The random snorkel company invaded Ukraine? That's pretty brutal stuff -- we'll have to make sure the history books get revised accordingly.

Nice look great. I did order one then because of the war his money is was all tied up with PayPal so he gave me a refund. I waited for him to get stripe set up so I could order it again. I paid him a couple days ago. Wish me luck.
Any advise, tips, or tricks on the install?
Measure ( dry fit) 2X 3X, 4x , cut once. I taped it on my truck for fitting every time. I bought a thin rubberized liner with w/adhesive backing from Amazon . I cut it to size the side of the snorkel that touches the truck, all the way to the scoop, to eliminate rubbing and a secure fit.
i used a jigsaw w/ a very fine metal cutter To cut the hole in the panel. They provide you with a template for that.
My only regret, if I can redo mine, was to swap out the hardware that came with it. The screws were short and I had to really struggle to get it in and tighten it. Replacing it with a longer stainless one would make your life easier. And of course, SOP, paint all cut up metals and plug all holes w/ silicone
Good luck with the install. If you need more info down the line , don't hesitate to reach out.
I have the bigger/beefier versions since 2020 and i dont mind selling one but they are expensive ($1200+)
I have the prefacelift versions and they will fit perfectly but you will need to do some custom work for the inner connection to the body and airbox. I am using mine for engine cooling of components im installing

Thanks, Can you send me a link to the rubber you bought? I might try finding some of that stuff you stick to the body panel to protect against rock chips.

So my snorkel is here. Unboxed and it looks good. @RDR78 did you do much smoothing putty or Bondo before you painted? There are definitely sanding and or grinding marks on it. They sent a sweet fiberglass template that fits the vehicle nicely. Also did you paint it or did you pay to have it professionally done?
