stock box.
Blocks A-piller lights and rack mounts.
How does it effect the car when washing your car and heavy rain? will it drip into the air-intake?
Is there any risk of engine hydrolocking or water getting into the engine with this snorkel? High profile one is what I am interested in.
For right hand drive variants - such as Gladiators in the Australian market. Is it true that modification is required due to components in the engine bay being in different positions and fowling in the snorkel??
Hi good day, is it okay to have it here in canada, specially were leaving in winnipeg were winter is long and so cold? Can it affect the performance of the JL? Thanks and more power
Will I find all the parts in the package to start assembling? including factory airbox modification piece?
Unrelated but will you be carrying the Magnusson supercharger for the Jeep 3.6?
Hello, I have KC lights with brackets they came with on the cowl. Would I be able to still have a KC light on that side and be same level as the driver side with this product?
Will this be able to pair with the mopar cold air intake if I choose to get both??
Will this work with a light bar across the top of the window that uses the same lower mounting spot?
Will this snorkel fit on a 2021 Jeep gladiator Mojave??
finally a Sting GRAY
Any plans on a snorkel kit for the Mojave edition? or where to find one at
How does it work with A pillar light bar mounts?
So, the foam block doesn't go back in, even cut to fit? Or is it in there and you just didn't show it?
It looks like it makes accessing your battery a pain?
Will it work with light bars brackets on each side (fish bone brand) holding my front 50" light bar?. Thanks
Will this rugged ridge amfib snorkel system void the jeep warranty?
Gobi roof rack still fit?
we're can! buy one for my jeep gladiator
How does the low profile seperate the water if it doesn’t have the same design from the high one ?
Can this accept the Sy-Klone pre-filter?
I have a question if this is a snorkel how can you go through deep water if there is a screen vent on the side wont water get sucked in there.
Got one for my 2017 rubicon recon ????
I saw someone on your page post a pic of this snorkel with a KC Pro6 lightbar. How? I hve the snorkel, but I can’t figure how to have both unless the base for this is modified to fit over the light bar bracket.
How about the diesel motor? Is there a snorkel for it?
Would this fit my 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Ecodiesel?
Will this work with a S&B cold air intake ????
Anything for the wk2's?
Will this work on a 2024 Rubicon?
Has anyone tried this on a right hand drive Gladiator? Some of the stuff in the engine bay is in different places. The airbox looks the same though.
Well my snorkle bolt inserts snapped while driving down the freeway the plastic got brittle sent them pics want to see what they say
I prefer when things look symmetrical .. do you think you can make a bracket to add small offroad light at the base and do a similar base for the other side (without the chimney) that would accept the light for the other side?
In other words, both side will have the same base, passenger side brings cold air to the air filter.. that side will have a spot light at the base. For the driver side, same base with a spot light, and the air will just cool the engine bay.
I also prefer a color match snorkel. In a slim shape.. the only thing that bugs me is that the snorkel start rectangular then become cylinder for a coupe of inches and the rectangle again.
How bout just rectangle all the way up?
Is it compatible with limb risers?
The Light Mounts from Carr should with with the AmFib Snorkel without the need for any modification. www.quadratec.com/p/carr/xp3-180-light-mounts-jeep-wrangler-jl
Do they make this for the Gladiator JT Diesel???
Which antenna is that by the way??
How can I install it if i have a KC Gravity Pro6 lightbar?
Do you have one for the eco diesel JL?
Is there one compatible for eco diesel?
Do it work with the k&N cold air intake ?
Is this available for the TJ?
Does it fit the Mojave?
hello Quadratec , can u help me i need only drain white tube kit
Would this work for the 4xe?
What blocks the side port when attaching the full height snorkel?
That part they took off blocks it. It looks like a side vent, but it is solid, I believe.
Where can I find same exact one for the Mojave?
Can this be fitted to a diesel Gladiator?
CANT WATER GET IN THROUGH THE LOW MOUNT INTAKE?
Hey there. Really interested in this product, will it fit a R/H drive gladiator? I'm in Australia
I worry it would reduce your viewing angle in Australia.
Why don't fit the gladiator mojave?
Is this beauty available on JK?
Rugged Ridge offers a the XHD Snorkel for the JK. Not identical, but a very similar style that installs to the cowl area. www.quadratec.com/products/17011_0011_07.htm
Any solution for installing both snorkel and roof rack that requires the pillar, like the frontline or Gobi rack?
Does it not fit with the gobi?
It seems they improved the quality a little bit, the first installation video out was just horrible, gaps everywhere.
No its actually junk
Were can i buy one for me
Hello sr I have a question for you, I really love that snorkel,
can we
Put the same snorkel on the Mojave as well?
Yes! This should work just fine on a Mojave trim level Gladiator.
@@Quadratec great thank you very much!!
Hi Rob,
Is it compatible with S&B and others air intake systems?
The Rugged Ridge AmFib Snorkel only works with the stock Air Intake Box.
Would you guys mind running this on the dyno to show what if any effect it has on air flow and power?
I too would like to see that as I want my exhaust tuned into the good kind of air flow for lack of better mechanical terms. Basically, can one achieve spunkyier with this snorkel and other air related components?
no one would, this is a gimmick for performance, this is not a proper CAI and even proper one is almost undetectable performance gain on the dyno... it is all in your head 🙂, I am assuming loss of aerodynamics with that square pipe on your windshield would negate any possible gain. the best part of this setup is that you can install the high snorkel only when you are going to be in a situation where it is needed.
I’m looking for One of these but for a 3.0 Eco-diesel where can I found one do you carry one or do you have something I can install
I got mine on Amazon. Rugged Ridge 17756.31 AmFib Low/High Mount Snorkel System; 18-Current JL, 20-Current JT
What’s the difference between this snorkel and the snorkel that wayalife installed? What’s the price on this particular snorkel? Thanks
It's the same snorkel. The AmFib complete low & high mount snorkel system retails for $599.99 www.quadratec.com/p/rugged-ridge/xhd-snorkel-system-jeep-wrangler-jl-gladiator-jt/hi-low-mount-snorkel-system-jl-jt
I have one on my JK, it's not holding up to the florida sun well, it's developing cracks on the base.
Rugged Ridge offers the XHD snorkel for the JK. Similar idea, slightly different design. www.quadratec.com/products/17011_0011_07.htm
That one is a pain in the ass to install..... we need one line this new one for the jk.
Weird. I have had one here in Alabama since 2013. No issues.
Can you do a venator bumper installation?
We'll put that on the list of videos to shoot!
@@Quadratec Thank you, it is a very popular and cool looking bumper on a lot of people's list. However putting it together is like a puzzle.
Designing one for the 3.0 liter diesel?
Yeah need one for my diesel too!
Wish the turbine style dust prefilter was offered for this snorkel. 🙁
You can install the XHD pre-filter on the AmFib high mount inlet. www.quadratec.com/products/17011_0012.htm
Is it paintable?? It would look much better if it was the same color as the Jeep.
Jose Rodriguez To me it look better in black match the mirror
I agree,,, my JLUR is white & I'd much rather have a body color matching snorkel...
Yes! Just take it to your local body shop 👍🏻
Make one for the diesel wrangler its time get my 💸 🤑 💲
Is it absolutely necessary to take out the ambient air tube? Seems like its an unnecessary step.
Never mind, I just installed the kit. The ambient air tube must come out or it will interfere with the Drain valve.
whats the difference between having the low or high snorkel?
The high snorkel is higher than the low snorkel.
They need one for jk
Rugged Ridge makes their XHD Snorkel for the JK - www.quadratec.com/products/17011_0011_07.htm
Too bad it won't work with the Mopar light brackets
Any idea how this would fair threw a touch less car wash ?
I believe a touch less would be ok, but a rag slapper will rip it right off
Hey do you know if the windshield can still fold with the low mount?
There appears to be plenty of clearance to drop the windshield once you remove the high snorkel and leave the low one in place. I had the same question in my head when I looked at this part on the website.
Yes it can.
Wish someone would make a low-pro version like this for the 4runner. (*ducks*)
I’m just curious is it would go around my switch box that’s on my passenger side engine bay.
What switch box are you referring to?
Quadratec S-Tech switch box(4-switch): stechswitch.com/product/stech-4-switch-systems/
Did you ever figure this out?
@@bamslife2812 went with the ARB snorkel. A little bit of an eye sore for some but I prefer it. Only item I don’t like is that I had to drill/attach it tot he windshield frame.
@@Venom-kq5xz ok cool. So the arb will work with switch boxes mounted over the battery? Thanks for replying
Does this fit on the 2.2ltr Turbo Diesel 2019 JL Rubicon? 🤞
I don't think it does. The air breather is on drivers side on the diesel engine .
@@tonymontgomery5827 Yes but the drivers side here in Australia is on the opposite side...
@@tonymontgomery5827 Looking at the front of the Jeep the air cleaner box is on the left
@@Jay_Crew I believe the engine sits the same. So on the left side of vehicle.
@@Jay_Crew then I honestly have no idea sir. Sorry
They need one for the Mojave edition
We think so too!
😁
Can you still drop the windshield with the cowl/lower intake?
Yes! With only the cowl intake installed you can still lower the windshield.
How do you acces to the drain valve?
Turn your wheel outwards and pull your fender back a bit. Reach in and turn the knob.
Ive had this ordered since nov.. not sure when this will come to market...kinda disappointed.
We just got a large order in yesterday. Did you order from us?
Yes My order is with you guys. Just Waiting.
Not Disappointed with you guys just the time keeps getting pushed back.
$800 for plastic to redirect air...
Knowbody is going that deep like what a dumb mod
First YAY
sorry but I think the snorkels look cheesy
Looks really cheap. Not interested
Woah, way to expensive. No thanks.
