More detail to come...

Everybody loves pics...









I've started the teardown this week: My old friend Tim wants both front doors, seats, and center console for his 'manche project.

Updates to come...

Robert

I like the look of them.. (Guess It's a Jeep Cherokee Thang) Yeah they will hang up on things...Robert has removed the top of his several times on the trail to keep from breaking it.

Robert, happy to hear everything worked out.. Let me know if ya need any help. The snorkel looks in great condition,very interested..

I'll give you a call this weekend.

Nick

Some of it's necessity: The factory air intake is actually under the driver's headlight. Nosing down into even a fairly shallow water crossing can turn the 4.0 into a wetvac.

And sure, some of it is cosmetic: I do think the XJ snorkel compliments the vehicle lines better than most.

And you know all us XJ guys are posers, we gotta look good at Macy's!

Nick: It is about mint (not like mine!), and you're first in line for it. I'll pm ya...

Robert
