FTS 5th gen Snorkel Install

[TOY2G]

Hey Jesus...er...Nathan, would you be willing to help with the install if I drove up there? I used to pay with cases of beer back in my 18 years of hard drinking, but now with almost a long hard year sober it's against the code. I want to hold off on the RTV till I get it Line-Xed, but other than that, name your price brother.

if you wanted to come down some weekend or afternoon we could put yours on. I still have to do one more myself. I don't drink, so you will have to pay with blood or sweat.

Oy real men have snorkels.

:boxer:

Alright. I'm in. Put me down for one.

I didn't know about this until until Narkhelek posted about it on my build thread on Expo. Glad he did. I appreciate you stepping up and taking the time to make this happen. I know all too well the fun of being the first out there.

The pioneers get the arrows.

Thanks,

Count me in. I had contacted FTS to inquire and place an order but a group buy is much better at a third of the cost. I'm glad I just found this thread!

Thanks for the initiative.

I need to stop looking at this thread... Won't have truck budget until 2016 .... Just wanted to say A) thanks Nathan for doing this. If you're ever in the Indy neighborhood give me a shout! and B) Hopefully FTS is still making them in 2016 and Nathan will still able to be suckered .. I mean convinced.. into coordinating another container.

Paying off a house can be annoying when also trying to support a truck-mod habit! LOL

Okki

Great, it's Paul. Another person who will be getting a chunk of my VA Disability check. :dammit: lol I've been following your build off & on over at Expo. You're definitely on my list of places to stop on my cross-country toy shopping for my truck trip!

Yeah, whenever would be good for you. Hell brother, after 10 years in the Army, I only know how to pay with blood, sweat, & beer.

[MENTION=64685]TOY2G[/MENTION]o no new sign ups, huh? How much time are you giving to see if this group buy comes through? Thank you!

Considering the 1st mention of a snorkel for the 5th Gen I've seen on this site is from 2011? Count your lucky stars that we are all so close to the number 10! :lmao: Hell, I'm about ready to buy 2 just to get the order in, even if I ain't 100% sure the fenders haven't changed on the 2014!

 

[Narkhelek]

I'm surprised this isn't selling like hot cakes on here.

I have to have mine installed by summit. Shipping to shanghai and then a boat to will take about 45 days. So I guess will give it another 10 days or so.

I considered buying an extra, but I would rather not have to. Let's just hope two more people want to hack a hole in their fender by the end of next week.

The fender lines did not change for 2014 BTW

I'm surprised this isn't selling like hot cakes on here.

It's just not something most 5th gen owners need, and the ones that would like to have it, it's not a high priority. I done ever see there being a very big market for these in the US.

If we get two more buyers by next week, I will post up payment information and give everyone a week to get payment in so there is a window for payday.

Let's cross our fingers

As far as appearance, I'm not a huge fan, but mods like this are about function. If I had an honest need for this other than just a want, I'd be all over it. Oh and money. That would help in me being all over it.

Thanks man for taking the time and money to see this through.

 

[Sooty]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I guess if it ultimately comes down to buying two to make this happen I can give a step forward. I'm confident someone else will eventually want one and I can sell the extra one to recoup the money.

Concur. I'm not a big fan of how it looks either. That said, my goal is to have a well equipped overland truck to head down to Ushuai, Argentina and back. I'm positive there'll be plenty of river and desert crossings. So this mod is definitely worth it for my purposes.

 

[TOY2G]

It's getting close, a couple more to go, anyone else on the fence?

Count on me for two. I really want to make this group buy happen. This is my contribution to the effort.

We'll if Ernesto is willing to buy two for the greater good, if it comes down to it by the end of the week, I will buy the tenth one and just hold on to it.

Awesome! Thank you, Nathan for coordinating and for that last push (if it comes down to it) to make the group buy happen. Cheers!

If you don't sell it before 2016, I will take it off your hands at that time Nathan. Wish I could do it now, but such is life. Thanks for coordinating this one!
