And its been about 24 hours of snow and salty roads and the bumper is already looking scary... lol! The road salt they use here in Germany is no joke! On a brighter note I did get a small package from 4WD hardware today... new JKS shackles and wheel spacers for the XJ and its 8.8 to come. :)
Mine again...
Guess I should add an updated pic or two of mine... Somehow I lost this thread...lol! Been pretty busy wrenching on mine but to be honest I haven't had a chance to take it out much. I brought it here to Germany with me a couple years ago and shortly afterwards the tranny blew...
What about trying to adapt a different model snorkel to the XJ? I believe TJs mount on the pass side....and I'm sure there are non Jeep makes that do as well... Or maybe you could modify one of the new JK snorkels from Rugged ridge?

The risers are 3/16s as are the flat stock (strap steel) so working with it is a little slow. All the metal was cut out using my trusty angle grinder (ugh) and then cleaned up with sanding discs. The flat bar I had thought to just bend in a vice but it proved to be more stout than I had...
Yeah... I think even the chinese knock offs are mostly left handed ones. Theres a guy from china on Cherokee forums (jeeptian or something like that) that is a vendor for the knock offs. You could try and ask him?
But the Spectre filter seems well made, uses a replaceable filter, and comes in...
This is what I was talking about...

Not sure you would need one either... The one I got off of Fleabay could be rerouted perhaps to just clear the second battery. The "kit" has you tying the snorkel to the factory air box via a flex hose. I think the design is crap so I plan on just running the flex hose straight to the TB. I'll...
Vengeance...
Back with a vengeance and updates... :)
Since I'm now on orders to get out of Germany (Yippie!) and back to the states I'm feeling the time crunch. With the goal (like I have a choice..haha) being to get both my CJ and the Black XJ ready for the boat ride home, I have been spending...
Untrue. Ethanol...Perhaps. But Bio diesel can be made from almost ANYTHING! Have a solar tube generating electricity? Don't know what to do with the algae you scrape out of it to keep your free electricity going? Process the algae into bio and dump it in your diesel. Bad crop of soybeans... or...
I hear ya! Work is busy here and I spend every free moment wrenching on one Jeep or another. Have lots to do before I can get them on the boat to come home! Woot! Can't wait for the progress... :)
X2 and from where? I have a Parts mike 1 ton set up on my CJ and i'm not happy with the way the TRE fits into the drag link. I'd like to ream it out a little more but am a little confused on sizes of reamers...
