Wait till you see how fast you get too.  :o  My stuff shipped out and 3 days latter I had it.  I almost fell over!

George


No kidding, got it today - Order went through on Monday and got it Wednesday before noon. Absolutely amazing service.

Any tips for the install?

Again, Great find George.

I thought I had posted pics of mine, but I see I haven't. Here goes!


Margaret was also very helpful with us, service was excellent, and things got here really fast! They were sent on a Wednesday, and they got here next tuesday :o My model is slightly different, but I like it anyway ;D It's because packages can't be over 1m here, so they had to give me the shortest possible.

George,

What kind of time did it take to install the snorkel? I'm trying to figure out when to install mine, and just want to get an idea what it took you.

Thanks,

Jeff

3 to 4 hours but that was with a run to the store for a 3" hole saw.   Just take your time taking the fender off.  If its not falling off there's still a bolt holding  ::)   And don't lay the snorkel on the ground or it will scratch.   And remeber you only get to cut the hole once  ;)

George, What was the reason to take the fender off? Or did you just take the inner lining off? I can't remember anything back there that seems like it would be in the way ... but, I obviously don't want to screw things up.

thanks,

Jeff

Doesn't the air tube go between the inner and outer fender?  So it would be easier to line the snorkel up and attach it if you have better access.

You will need to take it off to put the new tube between the snorkel and the airbox.  Also you may need to pull the air box out too.

Yeh, I got a few minutes and took the liner out and there is quite a bit behind there.

Hey George,

Did you get your snorkel direct from FTS or did you get it through VTTR? I am confused?! ???

If from FTS can PM me the contact info?

Thanks in advance.

Snorkel installed! Very easy, for the most part, even though no instructions were included. It looks great and I added some 245/75/16s today. No rubbing with XL-7 rims (this is on a regular 4-door Vitara) whereas the stock rims and 235/70/16 ATs rubbed at full lock. Go figure.

Here's a pic, was hoping to get up on a trail today, but the driveway will have to suffice for now.
