Safari Snorkel SS1130HF install write up Well, the long awaited SS1130HF finally showed up at our shop. Designed for the Jeep KJ Cherokee with the 3.7L Down Under. I was a bit unsure of the fitment due to differences in the OZ spec and US spec KJ's. What better way to test it out than to drill some huge holes in my wife's Jeep!? Note: If you are planning on installing a SS1130HF on your KJ, please note that at this time the Radio Antenna will need to modified, and you will be removing the entire front passenger fender, sliders and certain front bumpers may need to be removed to remove the front fender. Installation Time: aprox 6 hours. Step 1: Remove the fender flare. You'll need extra retaining clips to replace ones that may have broken during removal.  Step 2: Remove the air cleaner assembly, and the inlet duct can be thrown out per the directions. Step 3: Align the outer fender templates and mark the holes.  Step 4: Drill holes marked, de burr and use touch up paint to prevent rust. Step 5: Remove fender panel.  Step 6: Align inner fender template and mark.  Step 7: Drill holes marked, de burr and use touch up paint to prevent rust. Step 8: Align engine bay template and mark.  Step 9: Drill holes marked, de burr and use touch up paint to prevent rust. Step 10: Reinstall fender panel. We marked the washers and re aligned to the marks.  Step 11: Install snorkel body. Apply loctite to the studs, and and install upper mounting plate. Note: This is the difference in the US Spec and OZ Spec KJ's. The antenna location is in the way of the snorkel. The antenna can either be relocated or bent, we bent ours, and secured with a zip tie.  Step 12: Remove A-pilar molding and trim according to the instructions. Drill, de burr, and install pop rivets. Step 13: Measure 3.3" up and .35" in from the third rib and mark... Drill with 92mm hole saw, and remove all the ribs from the air intake. Install air intake connector with silicone and pop rivet through holes.   Step 14: Plug OEM intake with plate provided, and silicone drain holes on bottom of factory air box.  Step 15: Install air box and connect the intake connector with hose clamp.  Step 15: See note in step 11. Step 16: Re-install fender flares, and enjoy.

Thanks for all the kind words about the snorkel, and based upon the feed back we have received I can not stress enough, that the front fender (not the flare) has to be removed for installation of this Safari Snorkel. If you have sliders, or an aftermarket bumper, you will be removing the entire fender for this install. We had to remove the sliders to get to the two lower bolts just behind the bottom of the fender flare, and the two under the ARB bumper had to come out too. We were able to get it installed in about 5 to six hours, but we have installed a lot of snorkels. The instructions from Safari Snorkel calls for an 8 hour install time. |

Hi there, looking for a snorkel for my 2006 Jeep liberty Limited at a reasonable price I found a couple that were in the mid to hire range from 375 up I'm looking to see if there might be another one that was in the $200 range? My jeep is similar to yours, yours looks a lot better because you have that snorkel on it exclamation LOL, if you know of any different places that might be able to hook me up I'd be grateful thanks so much Chris you can email me at Chefn63@ aol.com As a liberty owner and lover you know where I'm standing right now this is been on me for a few months now to find one for a  less ridiculous cost
