Oh good eye! I totally missed that!
@Guyute is the shroud deeper than the OEM? Looking really slick now dude.
Thanks, Man.
Not sure on the depth comparison. Had the earlier metal shroud and it had been ugly modified at some point. So knew I'd be replacing. The TT radiator is a little longer and wider and the shroud holes didn't line up for me. Was also worried the yellow dot fan wouldn't fit. Fan is about 1" wider. Didn't take many pictures comparing. Fan tucks into the shroud the same as my old set-up though.
Found these.
Old shroud w/ new radiator >
Trimmed a wee bit for the lower radiator tube, cut those tabs off. Also made brackets to hold the shroud's center section snug to the HD foam seal.
1/2" x 8 = little more better
Started the cut and buff on the paint. Not going crazy on it, but leveling it pretty good.
Looking better and better!
Looking better and better!
whats your process?
Took a country drive this afternoon to enjoy some classic Montana spring weather.

Nice to know that some part of this nation still gets precipitation and cool air.
If that were here in Michigan, it would mean putting your Cruiser back away for a couple of weeks to get some rain to wash the stupid salt off the roads!
Otherwise, it looks great!
they salt the roads pretty much everywhere nowadays, here in Az they started spraying a brine a few years back. many places are even doing a magnesieum chloride, THAT is way more corrosive than just salt.
after ADOT started doing it i made a little sprayer in the driveway that i can turn on and drive the vehicles over, and i started an undercoating regimine.
The Mag Chloride thing started here too. They use salt/sand at intersections and Mag Cloride down the lanes. Lovely.
Kind of like forced obsolescence on land cruisers as punishment for them not having engineered obsolescence
Factory snorkel install…. Small steps. Measure a million times, cut once.
Cut twice and it's still too short 
Apparently there are some odd weather patterns going on this spring. That said, last spring around this time the pass just east of town got over 10" of snow. The interstate was closed for over 10 hours.
I've heard they use calcium chloride around here during the winter, still fairly nasty stuff. Not much point putting anything down yesterday, snow on the roads was gone by morning.

Top tank sensor?
Had an Auber temp sensor in the top radiator hose. The new TT radiator has a port tapped in the top tank for a juice level sensor. Used that for the temp sensor and ditched the radiator hose adapter thingy.

Ugh, I don't need it at all but it's still so cool.
It came out sweet. People always forget the airbox. Having the correct airbox is key to a snorkel install.

Airbox is an absolute must - none of this hack bs.
Agreed. Considering the price of a new unit vs. labor involved in hacking up a non-snorkel airbox, it's a no brainer.
