Dude I just remembered!! STOP!

You have to put the template on the fender on the truck. We adjusted the template back twords the rear, having the paper template about an inch hanging over on the door seam. This lined up the snorkel better on the pillar. You can not simply line up the template on the fender lines and go by the antenna. I would say the template is a reference source but not an exact fit. Just would hate to see you set up the fender with the snorkel then not have the bracket line up on the windshield pillar. I kept holding up the snorkel body best I can to make sure everything would line up.

My antenna isn't centered, here's some reference pics





Everything I said is in my experience, just letting you know there are variables to the install.

 

pretty sweet dude! Thanks!!

Thanks man! I'll reseat the template tomorrow once the fender is on and before I start any hacking. Appreciate the help Chux!

 

No probs. Just set the template then hold up the snorkel in refererance to the template, then eye ball the pillar, antenna, bolt holes, and main intake hole. See if it's to your liking and go for it! Good luck

 

Take lots of pictures OP

Please

 

Just have to remember measure and check 15 times drill once

 

I'll just leave this here..

 

Of course you would

 

you bro?

 

Yelp and not afraid to admit it

 

Thanks man

Now it's @scottalot 's turn!

I'll have more pics to post for you later on or tomorrow @iJonny tonight is date night with the fiancee and I have to clean up and get ready

 

I might order an airflow when taxes come back

 

Not acceptable! We come first.





I KEED






Enjoy being a fiancee while you can. After she says I Do, you've gotten your last BJ.

 

This is true

 

Nice man! I was going to go with the Airflow but I couldn't pass up that sale at Cruiser Outfitters for the Safari. I do like the Airflow and how it is made for the truck, but the clean lines of the Safari overpowered the Airflow..

Factory no one had the antenna tool in stock to be able to remove it for at least a week..I was impatient..couldn't wait with a wheelin' trip coming up next weekend..

 

I think it is above the driver and passenger's heads not in the A-pillar..unless there's wiring for the airbags there

I stuck mine on there..if I ever plan on going through thick brush, then I will screw it on. Honestly, like everyone says, the fender bolts make it VERY solid without the A-pillar attached at all.

 

No airbags deployed today

Also got the email that my SOS shackle flip brackets shipped today!! MIGHT shoot for install next Friday if they come on and my brother's buddy allows use of the shop! Thanks Eddy!

 

I think it'll be less nerve wracking than the snorkel and pretty straight forward..just a lot of work to get those damn rivets out..I still have to take the shackles and the brackets to the powder coater though likely won't happen before the trip next weekend..oh well, need to slow things down a bit and focus on the holidays and friends and family for now as long as the flip happens before April 1st I'll be fine..so I have some time

 

I will be taking many pics! That would be cool if you could tag along! I am not looking forward to the either, but luckily I have bear sized friends to tackle them haha
