I'm looking for a new snorkel to get for Christmas and I have a wrangler tj unlimited 06 and it's hard to find a nice and non expensive snorkel for it. Does anyone know where I may be able to get a cheap snorkel at?

I put the ARB snorkel on my '05... but I snagged it off of craigslist for $150 when a guy bought it but before it arrived he totaled his Jeep & just had the snorkel lying around collecting dust... I love it but it collects bugs easily (pantyhose fixes this... & mud too)

You can turn it to the side or to the rear if you want to avoid this...

Something that folks can lose sight on when buying a snorkel, save for those of us that are former Marines whom have driven M151 jeeps. For fording not only the intake needs a snorkel......
when off loading from landing craft it ws important that the exhaust would be above water as well~otherwise it's similar to the old bananna up the tail pipe.
I like to yarn the tale of the procedure of driving these off the landing craft;
Note the two snorkels are above the cab? The driver doesn't get a snorkel (those are for the swabbies~just kiddin')
Before off loading you'd push the foot throttle down about 1/3 -1/2 and pull out the hand throttle, then stand on the body tub rail with your right hand on the steering wheel, and keeping your chin up!
Go figure, I always find a beachbreak hole~blub blub

The way I see it, its an insurance policy. Sure, you can get water in the distributor, but in my experience, that tends to stop you AFTER you crossed the water. You can also kill many different sensors, or have a number of electrical issues. But I would take any ofthis issues over a drowned engine, especially out in the boonies...
Merry Christmas (belated) to you!

Seems things hadn't changed much since the date this photo was taken and when I was serving ~~>Something that folks can lose sight on when buying a snorkel, save for those of us that are former Marines whom have driven M151 jeeps. For fording not only the intake needs a snorkel......
