    Thats about what we had to do, it wasn't fun trying to get those holes to align with the bolts but for the most part, a lot of the bolts had to go up and back.

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    I appreciate your reply.

    NP!

    I'll be clear though that it wasnt an exact science because after we drilled the template holes it became trial and error and lots of cussing and banging and eventually got it. I think 4 holes had to be redrilled/widened

    Yeah, I bought this taco new. Being a little apprehensive on this snorkel install. But the ARBs in the past had the same issues on some of my other rigs.

    I figured someone would have posted up a new template by now for proper hole location. Wink wink Mike

    I haven't installed mine because I was sort of hoping they would just send new templates out to those of us who ordered the first batch.

    Yeah I made sure I was home to sign, I looked at those prefilters but it just seems like it will stick out like a sore thumb... like a snorkel won’t :rofl:

    hahahahhaaha, that made me laugh so hard. The photo of the guy walking away....

    Yeah, had too many people getting stuff stolen off porches and a box like that sticks out worse than one of those prefilters!!!

    Pretty soon, you will all be taking action shots with your new snorkels. All I did was put the screws on the snorkel, then put the template on the screws and punch it through so you know what screw hole is off.

    Mine showed up a day early! I wasn’t gonna be home for a signature but since it came today I got lucky. Looking at the template it appears there is 2 holes that are off DCCE4A41-DD19-431C-BE81-6EF9C4110EFA.jpg

    Trees like that and a Texas tag. Either you are on vacation or on the Eastern edge of the state.
