I know that a lot of us (well maybe not a lot, but at least a few) would like a snorkel to attempt deep water crossings. I've had water come up over my hood, and it scared the crap outa me and a snorkel would have eliminated that threat. I emailed Safari Snorkels to see if they could do a Tundra snorkel, and here are the responses:

Unfortunately the Tundra is not sold here in Australia. - Product

Sorry I can't assist you.

Here’s the installation diagram from the web site for your reference:

So, we're back to the same problem we ran into with the APS turbo kit. Will a Landcruiser part fit a Tundra? As Rainer said, the body is the most important issue. It appears to me that the Landcruiser and the Tundra share the same fender and A pillar style, but I could be wrong. Is there any way we can verify this? If so, mating the snorkel to the air intake shouldn't be too difficult, even tho Toyota has redesigned the intake.
I think that besides custom, the Safari Snorkel is our only hope. Anyone know of other companies that might be able to make us a snorkel?
