Yeah, sorry! BTW, I am also of dubious stature and live on a little (some say small) island but my son would kill me if I sold our only Kick!
So, I am also thinking about a snorkel (my last truck had one but that was 6" pvc to feed a propane injected 6.2 diesel ... )
I know that my Sidekick is different than the Sami but I think the Kick feeds the air filter from inside the driver side fender. I am going to pull off the fender and stick 2" pvc in there that leads to that funny little non-functional piece of tin behind the hood and hopefully have it pop up through there before it runs up the pillar so that it is a little less likely to get ripped off by brush. From previous experience I really recommend trying to route the snorkel behind the fender as much as possible. That said, I find it a lot easier to avoid things in a Sidekick than a Suburban
