Yes whats the piece I am referring to.. I Think Ill be ok, will just have to be careful. Saturday I will have a better idea of what I can do and put something together.

I think that will definitely help get air to the filter. When it comes to water fording, you just need to make sure your careful when the front end of the XK enters the water (make sure its not over the bumper) and when crossing make sure the wake of the water doesnt come over the hood. Other than that theres really nothing to worry about especially since you took care of the bottom of the filter that was wide open. I think the only place that you would have to worry about in our upcoming trail rides is Lake Christy if you attend the Rausch Creek trail ride. Last time I was there I crossed it without having a snorkel and I had no issues. I just stayed to the far right where the water wasnt as deep. The best part is if you dont feel comfortable you dont need to take your jeep in there.

Being careful seems to be an ongoing topic off-road hahaha.. Ill play it by year with Lake Christy and will probably follow someone elses line thats not to deep and like you said if I dont feel comfortable I wont do it.. AS of right now that front tube is not there and its getting plenty of air to it, what I may do is just reinstall front tube for trail rides??? Its very easy the grill pops right off and this goes in. If you look at the pictures it has a flat piece in front that works as a shield almost which is why Im considering throwing it back in and maybe modding it..

Thats a good idea. Will it still connect right to the lower portion of the air box since you modded it?

It should as its wedged in pretty good, its on the list to figure out Saturday. With how easy the grill pops in and out, its really a no brainer. If it doesnt affect performance I may leave it in and create a whole custom bottom and front airbox, havent decided yet will have to see once I get everything apart

Well I told everyone Id update this thread when I came up with a better idea and today was that day!! When I was at Adams yesterday he gave me some extra thin rubber that he had a roll of. I made my own custom lower intake shield and front shield by the radiator. I used some RTV to seal everything together. Now I have complete protection from water underneath and much better coverage from the front. Here are some pics of the install..
