Question 4Runner Snorkel install time

I know many guys here put Snorkels on their trucks. I have one on my 4th Gen as well. I'm putting SS170HF Tacoma Snorkel on 2001 4Runner.
My question is how long does it takes to do the install start to finish? I have all the tools, so I just need the time. Oh year, I have Limited with big flares.
I alos have non-motorized antenna to replace my broken motorized unit.
I have a meeting Saturday afternoon to attend and Sunday is forecast to be a full day rain. I can install the new antenna and push the cable in the cab without routing it. My goal is to finish all work outside with the fender.

Guys who've done this install on 3rd Gen, what was your install time?
Need to know if I should do it this weekend or wait till "ll have 2 sunny warm days in a row.

EDIT:

Write-Up thread

Well I would expect it to take a little while to do it. But when you do please make a write up. Alex, ive been looking for a write up on how to put a snorkel on a 3rd gen, for quite a while now and no one seems to have a nice one that specificaly shows what has to be done lol. I luckly have the SR5 fenders but still not sure how to do it. So anything will be helpful. Good luck with the project though, and I bet the wife is gonna love it haha.

Hope it all turns out nice and please take some pics

I say wait.. it's always better to do a project when your not in a restricted time frame cus perfection is key. Plus I heard that installation of everything will last 4 hours and 1 min

Id say 4 hrs is realistic. The worst part for me was the plastic fender liner.
No, wait..the worst part is the stares and people asking me what it is and how deep of water Ive driven thru.

Good news.

I've done it this afternoon!!!

Took me 3.5 hr including swapping the antenna, but not routing new cable inside the cabin to the radio. Should be another 30 minutes or so.
I'll start a new thread about install as I made allot of pictures to post up full write up.

drool drool. Can't wait to see the pics and writeup AlexJet.

Should have done this before I had my Bushwackers put on...I am curious to see the tie in to the airbox and how far down the fender these mount to allow for Euro style sidemarkers.
