    anyone ever done or thought of it. I want to snorkel my truck but with my glassworks fenders I'm not putting an arb on it. Doesnt look like the easiest but I'd imagine it's possible to route an intake pipe back to the passenger side bed cubby. That would be very low profile and wouldn't have to cut up the fender. Thoughts anyone?

    Yes sir
    Wouldn't that look kinda funny? I feel like that would be a bit of a pain to route it that way; wouldn't you have to route it below the cab and then up to the bed cubby?

    Probably not possible but does anyone know where the fresh air intake for the heater/ac on these trucks?

    Ive owned wranglers my whole life and there are ways of routing your intake into that fresh air intake/vent for a snorkel. On wranglers anyway, the fresh air intake is on the cowl behind the hood.

    Could be a possibility?

    I'm no expert on intake physics but wouldn't that negatively impact things routing an intake that far back, as I'm sure doing so would require many bends and turns. There is a thread in here about routing the intake to the hood cowl, as well as someone ran it along the fender into the firewall.
