Sorry I did not take pics from the beginning as I did not figure anyone cared…much
The install in the fender was pretty much just place the template carefully, mark and drill.
I removed the fender to cut and drill first but would have had to anyway.
The kit comes with a cheap poorly fitting flex hose… I did not use.
It also comes with a fitting to go on the stock airbox.
I RTV’d and bolted it in place.
I wish I had taken pics but did not. I used some PVC 90degree fittings and flex hose bought at Lowes to complete the hookup of snorkel to the stock airbox. It worked and would definitely work for a Mall Crawler. However running the tube and such down under the fender and up to the airbox left it very vulnerable. Any flex and my tire would have destroyed it and this XJ of mine only has 31’s.
So I started again and went with an inline filter from Spectre. Cost was additional but I think well worth it and I’m still spending less than for a Safari. So I removed fender again and started the process of going straight to engine bay through the inner fender.
I could probably have drilled another 3” hole for the 90 degree fitting but I just cut it out to prevent and rubbing.
On the end of the snorkel inside the fender I installed the 90 degree hose.
I than put fender back on and started on the engine bay. I had also purchased the Spectre mount for the inline filter so that helped a lot. I also had purchased an older model XJ in the bay windshield washer bottle. After removing the airbox it was an easy install just ran all the connector up to back and connected back up
Notice I had to purchase a 90 degree for the intake also… this one has to be a 2 1/2 “ on intake and other end 3” for filter.
Here you can see the washer bottle it was not installed just set in for fit.
Here is the final install… if you have questions or want to see specific pics I will try and get them for you and answer any questions.
