Let me start out by saying I will never ever put a snorkle on another vehicle in my life!! :evil: The templet didnt help at all... not to mention I put a 3 inch hole in the wrong place :oops: . So after I relized I did this I broke out the welder and body filler and fixed it. So after I get all the holes drilled and cut I realized that 2 of the mounting holes didnt line up. :evil: After a while of cursing, smoking a pack of cancer sticks, and pacing around I figured it out. Then came the fun part. Instead of the hole saw I broke out the plasma cutter :twisted: . All in all my day lasted 6 1/2 hours of no fun... oh by the way I was by my self. Here are some pics of it finished. I didnt take any pics of me doing it because I probably would have broke my camera.

Add a little light where your antenna used to be....green light for starboard....then add a red on your port side.....for when you are using that snorkel.....

Templates are useless and one was missing. I used the jig.

Neither was of particular use to ThunderbirdJunkie's install either.

So beer was drank, and powertools were wielded, and a good time was had by all
