AEV Snorkel! New Jeep Gladiator Overland Build for 2024! Ultimate Jeep Rubicon Diesel Build Part 2

#jeepgladiator #overland #snorkel

For 2024 we are building a brand New 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon Diesel! Watch as we transform this Jeep from stock to overland adventure vehicle! But we're Just Getting Started!

This week we are Installing the @AmericanExpeditionVehicles JL/JT 3.0L EcoDiesel Snorkel on the 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. I understand this video may be long, but I wanted to take away any reservations you may have about doing this project yourself! With a some basic tools, and a little patience, you too can install one of these sleek AEV Snorkels.

I also want to say a huge thank you to Andy @Knkut Drill Bits and Cutting Tools They provided me a set of drill bits to use on projects last year during Jeep Beach. I've truly been able to see a difference in using professional tool and die quality drill bits. www.KNKUT.com

There are some misconceptions about a Snorkel, and really it does three major things: 1) If properly installed, it mitigates flooding out your engine or hydro locking it during a deep water crossing. 2) It raises the Air Intake to pull in cooler cleaner air away from your hot engine compartment. 3) When coupled with a Pre-Cleaner like the Sy-Klone, it helps prevents clogging of the filter with dust, bugs, sticks and other debris from the trails to the high desert.

When you buy a Jeep you don't really buy it for fuel milage. With all the markdowns and the fact the Eco-Diesel is going away; it was either now or never to step into a brand new Eco-Diesel Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, untouched, not abused, not tuned, and not having issues due to lack of maintenance. Diesels in general retain their value more than their gasoline counterparts.

With less than 2,000 Miles on the Jeep we're getting this build started for our upcoming Adventure Season! We're going to Build it Right!

I Absolutely want to Thank our New Partial Build Sponsors!
We will be featuring the install of our new Dual Swing out Tire Carrier and Bumper in an upcoming Video

If you answered this in the video I am sorry for missing it. On AEV website they state "Jeep has issued TSB 18-003-23. AEV recommends this TSB be performed before the installation of AEV snorkel system" Did you have this done? If not, Do you see any issues by not doing it? Also how much does it affect your blindspot from your just the pillar? Thank

I plan on getting this for my diesel JT, I also plan to get the kc pro lights. That mount on the pillar I wonder if I can weld it to the kc bracket
