    Yessir. I didn't use the rivets on the A-Pillar, but the install was pretty straightforward. Took my time to make sure the template lined up perfectly and it was all downhill from there.

    Picked one up today from a TW member who decided against installing the snorkel. Everything looks to be in order, except the installation instructions. Anyone happen to have them handy they can share?

    Didn’t come with any, they have a write up that can be found in the OP.

    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 wanna see this vid. I watch all your other ones, so if it will help me from drilling holes in wrong locations, please do share.

    Yeah. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that he's cool with it. This forum is here to help other TW members with pretty much anything related to these trucks. Having a known issue with the install template, it would be absolutely ridiculous for anyone to oppose. Heck, he might even add it to the OP.

    Also, I thought the template was fixed? That needs to be a top priority for them. The template has nothing to do with the actual product and they can help people, who are already understandably nervous about cutting the body of their trucks, not make mistakes when cutting holes in the body of their trucks.

    Heck, send me one for free, I'll make a new template, scan it and send it back for payment. :boink:

    The template really isn’t that bad, I had to open up 3 holes to about double what it should have been. In the end it lines up well with the body line and having the extra wiggle room helped. But the template is supposed to be updated in the next production shipment from what I understand.

    For all the guys that did the install, do those spots look about right from all your experiences?

    Thanks, Mike

    Hey Mike,

    I remember having to redrill up and back from the template holes but I don’t fully remember. You’re already off to a better start than I with your sharpie markings.
