Thanks Stone 
I think I still have the 3B air box right? Or is the same air box used for both engines?

Yup...that's right. Should bolt right up nice and tight. When I installed mine, Greg suggested that I goop the connection between the cast adapter to the side of the airbox. I used automotive GOOP for the job. Also, there were only a few rivet positions indicated by Safari to secure the adapter to the airbox...I added a few more to be sure.

i did the same, i siliconed the adapter to the box and i pop rivited all 4 corners. i just can not see how that can be a secure seal the way Safari has it and i did not want to risk sucking in water...
i highly doubt they would warrenty the engine if water did get in...

As a side....how well does/do you guys think that safari will stand up to brush clawing at it? I'mm debating whether to buy the safari or just build my own real tough

I've had branches about an inch in diameter whack at it, and there's no signs of damage. The weak link looks to be where the air ram fits into the body of the snorkel...but I haven't had anything substantial whack at that yet. The basic construction of it looks fairly tough and of good quality.
I guess I spoke too soon. Trail carnage from today. Had some friends visit from the North West Teritories...they used to be BCers. After we finished going up the hard route in Hale Creek, Harrison West, he told me about this hill that he has been trying for a long time but couldn't get further than 100 yards in his Chev K1500. So, we went up this trail that leads to the Harrison Lookout Hill. Very, narrow and steep. Managed to whack my truck a bunch of times with branches, gain new pin stripes, and misjudged the height of a log that traversed the trail. That log ended up whacking the air ram off of my snorkel.
Good news is that I recovered the air ram, but the plastic grille is toast. The three screws that secure the bracket to my windshield frame got pulled out a little. I'll probably need to find new plastic anchors to replace the ones in there. No other damage.
Only other trail carnage is a 1" hole that a branch pushed through the outer skin of my FRP top just above the left window.

The hardest part of the whole ride was having my wife in the front seat. She kept worrying about me "ruining" my truck. But I view the paint as just a way to keep the metal from rusting. It was a lot of fun...can't wait to go again. I think my buddy is going to be a future Cruiserhead. He really loved the configuration and capability of the BJ74.
I almost had to call you again to see if you had another spare window for the FRP top, Wayne...within a couple of inches.

the hole in the roof didn't bother her?

There were some tense moments there, let me tell you. My wife may be small in stature, but when she's upset I tend to listen. Judging by the size of her eyes, I knew I had some quick placating to do.
Hole now fixed by Automotive GOOP.
Yeah.. The Safari grates suck! Where is that safari guy when were providing real world feedback anyway? Stone, Make sure you turn the ram air around when brush is dense. You have less of a chance of it comming off due to branches and vines. hth

i also find that if you turn it backwards in the bush then you have less chance of sucking down pine needles, mud and water...
good point about safari dude...
cheers

Hey guys: Thanks for the tip on turning the ram backwards in dense brush...I'll do that next time. I couldn't do it before because I had rivetted the air ram to the snorkel body to prevent theft. With the ram being knocked off, it took the rivets with it...so I won't be rivetting it on anymore. Cheers.
Well?
Just outa curiousity...did you make it up the hill?

You bet. The main things about that trail were the tightness and steep grade. There were a few large rocks, but nothing too challenging for a cable locked Cruiser.
