    So for out Tacoma's were limited to arb snorkels. I don't know about you guys but $400+ is breaking the bank for me. You can get online and see tons of snorkels for land cruisers, hiluxes, etc. Why couldn't you make one of them work? They are a fraction of the price. And I've found some that look nearly identical to the arb for a Tacoma. Has anyone tried to do this?

    Do you really need a snorkel?
    The stock intake is higher than the door handle.

    snorkels are for dusty conditions. Not water.

    Hey OP why not just run tube internally? The cab noise and air pressure sucks (literally :) ) but you can do it dirt cheap.

    Airflow is another option OP. Around the same price as Safari though I believe.

    Another option would be to set up a GB for them.

    I got mine at a huge discount + free shipping when I set up a GB. It was a pain in the ass, but if your time is free it's an easy way to save a ton of money.

    I knew that but I just thought member Ahshiet stated he modified a "1st Gen Airflow" for his 2nd Gen. Maybe he meant 1st Gen 4Runner?
