    I think he did but he can answer. Mike messaged me if I don't skip step 6 and take everything step by step, it's going to fit and be fine, A-Pillar bracket included.

    You have quite the rig! My install is happening the morning after Christmas day so I'm pretty excited seeing your results. I was going to have it installed last Saturday but I think my original installer chickened out because he kept pushing me back a week on two separate occasions.

    It was planned to, however I was so excited to put the snorkel on and forgot to put the A pillar bracket before I tighten all the screws and fender liner all together... so I end up just just some adhesive 3M form to filled the gap. So far so GREAT! :)

    I might be in the minority but I like the way these snorkels look on our trucks. I feel like it’s so ugly and functional that it looks good. Kind of how like a Jeep Wrangler, it’s ugly but functional and thus looks cool.

    Patience is a virtue! lol, I need to talk to my dealership's service manager because of my warranty to make sure that it won't violate it

    I got in on this in the first round but looks like I'm going in a different direction with my build. If anyone is interested shoot me a message and I'll sell it for the group buy price I paid plus shipping. I'll post it in the general for sale section next week but figured I'd give those watching this thread first dibs :)

    After drove my truck with the snorkel for a month, I put the A pillar bracket back on to prevent vibration from gusty wind. So far so good and still loving it.

    I bolted to the A-Pillar. I thought I posted in this thread, I posted in the other one on accident. Everything went perfect.
