I have the rugged ridge snorkel on my Jk… I love it for 2 reasons... I can hit puddles fast without worry when they surprise me, and in high dust driving it seems like the higher air intake helps the filter to not get so much dust! Ok maybe there is a third... when little kids come ask me at...
I finihed out the skids with a Synergy Cross-member skid... I then fabricated a transmission guard to the front of it... I hacked the stock transfer skid and attached it to the Synergy skid... and it has all held up well.
