    Wait, you mean you want to use a snorkel for what it is actually meant for? If you want it, have the will to cut a hole in your truck and have the $, do it.

    Nope, not at all!! 6112’s with 650# springs set on notch 2. I only wanted 2.25” of lift, which I got. The back is higher because there is not a lot of weight currently back there and trucks are supposed to have some rake.

    It's the hilux model. I got it from cruiser outfitters. Kurt is THE MAN.

    Again, this was 2015. The Airflow looks like a baby's fat arm. The ARB wasn't available and I don't think I would have chosen it. All in all, I am happy with the decision.

    Once in the Safeway parking lot I was loading groceries and I hear a lady next to me ask her husband what the snorkel was, he replied "its an exhaust up high to keep it out of the water". I mean, kind of close lol.

    Just do it, then undo it. I hated mine, so I took it off after 4 weeks of having it. I'll just stuff 37s and water will not be an issue:bananadead:

    Visual appearance wasn't my thing, it's massive and ugly. It needed pre-cleaner, because ice and snow would build inside over time, or I would have to constantly turn it 180 degrees in the snow storms. There is rarely a trail that get's water above my 35s and if it does, snorkel would not help there either...
    The only reason I got it is because my 35s were throwing mud and snow in the stock intake location, but i'll be making something similar out of aluminum soon. Nevertheless it was worth a try for me, like that time when I had RTT and sold it just to return to a ground tent again. Live and learn!
