River Raider Snorkel Install Part-5
My first problems trying to retro the snorkel system that I purchased used that was for a JK with a 3.8 motor…. Once I get the hose layout correct and solid and reverse the air flow through the stock box and design, and fabricate a 3 inch bracket for the top of the air box, I can then get back into the firewall part of the project. No one said this would be an easy Install. I have nothing but time, and will get this system to work, and work well!

Those videos covers what it takes to mount and modify the battery relocation plate into the 3.6 battery compartment. Also a template was made to prep for the firewall flange.

So I begin the project of taking a River Raider snorkel for a Jeep Jk 3.8 and begin the arduous process of installing it onto my 2015 JKU 3.6 This is a rare snorkel that is not made anymore. I think it’s going to be an incredible upgrade/mod. It will definitely be an incredible upgrade for Recon One and allow some deep water crossings with a true cold air intake effect! 💪🏻🇺🇸

Myself, Mike and Ren and Colin and Duane install an overhauled steering box into Ren’s Jeep. We had our struggles with the wrong size bolts, but got it all put back together to get Ren home! Great team effort!👍🏻🇺🇸

The completion of changing out my headlights as well as a new grill and other led lights installed inside the grill illuminating the radiator… nice install! Very pleased!
Get a fernco cap to close off factory intake at top of box . Stay out of deep water and avoid this project 😂😂😂😂. You’ll get it !!
@@garygroppuso5353 It’s a work in progress…. What one man can do….. another man can do…👍🏻🇺🇸
Maybe look for a large wet dry vac accessory parts may help to fabricate a new inlet from the snorkel
Looking good
Can you afford to lose the height? Would a 3/4 “ piece of plywood be better?
@@heind52 I needed 1.5 inch spacers to level the relocation platform. The bigger challenge will be the flex line into the air box…some big differences between the 3.8 setup… which I bought out of necessity…. Than retro into the 3.6 set up….
What type of degreaser are you using?
@@marksuttonrocks8414 deep purple….👍🏻🇺🇸
Nice Rick , I know you’ve wanted one of those for a long time !
@@garygroppuso5353 a very unique military snorkel… low profile…. Fun project!👍🏻🇺🇸
At 10:49 time line in video? What size lift and tires on the silver Rubicon
That’s Big Tim’s Rig… 2013 … 3.5 inch lift…. 40 inch tires.👍🏻🇺🇸
@@reconjeeper0321looks amazing
Nice!
wait, what exactly happened to it?
Three of the four mounting bolts that hold the box to the frame sheared off somehow over time. When I hit the trail, only two bolts where holding the gear box, but I had no idea. One bolt just snapped leaving only one bolt to hold the gearbox. Then the loose box moved towards the serpentine belt and started to shred it. Since we couldn't get another bolt in a hole, we removed the box so we could repair it and left my Jeep on the trail. A week later, we get back there with the sheared bolts pulled out and the stripped threads fixed with Helicoils. This video was us putting the box back in to get the Jeep off the trail.

I run the psc boc without a ram on my 13 jkur. A trac bar bra cket brace is a must to stop this from happening. I have no plans to add a ram with my 37"s and high steer setup. I am tapped for one....just in case.
Psc box
I have a Steer Smarts brace on order. Should prevent this from happening again.
Rick this must be a record upload! I just got home from this and the video is up, lol. Thanks to all the guys for helping me get Joyride out and home. Big success!
Sick!
My exact same years and 0321 MOS
so the new cables dont have springs on the end by the wheel, mine seem like they arent going to stay in place without the spring though...
@@jasonneri6422 no they do not…. They stay in place…. Don’t forget springs on e brake shoes too help when released….
@@reconjeeper0321 Good to know, when i did mine. I actually got the old springs off and added them :) but I would like to revisit it when i do my brakes this week. Thanks!
What size is the Jack
@@3eopate730 48 inch
Is that a ford 9” front?
@@heind52 I believe that’s what he said!!!
Nice job on the series Rick! That's a great ending shot too.
Looks like fun. Good video.
🇺🇸💪
Hmm, I don't see that handsome Wild Bill and beautiful Kit! I just ❤ those two!
Hopefully he’ll be on the trail soon! Enjoy the videos!!
Roll on brother
@@billtrapnell2878 Bill!💪🏻🇺🇸
Loving the grill, bad ass rig right there!
@@heind52 hello my friend…. Nice change! I hope you and Mary didn’t dance to hard to that awesome tune!😉
Nice seeing the guys out wheeling!
I am going to buy a powerful magnet to stick to my oil pan to hopefully capture the needle bearings before they get sucked into the oil pump. Plus I would just replace the lifter and pray to Jesus it works.
Just went through the same thing on mine.. Plus the needle bearings from the lifter went through the low pressure oil pump, which also destroyed the front cover, lpop and its cover. Valve kissed the piston.
@@liftedjsmith glad it’s all over… truck is up and running great!🇺🇸👍🏻
Excellent video.
@@Crystal-jr7lp thank you! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Who’s that guy winching? 😂
Looks great man.Very cool lookin rig. I can't believe how many accessories you have; and very impressive clean wiring.

Nice upgrade, looks great!

Thank you my brother!!!!
Grill looks great Rick
is there a different in exhaust sound after installing the AFE Exhaust Loop Delete ?
@@dreamcastfan6669 yes…. Ever so slight, but in all honesty… sounds a little deeper.👍🏻🇺🇸
Did you ever get a fault after driving the vehicle? I have the same issue, the screen is black and i can put it in service mode for n my 2018 compass
@@ShowtymeDesignz not faults what so ever…. It was total success!
Also… I was able some time after to purchase a new screen from Amazon…. Made by LG…. Upgraded….. about $250….. been working now like a champ! Good luck
@@reconjeeper0321 great I’m getting ready to do this now, i appreciate you
@@reconjeeper0321 i need to find that upgrade asap, was it plug and play?
Yes…. On Amazon made by lg👍🏻
Great highlight video of the club Rick! Nice job!
Thanks for putting together this series Rick. Unfortunately some breaks made this a bit of a short run but fun nonetheless!
2-0 2018 to earl 20's had defective displays in all models.
Where is this? It looks killer
thanks for the videos, quick newbie question, how much amps did you put on it ?
My friend Nate is the welder… TIG was used… not sure how many amps…👍🏻🇺🇸
❤Way to go handsome great job by you and the tank! Miss you and Kit.
Good videos! I see that 2017 Recon. I also have one of those, I love my Jeep.
Like and Subscribe people, it's our way of saying thanks for the work that goes into making these videos.
Too bad nobody got that on video. Sorry Gary, Pearl's been through a lot!
Appreciate this video, what size tires are those? I wanna throw a beefier tire on my compass latitude
Way to go guys, nice!❤
@@sherrypatten6130 thank you Sherry 👍🏻🇺🇸
Nice job boys!
yer going to get bit by a bear.
Looks great! Which Eibach kit did you go with and what did you set the front lift at 2”?
@@jw4806 it was the eibach stage 2 and it came preset to keep the front and rear level. The rear springs lift one inch and I think that actually lift the front 3 inches
Nice Job Recon Jeeper🎉🇺🇸💪
