That's what I'm interested in. A snorkel that fits with bushwackers. No bushwacker modification required. You know like the AirFlow snorkel?

Construction material would be nice, as well.
There was a seller on eBay selling ARB knockoffs made out of fiberglass, IRC.
Those would have been susceptable to trail damage.

I think you're going to have to provide a lot more information before people will be willing to risk $250.

That's an ARB Safari Snorkel (or something pretending to be an ARB Safari Snorkel if it's made from inferior materials such as fibreglass!) with the airbox adapter, hose, fixings and mounting template. It's for the pre-facelifted XJ as there is no washer bottle included.

So it still won't work with Bushwackers unless you modify the Bushwackers.

So pre-97 then...

Only on the web.

I believe that link is one of the sites I put in my favs so I could find it when I had the money.

It will work with any XJ.

It's just that ARB included a replacement water bottle in the snorkel package for post 97 XJ's. As the water bottle is not in the picture, I presume this is marketed as a pre-97 snorkel package.

The snorkel and fittings are the same in both packages.

If it's going to be fitted to a post 97 XJ, just find a suitable replacement water bottle from a junk yard.

Don't forget that the Airflow can't be fitted to XJ's with ABS as the ABS pipes get in the way. You won't have to modify Bushwackers with an Airflow snorkel though.

I'd save up and get that Airflow snorkel then.
