$875. All accessories extra. Overbuilt for sure. Love the stacked tube sides.

I was rubbing my front 325/65/18 bfg ko2 on the washer reservoir still, so finally removed it and added an aftermarket $8 one next to the battery. Didn’t need to cut or splice any electronics or hoses, just drill some holes the appropriate size for the 2 pumps and sensor. I messed up the first one and it seems I got it right in the second one.

I didn’t get the bracket on yet, but I don’t think it is going anywhere.

eBay special $88 shipped now. My template holes were a little off or I did it not exact. My screw posts were too short also so I put the bolts on first, then screwed into the snorkel from the inside.

Installed a head unit a while back and love it! Worked the first time. Lots of help from online videos and a friend who did the same thing.
