As the guy with the aforementioned Aussie snorkel, it would be pretty cool if you could get the 2500 snorkel to work as it should. I think it’s definitely worth a try since the cost of that snorkel is just barely more than what I paid for freight shipping, it’ll probably just take some...

Armor Like a lot of y’all, I knew I needed additional underbody protection, especially between the front bumper skid plate and the front crossmember. I chose to get the RCI skid plate package during Black Friday and got a little bit off(I think it was 10% or something). I ended up getting the...

Also I got the ARB diff breathers but you could just probably get the same size tubing somewhere else. The stock breathers are pretty protected, I just wanted them for extra insurance since I do so many water crossings.

It just depends on where your factory airbox is, if it’s in the same place as the Hemi’s then it should work. I’m not really familiar with the eco diesel so I couldn’t say for sure. That would be a question for them though, Stormy their sales rep was really good about responding to my emails...

Yeah, in my case I put them on before I got the RCI package so it wasn't too bad. I figured if I had a snorkel there wasn't much point in not having diff breathers too so I got them put on at the same time. Just a little extra insurance for me since I have water crossings almost every time I go...

The rear is a decent height under the bed, but the front one is super exposed stock

This thread was pretty helpful for me

Ok here are some pictures of the snorkel installed. It’s 5 inches in diameter. The Platinum Mechanical kit comes with the snorkel, air box, filter, template for the fender cut, and the hardware needed. Snorkel It was around $2,300 for the kit + shipping and handling. Lead time plus shipping...

Here are some pictures of it installed, super happy with the fit and finish. Definitely different to what I was expecting having only seen safari style forward facing snorkels but it’s definitely grown on me. Something I wasn’t expecting was the on throttle intake noise is crazy, and past 3k...

Snorkel Most of the fun trails within a reasonable driving distance of me have water crossings, and I knew I didn't want to be tiptoeing around those worried every time. I didn't want to trade my truck in either, like most of us, I'd fallen in love with the power and interior of the 5th gen. I...

The truck as it sat 2 months ago.

Starting a build thread to post progress as well as to ask and answer questions and provide reasoning for some of my decisions. My truck is a 2020 Rebel level 2 quad cab. I wanted the quad cab as I rarely ever have to drive more than one other person and wanted the extra bed space since the end...

Ok I’ve since added a few things, a Platinum Mechanical snorkel, a Vice Designs hidden winch mount with a Warn 12,000 pound winch, RCI skid plates and White knuckle sliders. I’m starting a build thread to go through everything in more detail.

I keep forgetting I haven’t actually done an introduction yet. Hello all, I live in the southeast and utilize my truck for remote camping and getting to remote fishing spots, as well as all of the normal truck things. I have a 2020 Rebel quad cab level 2. I’ve had the truck since June 2020...

I got the snorkel installed today. I’ll post pics, price, lead time, etc in this thread soon, as well as starting my build thread. Just replying as motivation for myself to actually put progress in here, as well as updating everyone.

Yeah they explained to me before I ordered it the lead time+freight shipping is a long wait but since it’s the only option I don’t really mind. I’m interested to see exactly how long it’ll take to come in and I’ll let everyone know if it’s a viable option or just not worth the trouble.

There's no one stateside that that offers a snorkel made specifically for the 5th generation 1500 yet, as far as I know. The only option I could find was from a fab shop outside of Brisbane, AU. Platinum Mechanical & Suspension | Vehicle Upgrades I emailed back and forth with their sales rep...
