Yes I have one. It is absolutely a top notch product. I had it on for about 9 months. I removed it a few months ago, after realizing that I'll never go in water above my airbox (which currently sits at around 4'). If I'm ever planning a trip where a snorkel is absolutely necessary, I can pop it back on in no time.

It looked bada$$ on there though.

x2 as for a recommendation - although I got the pre-filter vs. the straight intake and get sick of comments about my gumball machine.

GE2 and I may be biased though, since we also have the AEV hoods and so this is a bolt-on and when you take it off, you can put the screen back in. If you have the stock hood, you will have to cut it, so you are a bit more committed.

If you got VisionX *ANYTHING* for $100 then you just won the lottery. Vette and I both have multiple VisionX products and they are AMAZING-- but not cheap. Shoot, I even have a flashlight from them that cost more than $100. YOU SCORED BIGTIME. For example...... retail on the S6100s that Vette has up on his windshield is around $600...... EACH.

^^ Yes it is, and ge2 , i know the flash light your talking about, it was 170 or something same place i got my lights. it's super bright. Have you heard of the soltice lights? WOW they are probably an inch to two big, but they throw off some big time light. Those were 140 or something i think for two. Then also they rock lights, those were awesome. But again sorry to hijack.

Offroad Heros makes the top. The full package is $1100. Takes eight years to get one (jk, but ordering one upfront not for the faint of heart).

Here's a reference thread: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f96/offroad-heros-top-install-4dr-779158/

And that's a screaming deal on the Vision X lights. I love mine - super bright and well made product, but I think I paid closer to $1000 for my set. Sure you aren't missing a zero?

They are the Solstice LED ones, btw. If you think the smaller lights throw some lumens around, you should see what they do with these bigger ones! Like GE2 says, I also have their fogs on the bumper and a bar on the hood (not the 42" one that he has though ) and they ain't cheap lights, but they are a great product.

Back to the topic - yes, the AEV snorkel fits snug where the passenger side venting is on the AEV hood.

They make a lot of lights - all quality products.

The ones I have on the windshield are the 6101s, http://www.visionxoffroad.com/led/s6100/

And the light bar I have is the XIL-320, http://www.visionxoffroad.com/led/xmitter/

Even their 6010 Halogen 6" lights are retail $250+ a set, so $100 is a deal no matter what lights you got from them.
