    OK, so what would my options be after removing my safari snorkel to deal with the holes in the fender....other than replacing the fender? I feel like I need some brainstorming help....

    Rivet some diamond plate over the hole. All the Jeep guys will love it. :D








    You can get a new fender for $65 and get it painted :notsure:

    IDK, may just leave it be. I did price a new fender from one of my friends, it's only $65 plus paint...

    How about trade your fender to him and buy his snorkel...best case is if your taco is same color then he is golden, worst case he needs to have it painted.

    Think it would be a lot to ship but I'd definitely be open it the cost was right. I'd even through my afe cold air intake if u through in your stock air box with it ;)

    I actually have been giving thought to getting rid of the snorkel, arb bumper, and 8k lbs warn winch...for better fuel economy. I have changed jobs and now I am driving 80 miles a day. I really dont know how much it would help though. I tried the gogas 93 without ethanol and gained 4mpg. Right now I'm at 20mpg but thats driving like gramma and not going over 55...even on the interstate. smh

    I still love the look though....So, I'm torn!

    That's pretty good. Mines stock other that OEM lift and 265/75R16's and I get 18 mpg. Maybe remove the winch and see what happens.
