2nd gen snorkel

Hello all

I was thinking about putting a snorkel on my 14 Tacoma. Any suggestions on a good one??

 

safari snorkel

 

I would go with Safari. I just installed mine about two weeks ago and love it so far. Install is pretty easy. The hardest part is installing the nut on the bolt inside the fender up by the A-pillar and fitting the piping together... Still not a deal breaker though.

 

Safari Hilux

 

I’m new to this site. Been on here for a month now. It’s nice knowing y’all have the experience new comers need. Thanks for the tips.

 

Well
The ARB is big. And looks good.
And it’s got a stupid price for a piece of plastic

I got the knockoff for cheaper. Probably from the same exact factory. Works fine.

take into account that doesn’t even budget for a good precleaner which there’s no way around that. Would be odd to spend a shit ton on a tube, without even a precleaner which is the point.


What I am curious about is future compatability if getting nice strong JDfab inner fenders that advertise recommendation of a different intake setup.
If a snorkel can be made to work with it, or if it has to be tossed out and switch to a different setup.

snorkels look good and there’s nothing else that goes as high up.
When there’s a will there’s a way. Maybe with custom fab it would work.

as the inner fenders kit does not come with a hole in the side like the truck is when stock.

 

I just got my ebay ARB clone. I am hoping to install it next week. I paid 78 bucks for it and the quality is outstanding, most likely made in same factory and I normally don't like to support companies who clone stuff but the fact that ARB is charging almost 600 bucks for a roto molded snorkel is crazy. JMO. I will probably do a quick writeup on my build page after I get it installed so if you are interested and can wait a week or two, it may be useful to you.

 

Love it.

 

I have an Airflow. By far the best look and relatively low profile IMO.

 

Me too

 

look up the snorkel on a budget thread. i ordered one for like 100 bucks, fit almost perfect. Templates junk so full sends only. I also run the same pre-cleaner David does ^^^^

 

Used to have AirFlow but switched to Sy-Klone Precleaner.

 

I put a mannequin on mine with LED eyes and remote control speaker
wired into motion sensing alarm
keeps the truck under watchful eyes for anti-theft

takes in air through the nostrils
the hair works as wind measurement and inclinometer
working on a patent with TacomaLifestyle
helps deflect branches as well
additional space to store gear if you put a hat.



gonna modify it to wear a headlamp and spin 360 degrees for aux trail lighting

those of you who name your vehicles
takes it to another level

 

haha nice..

 

This is Enginaire

 

A alternative option I went with was a Cowl Intake. @dpele has a kit

Yes debate all you like.
I’m not a fan of the look or the height of the typical snorkels.

 

Dobinson ftw!

 

Ah yes that’s what I meant I used to run that one.
