3rd Gen Tacoma Safari Snorkel install

I recently purchased a snorkel for my 2017 tacoma, and finally got around to the install. I was surprised how "easy" it was. Besides cutting up the truck, which gave me plenty of stress, it really wasn't too bad. I'd recommend it to anyone. I did take video if anyone is interested.

This is painful to watch. Mostly because i'm imagining myself doing it and ****ing everything up.

 

If you look at my face at the end of the first and beginning of the second, you can see I was shocked at what I'd just done. Then when I dry fit it for the first time the sigh of relief on my face that it fit!!! Awesome feeling

 

It takes a lot of nerve to do what you just accomplish, Bravo!

 

I think I'd just pay someone. This reminds me too much of that doctor who cut his own appendix out. No thanks. I don't have the nerve. But... good job!

 

Nice work, gotta look into a snorkel as an option since I lost my fender liners when I went to 35’s

 

I just installed mine 2 days ago, and the minute the drill bit sinks on the first hole, you can feel that sick feeling in your gut. Then you test fit it and realize you didn't dick it up and you feel so much better!

 

Nice work and congratulations! It looks great.

Same here! That’s why when I get the Safari I’ll probably just have a shop do it.

 

How much would you charge for installation of a snorkel?

 

OP, looks like my tacos twin . Niceeeeee. Did you notice better throttle response ? Might just my imagination but it’s holding 6th gear better now on mine . Better mpg too . More get up if you press on the pedal.

 

Do it, it's really not too bad at all!

 

Where are you located? I can certainly help, it's really not too bad at all.

 

Located in the Salt Lake Valley.

 

Let me know when you're ready to do it. We'll figure something out. I'm south end of Utah Valley.

 

In the second video I touched up the exposed metal with paint.

 

Ok, sounds good.

 

tis just a fender..

 

They seem to be OE standard equipment on Tacoma’s outside the US. Every single one I saw in the Mideast had one, and it’s the least likely place to need one!
