Snorkel alternatives?

ya, half of the last amber. The angle of the picture makes it look worse.
It ok though..I think I have more than enough to make up for it.

 

Somewhat related, what kind of lights did you use for your ditch lights?

 

Looks like Baja Design S2s. Either pros or sports.

update-
She's all hooked up and functional now. The Prado kit came with a "S" rubber coupler to route from the snokel to the intake box. It was close to fitting but was about 2" short. So I cut it in the middle, and put a 3" aluminum pipe extension in between. The hose diameter fits into the fender intake hole PERFECT. It was a tight fit where it hooks up to the snorkel inside the fender, but everything worked out. So all in I'm about ~$200. ($150 for the Prado 150 kit, which I used most of the components and ~$50 for the landcruiser where I just used the "L" intake scoop head out of it.)




Grill is all coated and installed.


here is a top view. It doesn't obstruct my view at all and sits as low/streamline as I could make it

 

So now that it’s all said and done, could the average joe whip one up or did you use your printer for anything? (I can’t remeber)

 

I ended up not using anything 3d printed. I think the average person could do this now that I've been through the trial and error process. The hardest part is going to be where to cut a hole. Obviously there is no template... I just held it up, marked it, and went to town. Second, you could do the entire install with the Prado 150 kit for $150 but it comes with the "hairdryer" style intake scoop. Last, I did not drill holes in the a-pillar for the bracket mount because my roof rack was so close I make a bracket off that. So for anyone else, they would have to fab up a drop bracket to bolt higher up on the snorkel to the a-pillar. Hope this helps.

 

What is the inside diameter of that top piece? I think I’m going to do one as well. But mine can just be a straight piece of aluminum from the top of the fender to that intake piece. The only bends will be inside the fender.

 

Diameter of what?

 

Inside diameter of the top piece. You have a tube that slides into the intake bit. I need to purchase that kit and some pipe. The pipe will need to slide into that intake piece.

I guess I could just order the kit and measure myself.

 

Pipe diameter of 3 inch piece connecting the rubber s boot you cut in half.

 

The top "intake head" is not circular. It looks more like a kidney shape. as well as the entire snorkel body. I assume it is this shape so it "hugs" the A-pillar closer.
from there it goes into the fender with a oval hole (~7"X3") and into the S rubber boot. The other end of the boot drops down to a ~3.25" round outlet.
hope this helps.

 

That does help. Maybe I’ll get semi thin wall aluminum and ovalize it a bit. Or in kidney shape the intake head.

It’s never easy is it.

 

Especially when I had 0% to go off of. It was a eBay Guessing game by looking at pictures and cutting holes

 

Well you did a damn fine job!

 

Wow, that turned out pretty damn good man. Well done

 

Thanks! I don't half-ass 2 things... I whole-ass 1 thing

 

Love her no matter what

 

If you put one on the other side of would look like a strong man flexing his biceps.
J/k.
