Lucky8’s Project P38 Update : Been gone too long

First off, sorry for the lack in updates but I think this post will make a few people happy.

Snorkel 

Say it with me S N O R K E L 

Finally all the pieces are done and ready to go. So without further adieu, here is what it takes to do the install.

Put the template on the hood.

Mark the cut out portion with a scribe.

 Remove the hood and cut the unwanted section out. 

Remove the fender and inner fender plastic mud guard.

Put the template on and cut the unwanted section out. 

Notch out the pillar trim piece to make room for the snorkel tube mounting tabs.

Align the notches with the upper existing screw hole. Use a self tapping screw to mount the bottom tab. 

Remove the air box from the engine bay

Remove the trumpet nose section 

File down the tabs on the inner trumpet section for removal.

Remove inner trumpet section

Clean out the air box and seal all the factory drain holes with RTV

Cut the outer ring off of the internal trumpet section

 

Generously apply RTV to the end of the internal trumpet piece and slide on the PVC hose. 

Slide the PVC hose through the old air intake opening. Take care not to cut the PVC hose on the inner fender. 

Generously apply RTV to the end of the internal trumpet piece and slide it back into the air box. Seal the remaining holes with RTV. 

Generously apply RTV to the end of the snorkel in the fender well and slide on the PVC hose. Drill a 1/4 hole and attach the PVC hose clamp to the inside of the fender. Tuck the PVC hose above the inner fender plastic mud guard 

The inner fender plastic mud guard will have to be reworked to make room for the PVC hose.

Use a heat gun on the inner fender plastic mud guard to bend it back into place.

Install the rubber trim pieces on the hood and fender cut off sections. 

Lastly, generously apply RTV to the snorkel top and install.

Let me know what you guys think. The poser pic is the stock truck that gave up a hood and fender for testing purposes.
