    Thanks man.

    Yeah, it's very hard to portray the quality of the product until you get it in your hands. We just don't throw excessive markup on our products like some other companies do.

    An update on mine - the 3m double sided tape is still working fine ( see earlier post). Hardly any movement at all. I recommend trying it, but remember to bend the bracket more flush to the a pillar first if you do. And use the best quality tape you can get - not just Home Depot gorilla tape lol.

    Gents,

    How long are we seeing these batches available on the site to order? Obviously it depends on demand and quantity produced, but just looking for a general timeframe.

    I’ll be pulling the trigger here on 01APR19..... if available.

    They are in stock until they sell out. I sold a bunch this weekend. I think we will have enough in stock for the next month or so, and then we will be getting more after that.

    One warning I have for anyone that has to deal with road salt.

    Change all the supplied hardware that came with the kit, with stainless. Hose clamps, everything.

    My snorkel has been going strong and has been put to good use several times now. One question I had though, with snorkel's is it OK to go through a touch-less car wash? A lot of times if I go on a muddy trip its easier just to run through the car wash on the way home... I stay away from the touch washes for obvious reasons, but the touch-less ones now I feel like water would probably get blasted directly into the snorkel. Thoughts? I figure I'll just continue to powerwash it by hand, its no problem just curious.

    Installed yesterday. The template was a fair amount off, thankfully there is enough fender to make a few more holes. I’ll also have to make some adjustments to the bracket on the A pillar in order to make it work.

    One thing I noticed was that the template depicted in the OP shows 6 mounting holes. My template and snorkel only had 5. It’s still secure on there. Maybe it’s a new design.

    Without further adieu.....

    I noticed the same thing with the stud holes and a-pillar bracket.

    Hey, great looking truck...... I might be biased.

    Yea I was planning on using double sided tape but due to the misalignment (template and my own lack of test fitting several times) I will probably need to use the rivets. The neck of the snorkel has a little too much gap for the use of tape. I’ll need to flex the neck and hope the rivets will pull and hold it closer to the a pillar.
