Don't forget your gearbox and Transfer case breathers, not sure where they are, but they needed to be extended on my TJ so I can't see the grand ones being any different.

I might give the snorkel a miss if it doesnt look good and brew up something similar to go jeep's XJ.

So far the michells water crossing bra is doing the job until the modifications and definitely breathers arent high enough for what I put it through.

So from what you said then they Work???? I've seen them in pics but never in the fleash!!!!!

I hope the snorkels look ok, I imagine they will If it cost them $50,000 to make the mold I would say they'll be making it as Eye friendly as they can so they can sell heaps of them!

What are you putting it through and how much higher do you want to go with the breathers? The front sits just under the ABS module at the rear of the engine bay and you could only go maybe 5 to 10cm higher. The rear sits at the same level as your fuel cap under the guard. Seems like they are more that high enough as you will also need to look at sealing the fuse box, body access points and probably extra sealant on all the engine modules if you are looking at water that high.

The front is OK but Im the one that changes the oil in the diffs wait til you see the rear diff if you ever do the same river crossings as me and then change the oil, you will see a bit of water.
