So I am putting the Safari Snorkel on my BJ74, and the part that attaches to the windshield sits too far back by about 1-2". I guess the fold-down windshield design is different than the BJ70.
Just wondering what you other BJ74 owners with snorkels have done to attach it?
Had the same problem on mine, I was a tad lazy and took the easy rout, bend the supplied bracket until it mostly fits, then also be sure the silicone the s*** out of the holes your about to drill into the pillar.

I had to the same thing. After bending the bracket I had to use hex bolts and an Allen key to inset the bolts, due to insufficient clearance. A bit mickey mouse, but the end result was strong enough.
now i should rephrase that question...
did you test that template for proper fit? the reason i ask is i have had a number where the template was badly off...
well, hind sight is 20/20.
basicly the rear of the snorkel is sitting about 3/8" low, take the snorkel back off and elongate the holes, this will give you the travel forward you need, then just push the top in and i pop rivit them on. that seems to hold extremely well.
