    I was considering installing it next to my right leg on the center console. That would be a nice low-vis spot to put it. We'll see if I bust out the dremel today.

    Figured it out. M6 bolt. Got 35mm but shorter would have worked too.

    Got a favor to ask- can anyone get me a measurement on the bolt that mounts the air cleaner (i.e. air intake) to the engine? I don't have those set aside from when I took the air intake off and don't have a way of securing the air intake now that the snorkel is on. Shouldn't take but a minute to take one of em out and shoot a picture if anyone is bored!!

    There are two of them, roughly on the two front corners of the large black air intake/cleaner assembly.
    It's part number 90119-A0279 if that matters to ya.

    Saving in case someone runs into the same issue.

    Looks great! As soon as I get the suspension done and new tires, I'm moving the snorkel up the list :thumbsup:

    That looks nice there - really pops since you're a super white truck.

    You and @Texoma can fight for it.

    I'll also do a straight swap for a factory e-locker plus smooth hood. :fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed:

    This is part of my plan tomorrow. I've read that harbor freight has a good enough one for pretty cheap.

    I got my skids set prepped and primed. They will get their paint tomorrow. Are these hard to install for one person?

    I also got my cbi ditch light brackets installed. All in all, productive day!
