Default thinking about making a snorkel

I've looked almost everywhere for an aftermarket snorkel for my blazer I haven't had any luck. I was looking and I have an idea that might work. I'm kind of iffy about cutting my fender but. the only problem I see that I might have is relocating my wiper fluid container. I was wondering if anyone else has tried to make one or would have any suggestions on how to build the snorkel

OK so it's a first gen and it looks like crap but it might help.

I also think ARB makes them but it would be expensive, as everything from ARB is.

Check this one out,it was fabbed up by Beat My Jimmy and it comes out of his hood. The nice thing about this is I guess if you did not want to cut up your good hood you by a replacement of fiber glass one and swap it out. It is on a first gen but it might give you some ideas.

I have an idea, but it would be kinda expensive, get an aftermarket hood, and run it out near the windshield and split it to go up both sides of the windshield....

So basically a Y shape straight towards the winshield, and split it with enough room left for the wipers to move.... Just an idea

get a cowl hood and have the snorkel come out, to the side and up... the hood would still open, and you're not cutting any stock body parts... any body parts period actually.

Edit:
I'm assuming you found this thread since you were talking about your washer bottle...

I didn't see that thread about a snorkle but that is exactly what I want to do. and yea I've stalled out my blazer going through a puddle... luckily I was going pretty fast and it made it through the puddle and it started up after ripping out the intake and draining the water... so I'm afraid to go through deep puddles anymore...
