Got some work done on the snorkel setup.
I cut out the bottom of the old air cleaner and welded a strip of steel around it.
Then I cut out the center of the air cleaner lid
I set it on top (not welded yet)
later I will cut a hole and insert a piece of 4" exhaust tubing
Last thing I did was sand the inside of the housing and prime it. Next time I'm at the garage I will paint the inside and either run caulk or RTV along the inside bottom edge where it was welded to ensure a air tight seal. Also the stud that holds down the air cleaner housing was just a little too short. I unthreaded it a few turns and now I can re-use the factory wingnut.
Here's a pic of the Subaru Brat jumpseats I got last weekend. I'm going to try and mount both of them in the back, but if I decide there isn't enough room I will just mount one of them.

What do you mean by stock snorkel?

The set up that comes on later model trucks, it has a rubber seal where the two pieces go together and an outlet
dude that motor is clean!!just giving you a hard time man..looks good seriously..im tunning in on the seats cause now with my truck and the flat bed everyone want to ride unlike when i had the blazer with 4 seats no one wanted to go
Oh are talking about the style with the filter housing mounted on top of the wheel well, then a rubberhose going to another housing on top of the engine?
This is working good for me, so far I have about $30 invested and I should be under $100 when its all done
Lol I'm not touching that motor till it blows
I got enough on my hands as it is
you start cleaning it and it might not know what to do...it might blow up then..better leave it alone lolLol I'm not touching that motor till it blows
That's the plan

Nice I was thinking about making something like that so the filter can only suck from the firewall side. I wont be goin in any top truck challange deep water so I'm just worried about what splashes through the grill and from the underside of the engine when you hit a water hole hard.
Busy weekend, made some more progress on the snorkel, flatbed, and rear upper shock mount. Pics later, but I did snap a pic of my new 205 PTO cover Kert at DIY4X cut out for me

Trans cooler mounted. Still have to hook up lines
Rear shocks are mounted and rear brakelines are done
Also cut out the floor for t-case and shifter clearence
