Just one look at the Rugged Ridge AmFib Snorkel System for Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT models and you know this is not your typical snorkel. We designed the Low Mount Snorkel to make a visual splash by devising a base that blends seamlessly with the factory cowl panel and then topped it off with a low air intake that instantly becomes the focal point that you can't take your eyes off of. While making such a big splash is great, our quest for a superior snorkel went far beyond the visual. We engineered the entire AmFib snorkel inside the Jeep to literally make waves, by designing a system that is over-engineered to be less invasive, performs better and installs easier than any snorkel we've ever built before. The entire system and its components look at-home", as though they we're part of the Jeeps original design. But where the rubber really meets the road is where the AmFib Snorkel truly shinesQuickly swap the low air intake for the High Mount Intake and you can defy water crossings with total confidence. Patents Pending and U.S. Patent 8,960,347.
This snorkel is fantastic! VERY easy install with basic hand tools. Fits perfectly, and the ability to remove the snorkel is awesome.
Great product by Rugged Ridge! Wanted a snorkel without having to butcher up my hood. Install was easy and fits up very nicely. Could totally pass for factory. Love the versatility of a full or shorty snorkel as well.
I bought this snorkel setup for my 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon- Rocklander USA . I pair it with a K&N air filter and gained 4-6 MPG at 45MPH or less around town. On freeway at 65MPH I gained 2-3 MPG during a long trip. At 75 MPH, long trip, I noticed no difference.
Install was very easy, don’t even need to remove the grill, that was my biggest concern as I have a heavy aftermarket bumper and winch. Nice cold, clean air for the engine and some protection if it’s a tad deeper than anticipated
Got the snorkel on sale at a reasonable price. Took about 2 hours to install with an 8 year old helper which probably added more time to it. Instructions were spot on and there are plenty of online tutorials. A very clean install and looks factory. I also havent had any windnoise issue with it either.
Fairly simple install, looks great and works well. I had a slight difficult time getting the front grill off because I have a winch so it was a little tricky for me. I had to also order the rugged ridge pre-filter because I live in a place that has torrential rains. All in all either with the ram air intake or the pre-filter installed its it's a great product. I've tested it in East Africa were I'm currently stationed and it has done a great job. I've noticed my air-filter is noticeably cleaner for longer periods between changes specially after days of use where there are no paved roads. As far as getting cleaner cooler air into the engine this is an outstanding option. I can not say wether its great for forging deep water as I have only forged water up to about 3 feet. But with forging water there are other things to consider not just the snorkel other items need to be changed or upgraded, not something i'm interested in anyway. All in all i'm very happy with the snorkel for the way I use my jeep.
Q: When the high mount is on, what prevents water from entering the opening on the low mount? Sorry I am trying to visualize this in my head. Answer this question
A: There is a silicone gasket that seals the mating surface of the two, plus the low mount inlet area. When mounting the high one, you get a new low inlet mount that is closed. There is a credit card gap area that meets the cowl but when vacuum is present it pulls the silicone gasket to it like a vent flap. I don't think that is entirely waterproof when you ford streams that would reach the hood line.

A: The lower mount has a rubber gasket that seals the opening. If you take off the top mount you just remove the gasket and the lower mount becomes the air intake.Â

Q: I have a 2020 Gladiator Sport. Would this fit if I have a Genesis Off-road Duel Battery Gen 3 installed? Answer this question
A: I think it can but there will be some tight tolerances going across the batteries. Do they have as much clearance above them as the stock battery?
