The E-bay sellers store has snorkels for jeep nissan and toymota. The pictures for the knockoff snorkel even have on of the earthroamer JKs sporting the AEV snorkel on it.

well in the end i decided to go TJM, i considered the AEV as everyone seems to rave about it but couldnt get past the looks and safari seemed to have got a bad rap so TJM it was. Plus i get a good deal as they sponsor our club.
$396 supplied was the quote i was given so hopefully all fitted in next 2 weeks

Have had an Air Tec fitted to my JK CRD today, plus other bits at TJM Bundaberg.

AAAA for the TJM guys in getting it all done in a day (included the other bits), will shop there again.

On first drive home, lower revs (1000-2000) can be heard, exhast I think ... fix is to turn radio on .... above 2000 rpm no noise.

Well done TJM, other parts fitted were nice too, 2" lift, ARB bar, winch, and 2 x X-ray spots

Odd, my wife said tonight, kinda cool looking,

I'll go with that

Here it is Ladies and Gents.

The ebay shortcut has already been posted earlier but if you want them direct email
Wiahon at Munlee Autos he's a good guy and speaks ok english too. The web address is www.munleeautos.com

As far as prices go this is the deal i got.
Snorkel= $170usd
Frieght to my door in Rockhampton=$40usd (this will vary on your location and it only took 7-10 days)
Permatex sensor safe black silicon p/n #82120=$16aus (supercheap and i only needed one tube and at idle my snorkel will hold a peice of paper at the ram so it is air tight)

Total is $260-$280 Australian dollars. You can get the fitting instuctions from A Extremely Valueable website just like i did.

Good luck, happy Jeeping and like i said earlier not trying to rip anyone off just trying to help you all out and save you a few bucks.

Hey Wallyd,

Yeah mate all included hose clamp, ram, pop rivots and snorkel. The only you will need is a small piece of 6mm ID rubber hose that slips over the aerial and wedges into the snorkel to stop the aerial hitting the snorkel during driving. I used a bit of soft wall hose that i knocked off but if you go to any hose shop like Pirtek or supercheap you'll get it for $2-$5 and you'll need it about 100mm long.
