CLOSED! 05-15 Tacoma snorkel group buy!

Stop typing so fast!!!

 

Neither is the ARB one. Donaldson makes them.

 

Can I still get in on this or is it too late?

 

​

Why isn't @Acerwin on the paid list?!

 

You can still get in on this. Pm inbound.

 

The Poly tube is pretty thick and it is roto molded so that has two +'s going for it. And I do not think that a static load of 8lbs is enough to crack it. AND I don't think I would be running that the whole time. Only in dusty, heavy rain, or snow.

 

Yah what the heck is up with that!?!? You let him go through and bs your build thread for one if these and he still has not ordered it yet!!!!

It's my understanding that the prefilter is only used for dust. For Heavy rain and snow the snorkel head should be turned around.

 

Hahaha well unfortunalty I can only give you an educated opinion but maybe we should ask @dan0mite @Iggy. Or @MattB77 what they think it could hold.

 

You have a company from Australia that is always sunny, you would think they would test longevity in the plastic. This is a UV stable plastic. You could always paint it with a UV stable paint to help.

 

I think I read some where that unless your going under 20mph the head should never be turned around. It will creat a dead zone in it.

 

Hahaha because the problem is your trying to talk your self out of one!! Ask any of the other guys hat have the old hilux snorkel if your worried about the longevity of it. Same company.

 

Yeah I've head this argument before, I have several friends who run snorkel and flip them backwards. No issue at all. Safari says no, ever other snorkel says yes flip it around. Heavy snow can get packed inside the snorkel head and the way the prefilter is designed it would pack in there too.

 

Straight from the product release handout for this exact snorkel:

 

Also from the product release handout:

 

See I told you we needed to ask @dan0mite

 

I'm interested in pricing.

 

While I don't have a 8 pound prefilter on mine, I did run outside to check how sturdy the snorkel is mounted to the truck. I gave it 6-7 very firm pulls/shakes and the whole truck moved with each one. The snorkel didn't budge one bit... While this snorkel is massive, it is also very heavy and thick, so my opinion is that it'll hold the prefilter without issue.
