    Just got a great deal on a snorkel for D4 delivered to my door from the UK for $377. Not bad considering Arb sells them for 550!

    Cheers

    Ya gonna install myself, the instructions that come with it are her comprehensive, over than the removal of a pillar trim and inside fender plastic. No bi holes to cut just some small ones using a step drill and a little trim on the inside of fender and all done. From what I've heard drilling not the a pillar is the hardest part literally as that steel is very strong due to its structural rigidity.

    Australian retailers need to get their act together as online buying is so easy and inexpensive!

    Had mine done at Opp Lock Mitcham fully fitted for $650 why would you bother doing it yourself. i watched them do it and saw just how difficult it was to drill the pillar. All the best.

    As well as good bits and cutting wheels (for inner arch), get some bandaids ready too - unless you have noodle-sized forearms!

    Yes best of luck with drilling the holes in the pillars. You will appreciate the strength/integrity of the Disco cabin after you are done.

    Cheers

    I guess you may be living in a metro area possibly! We're I live in central Qld, yes a mining town and **** here is overpriced. Why bother doing it myself, because I can and I have the right tools for the job, also the self satisfaction!

    Cheers
