Looks like it's a Dissent?
Regarding the fasteners how do you tighten them? How do I get insight the fender well? As the OP stated, there are no instructions whatsoever and i do not want to mess this installation up.
You'll need some fender liner push clips first. You'll remove the fender liner to access everything. Those pesky push clips tend to break. Get replacements off Amazon for super cheap.
I had this same deal on my fj80, great quality, great fitment. paying 400 for molded plastic is silly. great job,
Sorry to bother, but do you have the link to those clips sold on Amazon?
You can also get generic trim plugs at the local auto parts store for like $4. That's what I used. Broke about half getting them out.
As far as tightening, I think it's a 13mm nut with a nyloc insert, so "snug" would be the correct torque for those.

No bother. This is what I used. Was referred to these by another member who used them as well.

Important Clarification:
Just installed this exact snorkel today....the 5 holes are definitely 3/8" not 1/2...the OP said 1/2....then later said 3/8....use 3/8 drill bit. Another idea is to match the template to the studs prior to marking the holes on the fender. Like the OP I also had one hole that was slightly off...if you match to the template first you can make that one adjustment. Btw I think it looks great and is a great buy!

I just purchased what appears to be the same kit on eBay:
Air Intake Snorkel Kit for 98-07 Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series Lexus LX470 4WD | eBay
Using a $15 eBay motors coupon code MOTORS18. Total was $67 shipped.
I was on the fence until I saw these pics. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully, my install goes this well.

What is the ID of the main tube. I want to replace the air scoop with a Donaldson TopSpin dust filter
I'm about to start my install. What are the pop rivets supplied in the kit for?
To mount the support bracket to the A pillar. I did not do that. I plan to use a rivnut
Where would you source the Rivnuts?
Let me introduce you to our lord and savior, McMaster Carr.
Thanks! Ended up using the pop rivets since I already had a gun. Worked fine. One thing I would note on the install is to be sure and plug or silicone the water drain in the air box itself.
I too would like to know this.
I will try to measure mine over the weekend. Now that I have installed the snorkel I realize the air intake was not under the hood. It was pulling air from the space behind the plastic fender liner. Driving slow down a dusty road this was the worst location possible as the front passenger wheel is constantly kicking up dust. I may not need the topspin filter.
