Best Performing Snorkel?

I’ve seen in older posts that ARB Safari is the best snorkel to get. Just wondering if there are any others that have come out recently that are comparable if not better.

 

neither, there are better and more functional mods than a useless mod. Plus just look at this guy https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-how-f-cked-am-i.724589/page-3#post-25806169\ having a snorkel is the least of your worries.

 

ARB Safari is a useless mod???

 

I've heard good things about the Dobinsons snorkel. It appears to be a replica ARB Safari for a third of the price.

Height is key. Less dust up there.

 

Performing Snorkel.

 

Well, snerkle is for dust, not water......

 

or the insta clout.....

 

I'm curious why you think an actual snorkel is as "useless mod" for people who plan on doing deeper water crossings (yes, I know that one guy in your link had a bunch of issues but people successfully cross deeper water crossings with snorkels to help the engine to keep breathing) or plan on driving fast on dusty/desert conditions. The OP didn't specifically say what type of terrain he wants to do. A snorkel can be a very useful if the terrain calls for it.

For the record, I'd never install a snorkel because I don't live in a desert area and I won't ever cross water that goes above my tires.

 

'Shop and post for all the likes.

 

Just a note that on any modern vehicle, a snorkel is never for water. Most electrical connections are sealed for dust and splash intrusion only. Not pressure or submersion.

 

So in this scenario...your engine isn't hydrolocked but your electronics are shot and your interior is flooded. Neat.

 

and for the record. It is a useless mod, again, its all for the human validation of "cool'' social media likes, and online "clout" none of the computer/electrical components are seals and are not rated for full submersion or pressure. Hence, the mod is useless unless you can find a way to seal those critical components in which the average "off roader" or "overlander" is not going to.

 

I don't doubt what people will do

yet if my nutz are getting wet

my dash is getting wet

my steering wheel is soaked

maybe iv extended my axle…..trans & transfer case vents

so they don't take on water...………………………………………………………………………..maybe

 

So the guys in Iceland, Australia, Africa are wasting their time with a snorkel? I’ll take fried electronics over hydrolocked engine. Also some of the logging roads here are like moon dust once summer hits, sweet sucking that dust into the air filter.

 

cool, thats why there is a filter, if the stock ones does not work, then get a better one. apples to oranges eh

 

the guys U remark about drive bare bones models set up for that continent

some o the crap at sonics

hooters

& the mall couldn't cut in in a rain forest

really don't see land rovers set up like squatters

jack sky hi with LED lites

 

I'm having trouble locating the snorkel. I do see a Skewp though.



The same moon dust here. No issues with the stock CAI as a weekend warrior.

Yes. If I lived in the desert, esp with actual sand storms, there would be maybe be a reason.

 

OEM would be best for the Tacoma if you can get one. The TRD air intake was designed to work on the Tacoma.


I wouldn't mind seeing the DAI make a comeback for the last year of TRD Pro.

 

More or less useless mod by itself for windshield deep water crossings in these vehicles with stock wiring connectors and unsealed on board computers.

Very effective for slightly cooler air intake and a lot less wheel well dust intake.

In a nutshell, not a worthless mod. Just not a stand alone mod for deep water crossings.
