I was planning the same thing. Just like the hmmwv! It'll be a bear to route to the passenger side but believe me you don't want it on the on drivers.

Driver's side was my plan but there's no way to get it there cuz of the wiper motor/arm/hood hinge. It's just not possible unless you use 1" tubing but that would choke the jeep.

It blocks alot more then you think when its on the passenger side. I've driven alot of hmmwv's with the deep water fording kit and when you put the little stack on it so its like a foot over the hood its really annoying. On the driver's side you'd freaking hate it. On the passenger side its tolerable.

The one i'm building now goes no higher than the wiper so it won't be in my view as much.

Other than not being close to the air box, I think it looks fine. A lot of people choose function over form, which is what this appears to be.
If you haven't browsed around at a lot of snorkel set ups, you'll find that a lot of TJ, YJ and Hummvees have a similar system.
I'd love to see a write up on this when you're done, as I'm always looking for great do-it-yourself modifications.
