This thing looks like a blast! I saw your video post the other day on facebook of the snorkel. Any better shots on how it looks on the body? Always interested in options for snorkel retrofits for these S-series since NO ONE makes a direct fit them for some reason...

You can kinda see in these two where the back side is basically flat with one body line in it. Would definitely fit better if it was curved to match the fender. But really, it doesn't fit bad at all. And super cheap on ebay. I'm happy with it so far.

i just noticed your truck has the oil cooler cover/engine splash guard
if possible, would you be willing to sell it? - the splash guard not the truck - either when the truck finally meets its end or if you just want to get rid of it to make a better one that actually protects stuff, i've been looking for one since i got my truck and they're hard to come by. as far as i know 2 door and 4 door trucks have the same mounting for the splash guard.

Awesome rig by the way, love the name, things ate to the gills though, looks gnarly.

Yeah, 2dr and 4dr are the same. That last video shows how mine is busted after it fell off the trailer and got impaled by the jack. I sandwiched the factory plastic one and the carbon fiber one I got from a 4dr at the junkyard. It's actually pretty decent.

Nice, i was actually asking about the plastic piece, since the carbon one is technically better but has damage, if i cant find a stock one my next step was to commission a local machine shop to bend one to bolt on.
