Yup. Got to say it was a pig of a job and would go back to a better quality kit next time. The Bighorn is a lot more involved than the Safari that's for sure.

I knew this was not going to be a quick or easy job even with a kit and have put it off for a couple of years. It was obviously not made to attach a snorkel to with the only viable spot into the air...
