Rugged Ridge AmFib Snorkel Ram Inlet Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU & Gladiator JT | 17756.37

Overview

The Rugged Ridge AmFib Snorkel Ram Inlet (Part #17756.37) is the purpose-built replacement inlet cap for the Rugged Ridge AmFib High Mount Snorkel System, designed specifically for 2018–2020 Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU and 2020 Jeep Gladiator JT owners. Whether you've suffered trail damage or simply need to refresh your existing AmFib snorkel system, this direct-replacement ram inlet keeps your high-mount air intake fully functional — pulling clean, elevated air into your engine and protecting it from moisture, dust, and debris during off-road water crossings. Built from UV-resistant thermoplastic with a sleek factory-matched black finish, it's engineered to look like it belongs on your JL or JT right from the factory floor.

Key Features & Benefits

• Direct Replacement for AmFib High Mount System — Caps off the High Mount Intake Tube to restore your AmFib snorkel system to full functionality, ensuring your engine receives clean, elevated air on the trail.
• Elevated Air Intake Design — Draws air from above the Jeep rather than from lower engine bay sections, providing critical protection against hydro-locking when fording shallow rivers, floods, and water crossings at speed.
• Maximum Dust & Water Sealing — Engineered for superior sealing performance to keep moisture and fine trail dust out of your air intake path, extending filter life and protecting engine internals.
• UV-Resistant Thermoplastic Construction — Lightweight yet highly durable molded thermoplastic resists UV degradation, weathering, and impact abuse from daily driving and aggressive off-road use.
• Factory-Matched Black Finish — Sleek matte black finish is styled to accent and blend seamlessly with the Jeep JL and JT factory trim, giving your rig a cohesive, purpose-built appearance rather than an afterthought add-on.
• Tool-Free Clamp Installation — Secured with a 3-inch clamp for fast, straightforward installation — no cutting, no drilling, no body panel modifications required.
• Trail Damage Protection — The upper snorkel inlet is the most exposed component to branches, brush, and trail hazards; having this affordable replacement piece on hand means your snorkel system is never out of commission for long.
• C.A.R.B. Exempt — The Rugged Ridge AmFib Snorkel System is California Air Resources Board (CARB) exempt, making it legal for street use in all 50 states including California.
• 5-Year Limited Warranty — Backed by Rugged Ridge's 5-Year Limited Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, covering the initial retail purchaser for peace of mind on every adventure.
