2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler, 2005–2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.8L Diesel Engine
17756.23
Overview:
The Rugged Ridge XHD Low/High Mount Snorkel System is engineered specifically for Jeep Wrangler models equipped with the 2.8L diesel engine, covering model years 2007 through 2018, as well as select Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 2005 to 2010. Designed to relocate the vulnerable stock air intake to a safer, elevated position, this snorkel system helps protect your engine from dust, debris, and water intrusion during off-road adventures.
Featuring a modular design with interchangeable intake heights, the XHD snorkel allows Jeep owners to easily switch between a low-mount intake for general use and a high-mount ram intake for extreme dusty conditions or deep water crossings. This versatility ensures cleaner air delivery and reduces the risk of hydro-locking, enhancing engine reliability and longevity.
Key Features:
The Rugged Ridge XHD Snorkel System combines innovative design with practical functionality to meet the demands of serious off-road enthusiasts:
- Modular design with interchangeable low and high mount intake options for adaptable air intake positioning
- Relocates the stock 2.8L diesel air intake to a protected location below the windshield
- High-mount ram intake provides cleaner, cooler air and reduces dust ingestion in harsh environments
- Compatible with Rugged Ridge accessories including Windshield Mount Light Bar, Auxiliary Light Mounting Brackets, Sherpa Roof Rack, and Exo-Top System
- Minimal vehicle modifications required—no cutting or drilling of exterior panels
- Maintains factory appearance and allows easy return to stock configuration if desired
- Mandrel-bent aluminum construction for durability and corrosion resistance
- Works with folding windshield and removed door configurations
- Helps reduce clogged air filters and lowers risk of engine hydro-locking
- Backed by a 5-year limited warranty for peace of mind
Construction & Design:
Constructed from mandrel-bent aluminum, the Rugged Ridge XHD Snorkel System offers robust strength and corrosion resistance essential for rugged off-road use.

Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the XHD Snorkel System requires only minor modifications to the internal fender flange, eliminating the need for cutting or drilling on the Jeep’s exterior body panels. This preserves the vehicle’s factory appearance and structural integrity. The system is designed for a straightforward fit on Jeep Wrangler models from 2007 to 2018 with the 2.8L diesel engine, as well as select 2005–2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. The snorkel is compatible with folding windshield setups and removed door configurations, making it ideal for a variety of off-road builds.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
