    I was able to smear the urethane where I needed a seal at. Also was able to seal it kind of like you would glue PVC pipe, inserting male to female and twisting. I'll check on the dryness and flexibility here in a bit.

    Looks like @Shmellmopwho and you have very similar trucks!




    added to the list along with @Sna




    Marc, I texted you back.

    I came home to find your snorkel on my door step.

    UPS apparently attempted to delegate your parcel to the USPS due to the P.O. Box address you provided. But Somehow there was no where to deliver it. So oddly enough, It arrived back to my house as I provided my address in case it needed to be returned. I also insured each and every snorkel in case something happened with the couriers.



    Today I am sending out your snorkel out directly USPS.

    I gather that you've never owned a Dodge Ram. You can't even lean on those trucks without denting them.

    If this option is available for us canucks in the second group buy, that would be fantastic! UPS brokerage is crazy expensive.

    @tacoma16

    I think they paid $90 and $120 respectively. I had mine sent to a Kinek Point. A good option if you live close to the border.

    That's kind of what I was doing.....

    I live no where near a US border so unfortunatly that's not an option.

    I paid just over $80 IIRC. It was something like $25-35 in tax and $50-60 in brokerage. You could always try this:

    I've never done it but I know someone who has.

    Had to pay $130 at the door. Considering I usually have to pay that shit on top of the shipping price I am cool with it. All in I am still cheaper in canadien dollars than the normal price on air flows site in American dollars, shipping and price of the snorkel. Justified the enginaire intake. Thanks again @mahaloTaco, saved me some coin....well if you didn't start the group buy in the first place lol. :cheers:

    For sure. Anyone in Canada who didn't think this was a great deal even with duties, clearance fees, and taxes is nuts. The local dealers here don't sell Airflow so the only option without shipping is Safari. They will rant and rave about their "group buy" deals which come out to around $800 CAD :eek:. This snorkel made of superior materials compared to an eBay special cost me less than half of what the stealerships and 4x4 shops/parts stores wanted. That's a heck of a deal.
