Default Wild Question - Body Lines

Can someone help me with some measuring and angles of body lines (fender up to windshield) of a few vehicles compared to the Blaze. I'm wanting to know which vehicle has body lines closer to the Blaze for a snorkel I was thinking of putting on. Would you say the Isuzu Trooper, Cherokee Xj, Toyota Hilux, Geo Tracker/Suzuki Sidekick (Vitara), or Isuzu Rodeo/Amigo? I was thinking the Trooper but wasn't completely sure. Anybody know of the body lines from the fender up the windshield? Which is closest?

You want the angle of the A pillar in relationship of the fender.

Eh, scratch the whole snorkel idea. I looked at how much room I have on that side of the engine bay and it is a no go. There is no room in the fender over there to cut a hole. Might just go with a cold air intake and stick to trails. Cut out muddin' all together.

The only major problem he had was he had to relocate his washer fluid tank.

I don't see that great of a spot to relocate it to. The engine bay would be jam packed.

I was reading it again and he was saying he wanted to make the washer reservoir smaller. I don't know what he actually eneded up doing, or if he got that far yet.

here's his thread on it, doesn't start as his build but by the second page it turns into it.
