    Good to hear! It's the 3.5in adapter one? Just double checking before I order

    That sounds right, but it's been over a year since I ordered mine.

    So I emailed them and they said 85mm, which works out to 3.35 inches. I wonder if they meant the diameter of the opening though, not the diameter of the plastic around it.

    Edit: I got clarification and they recommended the 3.5in adapter

    I think I used some rubberized tape to shim the difference, worked great.

    I don't have any closer pictures but I used rubber tubing to seal the edges and keep debris out, also looks extremely clean.

    Paired with the precleaner, my filter stays so clean I was actually comfortable enough getting a performance filter. I use the AFE Power Dry filter.

    Since October, I have put 18K miles on the truck with this set up. That includes SEVERAL thousand miles of dusty dirt road driving, as I am a hunting guide in Arizona. I haven't had a single bug or drop of water in the air box (we've had a few good rains since install). I've pulled the filter out to whack on the tire and not once have I been engulfed in a cloud of dust, as I'm accustomed to with the factory intake.

    Overall, very pleased with the function. As far as comparing this snorkel to any of the others, my preference is here with Dobinsons because there's not a huge logo on the side, buying from @Crikeymike is a breeze with great customer support, and they're extremely affordable.

    If you're looking into a snorkel: do it, and buy from these guys. You won't regret it.

    Coming right from the horses mouth!! 18k miles in that short amount of time is pretty incredible!

    Yeah, more Aussies run snorkels for a reduction of dust getting into their air filter rather than worrying so much about water.

    I'm a Wildland Firefighter with the USFS and a hunting guide, as well as hunting/exploring on my own. I do a ton of driving year round, thankfully I'm in government rigs all summer. Haha. I bought my truck brand new in March of 2020, it now has 49K miles. I'd probably have close to 100K if I wasn't in fire.

    Yep, and that's where I'm at. I've only done a couple deep water crossings but I'm constantly in the dirt. Love having that peace of mind.
