Unfortunatly, I have never see an intergated slolution to install both a snorkel and a roof rack on a wrangler. Hopefully, this will change.
On my 95 wrangler, I had to modify my Olympic roof rack bracket and rack front tube so I could fit the ARB snorkle.
I guess that It would have to comme from the same company to get an engineer to think about that and even them, I miht be expecting to much from a company.

It looks like I may have to redesign the A pillar rack strut in order to use either ARB's or AEV's snorkle., The ARB design looks to have more flexablity.
The Wild Boar snorkle, "due out in mid-January" ( I will believe that when I see one) actually integrates their rack to the snorkle. Thus having the rack loads transmitted throgh the snorkle into the A pillar mount at the base. My concern is that if an overloaded condition happens, either through weight or motion, you can induce excessive bending loads and fracture the snorkle which is made of fiberglass..you can see pictures of the snorkle on their web site
I picked up an Aussie 4X4 magazine to check other products for possible ideas

Yes 4 months is excessive. Wild Boar had manufacturing issues BUT they made it right by me. Also their quality has been excellant, my fastback top fit like a glove and had NO leaks. The finish was a perfect match. so other then the rack taking twice as long as expected its ok
This issue here is a snorkle
I'm thinking the ARB might work though I have never seen one other then pictures...Maybe I will go to the EXPO in april to check it out
