Glassworks Fiberglass Safari Snorkle mod pictures

The first cut was a scary.



Safari snorkle for 05 Tacoma from Cruiser oufitters. Slid into hole from below.

It disappears nicely under fender.

I put some black ABS plastic around base and moulded it with a heatgun and clipped it on..i think it looks better with it.





Covered up the inner fender with ABS plastic sheets.

 

Nice work man.

 

Thanks, this truck is going to South America so i had to find a way to install a snorkle for the water crossings. Roads are very bad so truck had to be built to deal with the severe terrain.

 

what all have you done to prepair for water crossings besides the snorkle?

 

Nice looking mod & truck in general. Came out clean. Where'd you pick up the sheets of ABS plastic as I'm looking to make some wheel wells similar to yours

1/32 thickness black..you will need push in pin plastic clips too ..got them off Ebay and of course a good heat gun to mould liner into shape

 

Wow. Super clean install.

 

Rear differential breather, sealing up of the National Luna Dual battery controller and filling up the wheel wells to stop sloopy mud and dirt filling up wheel wells.

 

Nice, thanks for the link.

I have access to the push in clips, so that'll work out nicely!

 

Use excess plastic as it pulls in when moulded. I used a boxcutter with hooked blade for triming around the edge. Another hint is to drill all holes around fender lip first!!! Test size of drill with clip shaft diameter so it fits snug before you push in pin. Use a sharp pointed device to punch hole in ABS plastic then use a dremel with a router blade to open hole slightly bigger than fiberglass hole to have room for flexing.
Cheers.

 

Very nice!

 

man I wish I would have seen your setup before I did mine. yours came out super clean!

 

I always wanted to see a snorkel on fiberglass fenders.. awesome work.

 

You got balls

 

Nicely done with the snorkel and fender! I also like what you did with the abs plastic and your wheel wells, i may just do that myself.

 

Tundra rear axle?

 

No original 2011 Tacoma rear axle with an 05 TRD SPORT LSD. I have I inch spacers on rear disc brake conversion.

 

what width and length did you get to do all that? Trying to figure out a good dimension to work with. Thanks!

 

For length Measure from front bumper to rear of front fender along the fender lip and add a foot each side. For width measure from lip to inner fender edge and add a foot each side. For rears same thing but go to inner fender wall and add a foot to lip. It's very easy to shape with heat gun. Use 1 in diameter washers if using bolts on fiberglass bed.
