Arb safari snorkel 3rd gen tacoma review.

Super White 3rd Gen Tacoma With ARB Safari Snorkel

Alright, here we go… a mod that I probably waited too long to do. The snorkel.

Before my Tacoma, I had a 4th Gen 4Runner. That truck ran a snorkel for two, call it main reasons.

  • 1. It sealed up my exposed air box (missing fender liners) and lifted the air intake to the roof line.
  • 2. It looked super rad (in my opinion).

However, that snorkel was a cheap Amazon find. It was for an 80 series (I think). It worked ok. Got the job done. Didn’t sit well or really have any instructions or anything. It also needed a ton of modification. For example, I had to cut into the body to make room for the new tubing – there was no way it was going to fit any other way. The point is.. it worked, but not in a very calculated fashion.

This time, I knew what I wanted (needed). A tried and true, tested system with EVERYTHING I needed, right off the bat. And the ARB warranty and support – which has always been good to me.

Enter the ARB Safari Snorkel. Let’s run through a quick installation guide (ARB also provides one) and review.

ARB is currently sold only through retailers. I got this one from Mudify. These guys stock a ton of ARB products for fast shipping, and also have good customer service.

Why should you add a snorkel.

Overland 3rd Gen Tacoma Build With ARB Safari Snorkel Kit

What Is A Snorkel?

A snorkel is a series of tubing, connections, and airways that takes the point of air intake from a lower point on the vehicle (passenger wheel well, under fender liner) and moves it closer to the roof line. The result is a sealed system that allows temporary exposure to water that may have otherwise been taken into the intake, and immediately into the motor. This would cause catastrophic failure in the form of hydro-lock. Yes, that means a new motor. Not cheap.

Think of it as cheap insurance – especially if you wheel your truck. Exposing your intake to water, especially as a newer driver, is easier than you might think. And freak accidents can happen. Investing in a snorkel is a great preventative measure.

Why Would You Want One?

I’m not going to go into anything crazy complicated here. There are a few main reasons to add a snorkel, and a few secondary reasons that I’m sure are up for debate.

First, and most obviously, as described, is moving the air intake out of harm’s way from potential water intrusion. This can protect your vehicle and decrease the likelihood of water getting into your motor. It can also allow you to risk doing deeper water crossings. This can be expanded to include dust, since the fenders are typically more exposed to dust off-road than the roof. So you are avoiding unnecessary dust intake. This can further be improved upon with a snorkel pre-cleaner.

Many would argue that a snorkel is a sort of “cold air intake” where air in the fender can potentially be warmer than the ambient air outside. I would guess this applies more to slower driving, as the air movement as you drive 50, 60, 70+ mph on the highway may negate that. However, I still think there is somewhat of a valid point here.

A different line of thinking could also suggest that since the new intake head on the snorkel is bigger than the factory opening, and that it usually faces the rushing air as you drive, that is allows the motor to “breathe” easier. Don’t quote me. I’m not saying you’re getting any true forced induction. But another idea I’ve seen discussed.

Key takeaway – snorkels have value relative to their cost to the decreased risk involved with off-road and overland travel. With some secondary effects. Pretty simple.

This is all reinforced the harder you wheel, and the more water/dust you see. And a snorkel is especially useful if you lose your fender liners like I did, when I trimmed my fenders/flare for tire clearance.

Installation

How To Install ARB Safari Snorkel

Install is not as bad at you might think. The right tools are important. You should have a good understanding of hand tools. But there is some room for error when it comes to cutting and drilling. Just move carefully, and really make sure everything lines up. Check it ten times if you have too. Worst case – you can buy a new fender. But we don’t want to do that. So use this guide and take your time.

ARB also gives you detailed instructions.

Required Tools

  • Mechanic’s toolset
  • Drill + bits
  • Cutting tool (jig saw, or similar)
  • Dremel (or some kind of smaller saw/cutting tool)
  • Screwdrivers
  • Utility knife
  • Painter’s tape
  • Double-sided exterior automotive molding tape (optional)

Step 1. Remove Air Box

How To Install Snorkel - Removing Air Box

To start, I’ve seen people get really into removing extra components. Wiring, separating the top of the airbox from the intake, etc.

While you can do that for peace of mind, there is plenty of slack to work with, and you should be able to save some time.

Unclip and open the airbox. Pull out your filter. Check to see if it needs replacing.

Air Box Removal For Snorkel Installation

Next, take out the bottom portion of the airbox. There are three screws total. Two are pictured here. One is to the left of the box.

Step 2. Remove Air Inlet & Trim Air Box

Trimming Factory Airbox For Snorkel Tubing Install

Once you have the airbox out, remove the inlet, seen in the picture above on the bottom. You can dispose of this.

Trimmed Tacoma Air Box - ARB Snorkel Install Guide

You will need to trim the mounting tabs for the inlet you just removed. I used a Dremel. Simple and easy. Final cuts seen above.

Step 3. Apply Template & Mark Holes

Apply ARB Snorkel Template To Tacoma

Now apply the provided template to your passenger’s side fender. Make sure that all the lines are evenly matched to the ends of the fender.

Carefully tape it into place. Second set of hands here is nice.

Take a marker and mark all the holes.

Step 4. Drill & Cut Holes

Drilling Holes In Tacoma Fender For Snorkel Installation

Now drill the holes. Use a step bit, or step up your drill bit size for a clean hole. I used two drill bits to make the smaller holes.

I also make a hole in the larger circle with enough room to get my jigsaw into. Then I made the entire cut. This helps to make it look cleaner.

You don’t have to use a handheld jigsaw, but it is quick and easy.

DO NOT use a hole saw here. It’s a terrible mistake and you will do damage.

Protecting Bare Metal With Spray Paint

Clean up any burrs. I also used a Q-tip dipped in a small cup of some black spray paint to protect the bare metal on all my cuts. I would not skip this step.

Step 5. Install & Secure Flexible Tube

Step-By-Step ARB Safari Snorkel Installation Guide

It’s important to note, if you don’t have an aftermarket bumper or cut fenders/flares like I do, you will need to remove your liner beforehand. There are several clips and a few screws to pop the liner out.

Once the liner is removed, take the large rubber connector tube and insert it through the factory intake inlet hole. There is a notch on the tubing so you understand its orientation. A good reference photo is seen above.

New Hose/Tubing For ARB Snorkel

A shot from the inside of the engine bay. Make sure to put the hose clamp on before you reinstall the airbox.

Snorkel Install Guide

Attach the airbox to the new intake tubing. This can be tedious. Install the tube before you secure the airbox again.

The hose clamp might give you a hard time. Make sure it is sitting in the groove on the tube all the way around. You will have to feel around to make sure. This is crucial because you need a good seal here.

Once that is done, you can reattach the airbox, and reassemble the filter, cover, etc.

Step 7. Prepare Snorkel Body

Preparing Snorkel Body For Install - Studs & Thread Locker

Prepare the snorkel body with blue thread locker and the threaded studs.

A-Pillar Rivet Alternative For Snorkel Install - Double-Sided 3M Automotive Exterior Molding Attachment Tape

This is another key step. Above you can see the bracket that ARB wants you to bolt to the snorkel, and rivet to the A-pillar.

I chose to use double sided exterior 3M automotive tape. I found it at my local auto parts store. Added a piece along the bracket, and trimmed to fit.

Not necessarily recommended, and not that I am afraid to drill into my truck, I did not want to this time and wanted to test this alternative.

Note:  This fitment works okay. I could have done a better job lining it all up with the truck, but there is some movement above 30-40 mpg and at highway speeds. I’m not currently bothered, but know that this is a risk. You can always go back and add rivets. You can’t undo drilling the holes and placing rivets as easily. I do think I could get it a little tighter though, and get less movement – the tape could have better contact.

Step 8. Attach Snorkel Body To Fender

ARB Snorkel Install & Review

Take your snorkel body and align with the holes. Depending on how well you did, it may slide right in. It may not. You might need to drill out some of the smaller holes. This did happen to me, but no big deal. Only a small delay.

Eventually, with a little physical persuasion (lol), we got it all to line up nicely. Don’t panic if it doesn’t work the first time. Again, some margin for error here.

Obviously be mindful that you also need to get the plastic intake end to meet the new tube. Another set of hands will help here.

Attaching Snorkel To Fender

Take all the washers and nuts and tighten the snorkel down to the fender.

Add the other hose clamp to the connection between the new tubing and snorkel body.

Step 9. Mount Snorkel Head

Finally, take the snorkel head and the black clamp, and attach the snorkel appropriately to the body. That’s it! Not so bad.

I love it! I’ve done this before, and become more comfortable with cutting trucks. But even with documentation, this was pretty straightforward and we were able to move along.

How To Attach Snorkel Without Drilling & Riveting A-Pillar

A quick close up shot of the 3M tape and bracket. It attaches relatively well, but again, the contact could be better. I could easily redo the tape though. We will see.

ARB Snorkel On Off-Road 3rd Gen Tacoma Build

The real question…? Have I crossed any super deep water? The answer… Not yet! However, I don’t need to submerge the truck under a huge amount of water to note that this system fits great, seals really well, and will do the job when expected to.

I’ve used a snorkel before, and I can tell you that I certainly felt better on the occasions where we were wheeling along, many states from home, and unexpectedly dropped into a deeper than anticipated river. The same goes for nights where we saw flooding and I accidentally hit massive pools of water late at night, that could have ended badly.

The fit and finish is awesome. ARB stands behind their products. And to top it off, I absolutely love how it looks. How could you go wrong?

Final Thoughts

ARB Safari Snorkel For 3rd Gen (2016-2023) Tacoma - Long Term Review & Overview

Bottom line? Protect your engines. Invest in a snorkel if you plan on wheeling and adventuring hard to remote places.

I’m stoked with how this turned out – no complaints whatsoever. Let me know if you have any questions!

Self tapping stainless screws and RTV on the pillar. Honestly will you ever remove your snorkel? If you do you have to replace your fender and filling two small holes and blending in your fender to match the door and pillar you would paint anyway is not a big deal. Best to have a secure fitment so nothing vibrates loose or rubs paint away leading to rust. Last note, deburr all the holes. Installing a cyclone greatly improves dust performance otherwise you are literally scooping it up. Sure, the intake is higher and helps but it’s really not effective without. …  Read more »

You’re not wrong about mounting the snorkel directly. And as I mentioned, I’m not opposed to drilling into my truck. I was in part experimenting with this alternative, since I know many people have had the same idea. I agree with what you are saying in general. I did mention under the photo about painting the holes to remove all burrs. A pre-cleaner surely helps to eliminate the majority of dust exposure. But the idea of getting less dust is considering that there is much more dust at wheel/fender level than there is at the roof line. I can say …  Read more »

It might be worth noting that snorkels aren’t as useful for fording water in the Tacoma as many think without additional and extensive modifications in the engine bay. The Tacoma (and most Toyota trucks) have a critical [and incurable] design flaw for water fording, which is the location of the alternator below/at the level of the top of the tire. Adding a snorkel to the Tacoma to put your intake at six feet high (or thereabout) without extensive waterproofing to the engine, and carrying a spare alternator for the almost certain contamination of bearings and destruction of most of the …  Read more »

Man. A lot to unpackage here, haha. To start, while I understand the textbook logic behind this answer, the real-world application is a bit different and may relay the wrong message to someone reading it. You absolutely can ford water in a Tacoma, relatively safely (albeit there is always risk) despite the concerns you mentioned. I’ll explain why. While the alternator (and other components) may be exposed, the only time that this will be a concern is if the vehicle (unfortunately) gets stuck in the water and there is no motion. With the proper technical approach, even if the water …  Read more »

Right! And I don’t disagree with what you say here. To be clear, I’m not saying that crossing water deeper than your alternator will damage it immediately and in the moment; I’m saying: (a) that could happen, and (b) the damage will be there and will more likely manifest over the longer-term. As in, you submerge a bunch of unprotected electrical connections and your spinning alternator, it will diminish the life of your alternator and other components in ways most users will not understand is connected to a prior decision to float their Tacoma/Toyota truck. Notice how many caveats there …  Read more »

Now you have me thinking a snorkel would have been a good investment for my last build. I was on the fence about weather to snorkel or not. This article has opened my eyes to things never considered before. With the amount of snow runoff this year a snorkel would almost be an essential element for river crossings. I’m not sure if the new build would benefit from one though. Going a different direction this time. Thanks again for expanding my knowledge of useful Tacoma products. Great site, really enjoy it

I would say that anyone who spends any time near dust or water could benefit. Ultimately, it’s for peace of mind and insurance in case something happens. I’d be lying if I didn’t account for the looks too, haha. Thanks for commenting and being involved!

Sy-klone series 9001 snorkel pre-cleaner on arb safari snorkel – install & overview.

5th Gen 4Runner Overland Build

Sy-Klone Series 9001 Snorkel Pre-Cleaner Overview and Install on an ARB Safari Snorkel For the 5th Gen 4Runner

In a previous article, I covered the installation of ARB’s Safari Snorkel on my 5th Gen 4Runner, where I discussed the benefits of a raised intake over the stock intake that hides inside the fender.

One thing a raised air intake does is reduce the number of particulates that enter the intake box, however, it’s certainly not the end-all solution. The forward-facing ram-style intake that comes on the Safari Snorkel also allows for any incoming particulates to head straight down the pipe and into the air filter.

Why You Need a Pre-Cleaner

5th Gen 4Runner Dirt in Airbox

Bugs, dust, and vegetation are the common infiltrators with the standard top and over time they can cause a premature replacement of the air filter. Some solutions to this problem include reversing the snorkel head to have it face backward which is only advised for low-speed operation in heavy dust or using an oiled “sock” over the intake to collect incoming dust. Both of these options may help slightly, but neither solve the problem entirely.

Why the Snorkel Upgrade (Sy-Klone)

Sy Clone Air Ram for Snorkel for 5th Gen 4Runner

To improve air quality, and remove additional particulates, we look to a product that has aided the military and commercial operations for decades. The product is the Sy-Klone Series 9001 pre-cleaner available exclusively for the off-road market through Snorkel Upgrade . The Series 9001 is a dome-shaped snorkel intake replacement that uses the power of centrifugal force to separate solid particulates from clean air.

This is the final solution to the dirty filter problem that plagues so many expedition-style vehicles that promise to:

  • Increase your air filter service life
  • Decrease potential blockages from snow and other debris
  • Keep your engine as healthy as it can be as far as air is concerned

How it Works

Sy Clone Air Ram for Snorkel for 5th Gen 4Runner

Inside the dome, the housing is a series of blades set on a sealed bearing assembly. As your engine creates a vacuum in the intake/snorkel, fresh air is drawn into the bottom of the dome through a set of louvers. These louvers force the entering air to circulate upwards into a rotating impeller creating a “Sy-Klone” effect within the dome. This cyclone uses the power of physics and centrifugal “force” to force any airborne particulates with mass greater than air to the outside of the dome as it’s being whirled around. But where does all of that stuff go? The Series 9001 has a small slit in that dome with an opening to allow those trapped particulates out of the dome and away from your air intake. Science!

For a complete explanation of the trickery behind the 9001, click here for an overview from Snorkel Upgrade!

Install Overview

Snorkel Air Ram Removal for 5th Gen 4Runner

Installing the Sy-Klone onto the snorkel is a simple process.

Measure your snorkel inlet to make sure you have the correct Series 9001 snorkel (the ARB snorkel has a 4” inlet). Once you know you have the correct model, remove the standard forward-facing snorkel head with whatever hardware it came with.

Sy Clone Air Ram for Snorkel on 5th Gen 4Runner

Set the supplied stainless steel t-bolt band clamp on the neck of the Sy-Klone and snug it up to keep it from falling off when you place it on the snorkel.

Sy Clone Air Ram for 5th Gen 4Runner Snorkel Intake

Set the pre-cleaner on the snorkel top with the slot facing straight back towards the rear of the 4Runner. This allows debris to exit the dome without turbulent interference.

Snorkel Air Pre-Cleaner for 5th Gen 4Runner

Tighten the clamp until the pre-cleaner is snug on the snorkel body and grab your cold beverage to celebrate your victory in the battle against dirty air!

ARB Safari Snorkel with Pre-Cleaner on 5th Gen 4Runner

Now that you’ve installed and admired your new Series 9001 pre-cleaner, I’ll cue you in on a couple more bonus design details.

Sy-Klone Details

ARB Snorkel Pre Cleaner Installation on 5th Gen 4Runner

With a downward-facing inlet, the Sy-Klone skirts one of the known issues with forward-facing snorkel inlets, snow/ice accumulation. Those that have driven through heavy wet snow know that the grille on the face of a standard snorkel can quickly clog and ultimately require clearing to function properly.

Pulling air from below reduces the likelihood of clogging due to ice build-up, keeping you moving forward even in the worst storms. In severe conditions where snow build-up occurs on the lower grid is unavoidable, the first grid can be unscrewed and removed. From here, any snow that enters the dome will be ejected out the back just like any other particulate. Pretty rad!

5th Gen 4Runner Pre Filter for ARB Snorkel

Trails are full of trees, rocks, bushes, and other items that are right at the height of your snorkel inlet. In a scenario where a tree branch impacts your standard snorkel head, the force could damage your a-pillar where it connects to the top of the snorkel, maybe even your fender! The Sy-Klone has built-in relief points in the main structure that are designed to break if there is a large impact. This sacrificial design keeps your snorkel and bodywork intact if something unexpected happens when you’re out having fun!

 Final Thoughts

MGM 5th Gen 4Runner with ARB Safari Snorkel

You installed a snorkel on your 4Runner for a reason (or a few), why not take it to the next and end-all level? The addition of the Sy-Klone Series 9001 pre-cleaner to your snorkel adds protection to your motor, increases your filter service life, and provides a few key design advantages over the typical forward-facing snorkel head.

The only thing I wish was addressed with this product is the gap between the bottom of the pre-cleaner and the “step” on the top part of the ARB snorkel. You can cut down the top of the snorkel to mate the pre-cleaner to that ridge, but with limited clearance to the a-pillar, there isn’t really any room to trim it shorter. Other snorkels (Dobinsons) may vary , but I’ll likely add a black sleeve to this small section for appearances’ sake.

From the driver’s seat, the Sy-Klone isn’t really noticeable, unless you lean down a bit like in this photo. There isn’t an increase in wind noise that’s noticeable to me, even with the window down. The only thing you will note is an increase in “intake growl” under load with the passenger window down. I’m more than OK with that, especially in low-range plowing through the snow at high RPM!

I am very excited to give this product a go and really test how well it performs in the Central Oregon dust this summer. I’ll be back after some trips and miles to report back on how the Series 9001 has faired and how dirty my air filter looks… OR DOESN’T!

To order yours head over to Snorkel Upgrade , the exclusive retailer of the Sy-Klone for the overland/off-road market!

I know from personal experience importing shipping containers from overseas, more time is spent in customs then on the boat in travel time. It costs a arm and a leg not only for shipping overseas but customs fees are out of control. I assume with the number and weight this is slow boat and not air freight.

Do you think the container is marked "Safari Snorkels for FJ Addicts?" I'm thinking we can help ARB get them "past" customs faster... :ninja: :lol: I kid, I kid. Sorta  

Give me a ceramic knife, some rope, and point me in the general direction. I'll get her done. :worried:  

Know anyone in customs? Click to expand...

So, for going snorkeling in my FJ, is there anything else I will need besides the snorkel? Are all the other components already water tight? Computer modules, etc?  

Mask and fins are optional. Water can enter the cab, and if you intend up going in water a lot, it is best to try and waterproof the ones in the cab. There may be some threads here on that, I am not sure. I am getting a snorkel for dust control though, not for water.  

Sweet, thank you sir!

Is there any other way to connect the snorkel without having to cut the panel. That is my only worry, having to cut and drill that panel.

Look at it this way, the inner fender panel has a hole in it already, so you are good there, and the outer fender is where you would need to put a hole, but it also gets reinforced with square pattern of four bolts from the ARB kit...

Thanks for the great installation details. I read through all of the replies it did not find any mention of price for the stock snorkel kit. Has the pricing been released or have any "group buys" been arranged yet?

I can design stuff, no probelm, but actually drilling a bunch of big holes into my FJ, and expecting everything to turn out great, well lets just say, I learned my lessons years ago. I will most likely have TLC do the install for me. Yeah, they are all little more expensive than others, but I have been VERY happy with the expertise and experience thay bring. Unless you want to come out to California and help me? We could work our the bugs on my rig. I have beer!

The only thing I would add is the fact that the VHB tape does not hold that well. I’ve had my snorkel installed for a week now and the tape has broken free. I guess it does like being on washboard roads, or I got some bad tape. Cheers.

Snorkel 101: Function & Step-By-Step Installation

There are few build modifications that make a vehicle look as rugged and expedition-ready as a snorkel. Also known as a ‘raised air intake’ this aftermarket addition may look cool, but it also serves some important functions.

The main purpose of a snorkel is access to clean air. Most people associate the snorkel with water crossings, as it prevents water from flooding through the vehicle’s airbox and into the engine, potentially causing electrical and mechanical damage. But a properly installed snorkel can also protect your engine from the dust that would normally enter the air intake under the vehicle’s wheel well. It works just as a swimming snorkel does – by raising the air intake, your lungs have access to the water-free air above you.

install safari snorkel

It is important to note that installing a snorkel does not give your off-road vehicle an Aquaman-like ability to breathe underwater for long periods of time. Manufacturers not only set wading and intake depths based on which components are most likely to be damaged in a water crossing, but also take into account how well sealed the cabin is from water intrusion. Have you installed a lift kit or swapped out stock tires for larger ones? These factors will also impact how you approach a water crossing. 

Snorkel fitment is another important consideration. The best bet, in our experience, is to purchase a snorkel that is made specifically for your vehicle. A snug fit is important here – you don’t want any leaks! We’ve had great success with the , and have installed them on every one of our vehicles since 2010 (with the exception of the Prospector and Gladiator builds, for which AEV manufactures ). If you don’t have the tools and materials, head to your local 4×4 shop for help with installation.

A Step-By-Step Guide to Installing an ARB Safari Snorkel Intake Kit

If you do have the tools and would like to give a snorkel installation a go, we’ve set out the how-to below! Make sure to check out Episode 26 of “Oh Hey There!” with Jeff below, as the video is a great visual complement to these instructions.

1. Use the provided template to tape and mark your drilling locations .

2. Remove the template and drill the stud holes. We like to use the step-bit as it gives a nice clean cut and won’t mangle the metal as much as a normal bit would.

3. Next, cut the large hole for the airflow intake into the engine. Using a body saw is the easiest way to create the oval shape. Some kits are also designed so that you can use a four-inch hole saw to make the cut.

4. Go in and file the edges of your holes , ensuring any burrs are  removed. Follow this up with a bit of paint to prevent any rust from forming.

5. Insert the studs into the snorkel. This is just for fitment at this point. We’ll use LOCTITE later in Step 9. We want to make sure everything lines up properly, because next is our most critical step.

6. Drilling holes into the A-pillar: Mark the area in tape where the bracket will be installed, lining the holes up correctly. Drill your holes, file and paint. Finally, insert the plastic tabs that will be screwed into later.

7. To install the air intake hose , first remove the airbox. Pinch together the end of the air intake hose that goes into the engine bay. Feed it up through the wheel well and into your air intake hole. Once that is in place, place your clamp around the air intake hose and reinstall the airbox.

8. Place the collar around the other end of the hose, which should be accessible through the large oval snorkel hole.

9. Put LOCTITE on the studs in the snorkel . Now you’re ready to mount the snorkel onto the vehicle.

10. Once that is complete, loosely screw the washers and nuts into the wheel well . We do this so that the bracket on the A-Pillar can be lined up first. Once lined up, make sure to tighten up the nuts in the wheel well and the bolts located on the A-pillar. Ensure your hose clamps are nice and tight as well, both inside the wheel well and inside the engine bay. 

11. The last step is to install the ram head. Insert the clamp around the base of the ram head first – slide it on top and tighten it down. We like to face the screw clamp to the back so that we don’t snag anything on it when we’re on the trail. 

Finally, for river crossings it is a good idea to extend your diff breathers and make sure your electrical components are also protected.

We hope this post has proved helpful! Does your vehicle have a snorkel? If so, have you noticed an improvement in the health of your engine and air filters? How about installation? Have you installed your own snorkel? Let us know if you have any questions below.

Looking good. Something I plan to eventually do to my LX as well.

I'll probably eventually do this but "What in the world am I doing?" is what keeps me from doing so...  

install safari snorkel

Overall it was pretty easy. Took me less than 2 hours. Now that I have it installed, I am going to remove it and have it smoothed out and painted green to match. My painter is gone for a week, but when I finish that, I'll be sure to post pics. I am very pleased with the fit and quality. There is no wind noise at highway speeds and it really took the soccer mom look away from the LX If, anybody else is going to do this, send me a message and I will loan you my hole saw.  

Very nice. I may do a snorkel one day but I will have to do something different about my second battery first. Can't wait to see it painted to match the body. This will be a first I have seen on a 100 series.

Just curious...does going from the intake relatively hidden under the hood to more of a scoop possibly add some fuel efficiency? Also, does this mod still allow for one of those larger K&G air filters?

Very good job. It takes a lot of courage to use a drill and hole saw on a Land Cruiser. Don't think I have what it takes. Can't make seem to make the decision to add a snorkel. May regret it later.

ARB Safari Snorkel install

Discussion in ' 2nd Gen. Tacomas (2005-2015) ' started by AbePDX , Feb 18, 2017 .

So I was debating for a while whether should I buy a snorkel or just pass on such mods because there are obviously more important mods to do first. however, after a lot of research and a lot air filters plus a couple of water drops here and there along the airfilter ram I was convinced to put the snorkel on my list. I looked everywhere trying to find a deal for the ARB safari snorkel, the only good deal I found was from OK4wd.com they had a special price on the 05-15 Tacoma plus you get a 5% off when you sign for there news letter. the install was a little bit tricky, as we faced a couple of fitment issues that required us to drill bigger holes than what the instruction sheet said, its our mistake, as we did align the template correctly however, we drilled at an angle rather than drilling straight, and that when we faced fitment issues. the clips were causing trouble a little bit, but nothing major. other than that everything else was straight forward. The goods... good thing that they put a warning there! the last time I am going to see this part of my truck! laying out the goods. we might have went a little bit over with the masking tape.... but hey! better safe than sorry, protection is good. Jeeps are always lurking around the Tacoma! The outline after we took the template off Making pilot holes for the hole saw. Then comes the hole saw, the instruction calls for a 4-1/2" but we got away with 4-1/4". first hole done second hole is drilled. then we started with drilling a pilot hole for the rest of the points. more holes at this point we wanted to make everything sits flush, and it did! after many tries. at this point we painted all the holes we made, I know my paint game is not that good, but at least its going to be covered! making the outlines on the A pillar for the bracket, I was more stressed about drilling the A pillar than drilling the fender! making pilot holes. no comment here , we cleaned the holes well before the final install. bracket goes on. at this stage we tightened the nuts that go on the bolts through the holes, reinstalled the fender well, hooked the air ram back, its a good idea to use pressured air to clean the area from all the dust and the debris from the drilling and the filing. the end result! the snorkel is well worth the money, it not only adds a protection measure for the engine and ease of mind when crossing water, but it looks beefy! in the end, I am glad the I went with ARB Safari snorkel over the other options (which we dont have a lot for the Tacoma anyway). I hope to update this thread soon with more pictures of the Tacoma in the woods and on the trails!

#15 aaen Well-Known Member

I did mine the other week and the hose fit to the air box was great. Some modifications were required on the air box (i.e remove some tabs, so the hose would sit flush), but it was a great seal. I ended up not using any sealants, so far so good.

How to: Install a Safari Snorkel on a 1993 Ford Ranger

I found some of the Safari Snorkel info on the web to install them onto our trucks kind of lacking, so I went a little overboard.

Original Poster: -Nathan- 

Disclaimer: The Ranger Station.com, The Ranger Station.com Staff, nor the original poster are responsible for you doing this modification to your vehicle. By doing this modification and following this how-to you, the installer, take full responsibility if anything is damaged or messed up. If you have questions, feel free to PM the original poster or ask in the appropriate section of The Ranger Station.com forums.

Parts Needed: – Snorkel kit (Safari Snorkels SS60HF – Fit 60 Series 1989-1989 Toyota Land Cruiser)

Well, Here’s How It Went In:

First held up the snorkel, to get an idea of where to place it.

Then marked the hole, drilled a 1/2″ hole and used a jigsaw to cut it out.

After this, I measured and drilled holes for the 4 studs that hold the snorkel to the fender. I then painted the cut edges, and bolted up the snorkel itself

Inside the fender there is a 90 degree elbow, and a flexi-hose that runs down the inside of the fender.

All the kit comes with is the 90 degree elbow (that attaches to the snorkel itself) and the flexi-hose. I then proceeded to Home Depot and picked up some 3″ ABS pipe, 2 – 90 degree couplers, and a 3″ drain connector.

Before this all, I took the stock airbox apart, and cut off all but the main duct, and sealed all of the seams with plastic weld, and black silicone. 

I then mocked up everything, and using ABC cement, sealed it up.

Then connected it to the flexi-hose with plastic weld and finally with black silicone.

Keep in mind I plumbed all of this in while RETAINING the stock INNER FENDER.

Then secured it all in place, and started to put it all back together.

At this point, I bolted the inner fender back in place and put the airbox back. I used the rubber connector along with silicone (and hose clamps) to connect the ducting to the airbox.

And the view you see when its put back, if you didn’t see the snorkel, you would never know.

Where To Buy:

You can find these snorkels on Amazon and ebay. Just make sure the snorkel you order is for a 60 Series 1989-1989 Toyota Land Cruiser.
