Pics and/or Vids of ur Snorkeled Taco

This is open to 2nd gens with a Snorkel, but since I have a first gen and wasn't sure where else to put this topic I posted it in the first gen section. I personally don't have a snorkel, but have wanted one since I saw Dante's Peak when I was 6....

If you can put the make/model of your snorkel, where you got it, and maybe an example of when you were really glad you invested the money in one, that'd be cool too.

 

I should probably get one

 

dude, you're good, I can still see some grill.

My old 4Runner (not 1st or 2nd gen, does this count??) had a stealth snorkel.

I ran the PVC up to the highest point inside the fender well that I could (in between the fender well, and the fender so it wasn't exposed to the wheel, either). So water would have to come up to the windshield before water got in the engine. I never had the balls to go anywhere near that deep anyway... I got some pretty worried looks in some river crossings (people didn't think I had a snorkel). Anyway, I basically did the deck plate mod to the other side of the airbox, so that it could breathe better, but I'd seal it up when wheelin'.

Wish I had pics of it, but it's an old truck, many moons ago, pre digital world.

 

Did u know how deep it was going in?

 

Practically everybody in Australia has a snorkel on their 4WD for dust and water. Really makes me want one when I get home...but I dunno if I can justify the cost.

 

Well this really didn't gain any traction... no one with snorkels here? ???

 

ill get this started

 

I've thought about it, but I dunno if I could really justify spending a ridiculous amount for some molded plastic and then having to cut a hole into my fender. I'll just avoid big water crossings, never really needed to get across anything deeper than 3-4 feet anyways.

 

"thats what she said".....

sorry couldnt help it...

 

wow thats deep!!!

 

Safari Snorkel on my Taco. Helps a ton with dust in Utah's west desert. Snorkels... they're not just for water anymore.



although I am glad I have it for water too.




Might give a couple other ideas. This is a home built one I had on my old '85. Inlet is a Safari Snorkel top but other than that it's all home depot.






Safari Snorkel on my old FJ40

 

HA that wasn't the deepest spot here is another guy that wen right after i did.

 

That's getting risky

 

is the ass hole function up and running strong?

haha jk

 

if your gonna get a snorkel, use it and abuse it. Granted these guys ended up drowning both trucks. The fording depth is a little less than what they went through. LOL, but atleast it was up high enough to justify it being over the cab.....

 

My custom made snorkel, $135, thats including the $75 safari snorkel head.

 

At this point I was coming up out of the water. You can see the depth by the water line on the side of the passenger door. I could stick my hand out the door and run it through the water. No water in the cab.

 

why is it an advantage to have a snorkel in the dust?

 

Dust lingers on the ground, higher up less dust.
