ARB snorkle and 2nd battery

BLUTO · Feb 4, 2004

For those of you who have installed an ARB snorkle AND have a 2nd battery up front.... What did you use for an air filter?
I'm thinking that the 2nd battery will go where the stock air cleaner is now. Is there some "generic" watertight filter canister that will filter the air from the snorkle?
thanx,
BLUTO

Thanks,
It gave me an idea, for something that I'll fab-up to replace my homebrewed airtube if/when I install the snorkle and the 2nd battery.
My materials list includes: PVC, ceramic ad-mix, foil, 4"airhose, Amsoil air filter.....

woah I can't believe they are charging 230$ for that piece of aluminum wouldn't be too hard to make your own.

I did this very mod last fall and posted a number of pics on the yahoogroups called madxj. Here is a link to the files section with the pics:

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/madxj/files/Jeffs Jeep Mods/Air Intake/

I used an intense air cannister that was black powdercoated, an ARB Snorkel, and numerous rubber elbows made from radiator hoses. I ran the snorkel directly into the engine compartment from the end of the plastic snorkel piece and through the inner fender. I also had to sink the computer into the fender to make room for the battery on my '98. Seems to be working well so far. Jeff

Jeff, I'd really like to see your underhood setup. Although I'm a member of Yahoo groups, I can't log onto the page. Do you have these pics viewable elsewhere?

My friend was supposed to make an article for www.madxj.com with many pics, but so far he hasn't gotten it done. If you can get into yahoogroups, you probably have to sign up to be on the madxj yahoo group. Once into that group, you can go to the files area, then the Jeffs Jeep Mods folder, and then air intake mods or something like that. I don't have them posted anywhere else. Sorry. Jeff

I got the link to work, thanks!
BTW, nice modification to countersink the computer.

I made my own intake using some PVC pipes. I used a 6" coupler, used a 6" to 3" reducer (2).

Trevor, could you have left the washer tank in the fender. I'd like to do something similiar but I'd like to leave the tank where it's at to save room under the hood for other 'stuff'.

I think so, the flex tube that goes from the snorkle to the new filter tube is about 4 inches before the washer bottle neck. Also note to do this you have to remove some of the ARB tube where the 90* bend is at and make it straight.
