    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!
    Any chance that you could take a pic of that bracket on the pillar? I haven’t installed mine yet but will be soon.

    Just a little bit at low speeds, like 40 mph. Can't hear it any other time. And what I'm talking about is driving around 40 mph with the radio off and the A/C on a low setting, you probably wouldn't ever hear it if you always have the radio on.

    I don't hear any noise from mine. Even if you do, you can put some Foam self-adhesive weather tape between the gap.

    Have you shipped a snorkel through APO or DPO before? I’m interested, just concerned the package may be too large.

    I don't recall. I think we may have. Send me a PM with your APO address and I'll quote it thru the post office.

    11 LBS
    46 x 13 x 7"

    That's the dims of the snorkel box.

    Just finished my install with the help of @max_o and I have to say that install was a shit show due to that template. That thing is complete garbage and I can not honestly recommend this product until it is completely hashed out. We followed the instructions, watched youtubes read Hokas guide and despite all that still had to do quite a bit of retrofitting if you will to get it installed and despite getting it installed completely I feel like its only about a 90% fit. The price is right for the product but the template is a whole other story.

    Price is right but if I had to do it again, I would wait a year or two for Dobinson to figure their install out.

    That’s disappointing to hear, still waiting for mine since it’s back ordered. Hopefully a solution is given soon, or I may be tempted to not install it.

    I am too. I think part of my frustration is that it is such an invasive modification that you have little room for error and there is no going back once you are committed. Because of that, the install should be as flawless as possible.

    Reason why I went to @Speed Freek for the install. He did it with ease . I’m not mechanically savy.
