Considering finally installing the ARB snorkel for my 2012 FJ cruiser. What would be an average install price for it? I dont have the correct tools to do it myself, so im forced to have it installed. I called 4wheelparts and they quoted me $700. Any help is appreciated!

$700!!!!! Holy shit! That seems crazy to me. It does take some time, but isn't what I'd call hard at all. I'd check some local 4x4 shops in the area, because I'm sure you could find a better price than them. Any Overland shops in that area?

That seems outrageous. I’d buy a drill and the necessary sized hole saw and bits and save $600 myself...

Ouch, that's expensive for 1/2 day's work, even if it includes the purchase price of the snorkel.
If you're handy with the spanners, DIY and save a fortune, plus get the kudos of "I did that myself".

I just got an email from Demello Offroad...my bumpers came in AND they are willing to do the snorkel install for $350! So i can take care of everything all in one go! Not going to be ordering anything from 4wheelparts for a long time.
