Snorkel Problems?

[Jeep012]

I just bought a safari snorkel, (coming in a week or 2) and they're telling me im going to have problems with my half doors and soft top ect.

what problems will i run into? or is this all just blown out of proportion . .

Not gonna bad mouth any companies, but i was told i would have trouble taking half doors off?

im guessing not..

[Jeeps]

Yes and No.

It will fit fine and it will interfere with removing the soft door uppers. All that is required is a small extension or washers to the upper bolt to make the snorkel sit a little bit further forward so it doesn't get in the way of the upper. Some jeep mechanics/specialists/parts suppliers know this but most ARB centres don't because they deal with toyo/nizmos all day and rarely touch a wrangler.

I think he meant removing the doors completely from the vehicle Jeeps. As in lifting them off the hinges.

Removing the door uppers - you can either mount the snorkel like Jeeeps said - or you can just snip about 3cm off the front prong....will still mount properly but will give the room required to fit.
Removing the lower door - This is a PITA with the Safari snorkel - bascially you need to all but remove the snorkel......

Snorkel is all fitted,

no porblems appeared that couldnt be fixed . .
some mistakes were made, without mistakes theres no learning.

Nah it's just the uppers that get in the way.

Glad to see it worked out well :)
