Snorkels...

No change here and no comment from @upTOPoverland yet

 

I like the look of the Air raid one. I want to get one of those, when I finally get my new truck!

 

Maybe give them a call....frank was the one who called me.

Ps. I told wife I purchased something that I always wanted.....she stated...."a snuffle?" Yeah ....a snuffle. I Snorted, and laughed and pee'd a little.

 

One of these?

 

Yup!!! Exactly!!! Lol. Need to go shower now. May have pee'd again!

 

You should have that looked at.

I sent them an email and within minutes I was taken care of. That’s why they are #1 when it comes to racks AND now snuffles!

 

Awesome!! Now I'm gonna have to get a snuffalugacous sticker!

 

Curious about snorkel usage - how deep can a water crossing be before it reaches the stock air box? Do any of you do water crossings deep enough that a snorkel helps?
I realize some say they do it for better air, etc. but mostly curious about water crossings. I’ve seen “Xpedition Overland” shows that were quite entertaining with some pretty deep crossings.

 

IIRC, the stock airbox's intake is in the front passenger wheel well. If you run sustained at that water level you're gonna have more problems than just the airbox. The alternator is a popular failure point.

FWIW, it helps for swamping or mudding in FL. Water appearing to be shallow will have huge ruts courtesy of our Jeep friends running 37's through the peanut butter mud underneath. The snorkel will give you the time you need to recover or winch out, though your interior may be worse for the wear.

 

Can anyone tell me what snorkels work with s and b cold are intakes?

 

Just think for a minute why that's a bad idea, we'll wait.

 

If the snorkel is properly connected to the intake and everything is sealed, I don’t see an issue.

 

To be clear, I'm not going through any deep water crossings over axle depth. I do have a lot of FSR to travel and that's a lot of dust.

plus I like the look of a snorkel

 

Bump, need a snorkel that'll mount up fine with the s and b, I have a kdmaxx tune for that air box and rather not swap.

I suppose I could just install oem box if whatever snorkel I got didn't mount up with the s and b

 

And some such in even more dust...I'm just fine with my drop in oiled K&N...no different than the drop in TRD one...

 

Those ebay prices compared to ARB gots me wanting to pull the trigger! How was installation on this?

 

I'd be hesitant on cheap ebay parts

 

Thinking of upgrading the hardware to stainless and lock tite them. The plastic shouldn't be to bad of quality. Ballin on a buget !

 

I have the dobinsons, installation was a pain in the ass. Ended up with a gap between the fender and snorkel that had to get filled with black silicone. Also rubber boot didn't completely sit right so i wrapped it with flex tape or whatever its called. a little piece of the grill on the snorkel head broke off, i don't remember hitting anything but i noticed one day it was broken. My last Tacoma had the arb safari snorkel and that installation was super smooth, and never had any issues with it. In the future when i buy another tacoma I'll be buying the arb snorkel, buy once cry once. I'm starting regret a lot mods i cheaped out on and now it's costing me double replacing it with what i should of bought in the first place

 

I also recommend the airaid snorkels.
