Mishimoto R&D: Borne Off-Road Wrangler JL/Gladiator JT Snorkel

[Mishimoto]

Can the windshield still be folded down?

I am hoping that they are going to have a special sale coming up for both of their cold air intake and the snorkel as a bundled package.
I missed the pre-sale special so I hope @Mishimoto has something like that lined up.

Yes, the windshield can be folded down with our snorkel! And shooting you a PM now!

@Mishimoto
any plans to do a snorkel for the diesels?

We don't have a snorkel for the diesel on the plan just yet, but I'll definitely pass your interest on to the team!

Thanks,
-Steve

After a huge farce with UPS, I got my kit yesterday. Need to reach out to my local shop to see what the install will cost me.

 

[INCRHULK]

I'm got the shop installing it tomorrow. I'll put up pictures when it's done.

The Hulk, now with Snorkel. I am impressed with the build quality so far.

I am going to have to take the grid off and blast it with some Gamma Radiation Green Mojito! Green.

Very Cool and thanks for posting the photos! How is the view from inside? Does it block anything? Could you take some photos or a short video from inside?

It does not block a thing from inside. I'll get a couple of pictures after work. You can just see the top of the snokel and antenna from the driver's seat, and part of the run along the hood. It doesn't block any viewing as that's where you'd see the fender.

Okay, a couple of views from inside. First image replicates turning your head to the right. The second shows from the driver head on

Thanks, that actually helps a lot!

Isn't there a kit that makes the pipe come out of the cowl area and not the hood?

Found it

There is that but it also cuts off the access to the battery and grounding area. Plus a snorkel gets the cooler cleaner air higher up.

That’s the rugged ridge snorkel, it also has a “high rise” section as well. As pointed out, while it avoids cutting the hood, you lose access to your batteries and grounding points.

I will note that the ARB and MoPar snorkels appear to be slightly higher, maybe an inch or so. So far I’m really happy with it.

@MeanMrWolf thank you for sharing those photos and for the feedback; it looks great! I'm torn between Mojito or Bikini blue for my favorite color, but yours makes the Mojito look very, very nice.

Thanks again!

Thanks! I love Mojito! Geen, and wouldn't trade it for any other colour. If you want any product shots, let me know and I'll see about doing some up for you.

Took the risk to purchase and ship a Mishimoto Bourne Offroad Snorkel to install on my Aussie (RHD) Overland Wrangler. Mishimoto have not tested on the RHD models yet. Also I have a Gobi Stealth rack, which interferes with the install of most snorkels. Good news is that the snorkel fits with two small modifications to the brackets (done with a Dremel tool). This was to ensure clearance of the Gobi rack. Here a a couple of pictures. Overall I am very happy with the fit and look. Also it didn't require drilling into the A pillar like others.
