Photos to be released this week!!!
I'm running a sale on my site right now for all Dobinsons snorkels. Follow the link from the first post to my website and the popup will give you details if you're ready to order!!
Had to edit the first post, the first batch will only suit the V8. The part needed to adapt the tube to the V6 wasn't included, so those will come in future batches.

Yes, there is but the guy doing the digital instructions hasn't got them done yet. I'll be emailing everyone who bought the snorkel those instructions as soon as I get them, and also posting them up on the instructions page of my site.
Yes, gotta cut the fender and the flare, as the snorkel meets between both of them.

The Dobinsons snorkel likely similar installation to the Safari snorkel. Yes you do you have to cut through both the plastic and the metal piece to create the oval shape.
Don't worry too much about being 1000% precise. Get it as close as you can and go for it. The drilled mounting bolt holes and the snorkel intake hole are large enough to allow for some wiggle room.

I just ordered a snorkel for my V8. The sale is still good as of this morning (2/9/21).
Do you have to pull the fender flare off to make the cut, or can it be trimmed in place right at the same time as the fender itself?
I guess the obvious answer to that question is, it can be done either way. But what I'm more after is, is one way easier than the other, or does one way produce a better result than the other?
Thanks!

I did everything with the plastic overfender attached to the metal fender. The template doesn't really allow you to cut it separately.
(Again this is in reference to the Safari snorkel.)

Instructions have been added to the first post, and also highlighted on the product page on my website.
The adapter hoses for the V6's are being air freighted over right now, and should be here by the 21st of Feb. On the site when you order, you'll specify if you have a V6 or V8, and the snorkel will be shipped with the hose accordingly!!

My snorkel just arrived via UPS today, and everything looks good! There are five plastic/rubber parts and a bag of hardware. Mike emailed the instructions to me last week.
Now I have to wait for Spring to arrive to install the snorkel. It’s 20° in Chicago today, with about a foot and a half of snow on the ground. I might have to wait until May to install it.

Installed mine this past weekend. Was pretty straight-forward. I opted to put 10-24NC Riv-Nuts into the A pillar and use 3 button-head machine screws rather than just the pull rivets that were supplied.
Reaching up inside the fender to get those nuts started is a bit of a tricky stretch. I put double-sided tape on the washers so they stayed in place until I get could get the nuts started. Easier if the truck is on a lift and the wheel/tire is removed, but totally doable on the ground.

That's a good idea. I think the riv-nuts are a better idea, but they don't supply them like that since the special tool is required for them, although so is a pop rivet gun. Haha
I like the trick in the instructions for using a block of wood on the drill so that you can't bottom out the drill into the a-pillar.
