Great find!

I like the exhaust, the winch and how they've moved the spare up top. Anyone know what kind of winch that is? I've always wanted to add one, but never been able too afford an aftermarket bumper.

Looks awesome. Tires look wider also. Love the snorkel and the exhaust (would worry about the heat on the plastic though).

It looks like they stretched out the center section of the bumper to fit the winch in there. Looks awesome though.

The exhaust doesn't get very hot at the tip. Mine doesn't anyway, its been sitting against the bottom of my bumper forever, I forgot to fix it at first and then noticed that even on hot summer days the exhaust wasn't hot enough to melt or even soften the bumper.

But this is just what I have experienced.

I have the magnaflow pipe.

They're an aftermarket shop not a dealership....I've got an email in to them to find out about the snorkel.

There is apparently a snorkel already available on the market for export KJs at least. I have seen many pics of them as well as what look to be manufactured (not custom) bumper and grille guards. ARB lists one in their catalog, but no part number or pricing. There is a label on the one pictured, but I cannot make it out.

Some of the pictures show the snorkel and some don't. Is it detachable?

ARB says that the Snorkel they sell are for the XJ Cherokee, and will not fit the KJ.

Here's where I found the snorkel on their site: http://www.indiancars.fr/fr/pages/acces ... f=037&ii=2

To get to it from the link in the original post in this thread, Les Accessoires -> Select Cherokee, then click Raids.

Safari's website does not list on that fits the KJ.

Sure looks like one from their home page pic...looks like there is a stock Wrangler sitting in there and along with all the other jeeps around...but maybe that is a french thing...buy all new jeeps and then sell them tuned and tweeked...kinda like RUF for Porsche i presume?

The winch is installed on the oem bumper, i did the same thing to install my warn M8000 on my oem bumper, looks great, look at the snorkel images, it seems that you can't open the hood with the snorkel on going in front or i'm wrong?

I think the snorkle is a proto. It would require modification of the hood and/or the bumper so a gap would exist between the two for it to snake through. The shots with it seem posed while the others are more action shots. If it was real you would see that jeep up to the windows in water.

That is a bit ridiculous for a price. Safari snorkels for the TJ, YJ, and Rubi go for $290 at Rocky Road Outfitters. Found the Toyota and other SUV prices to be about the same.

There is no way in Hades that I would pay that price for a snorkel.

Not sure why it would have to cross over the windshield like that either. seems like it should go right up in line with the pillar.
