    I would (and am in the summer) buy a snorkel from Safari. As they are part of ARB in one way or another, they make a very high quality product and will stand by it. They're 350-400 bucks. It's worth that to me to get it right the first time.

    Supra made a snorkel for his truck though, so you could ask him (idk if he has posted in this thread yet).

    If you guys are running trail rigs and not DD's I would just run it into the cab instead of going to the exterior of the truck.

    If it's a DD the engine noise will drive you insane.

    I would always get the Safari one. I don't really like the idea of the intake in the cab (although it actually poses no real danger).

    True. The whole in cab idea sounds like too much of a PITA to me. I've thought about doing it, but the area we can work with is so damn small/compact.

    All the guys I know with older trucks just cut a huge hole through the dash, but they are a different monster altogether.

    A Safari Snorkel is on my list of things to get for my Taco.
    More for dust on group trail runs than water where I live. But we do get enough water to swim in from time to time.

    I watched that a couple times already. I'm an avid puddle jumper. It's all fun and games until you get water in the cab

    Not in long enough and you have a 1st gen so your seals actually work.

    Next time go slower dipping in so the wave displaces the water instead of pushing it over the hood :D



    Like this (last weekend) :) You want the wave to spread out and create a low point in front of the truck so your pulleys and fan don't get fubar
