Sorry guys I failed at posting up details. I had taken many pictures and measurements on the install then got busy and was out of town quite a bit, long story short our house was burglarized and my laptop was stolen. Enough with the excuses though. I still have the camera and all the pictures. My Droid phone is my net connection. I can email a few pictures to those who must have them, just email me at [email protected]. I am going to see what I can get done with my girlfriends MAC on Friday.

 

[MOTOCHAIN]

I took a few photos today. I was having a hard time getting the bluetooth on the mac to talk to the bluetooth on my phone so I had to upload to Flickr. Anyone who wants to post the pictures up feel free!

The installation is pretty straightforward folks. They include a template that you pretty much align onto your fender with a few minor adjustments. TAKE YOUR TIME! I had actually took my fender all the way off to do the best job possible only to find out that it wasn't necessary.

The hardest part was tightening down the bolt on the inside of the fender that is above the snorkel body. Removal of your inner fender lining is necessary. You'll probably break a few of the plastic rivets getting the lining out but they can be found cheap from the dealership.

I did a lot of mock-ups before I started cutting holes in the fender.

Once I can get the photos off of my camera I can post pictures of the actual work.

If anyone is serious about doing this, I will sell you my 114mm hole saw that's the exact size for the large main hole. I paid $36 for the bit. I'll sell it for $25 shipped. It just makes the job a whole lot easier having an exact diameter bit instead of using a dremel.

The bracket that fixes to the side of the snorkel tower for rigidity will need to be fabricated since the included bracket won't work. I left about an inch of space between the tower and the truck surface so that I could install the bracket later.

Successful install! No problems and it's been installed for about 5 months.

Any questions, feel free to send me a message!

Thanks! It actually took awhile to grow on me. My friend had a front bumper guard and rear bumper made for his Tundra but then decided to sell the truck and restore it back to near stock condition. So he asked if I wanted them. They work for protection, but I would've designed them a little differently.

I hate to , but I have to...
What about pictures for how you connected the stock Cold Air Intake box and the Safari Snorkel?

Can we Please get some extra informative pictures of how the piping is routed. You got any pictures of this?

And if not... MOTOCHAIN... Do you have or can you make a list still of the extra parts/sealants, ect. that are required ?

I am definately going to be buying this Snorkel .
Where do I purchase it though?
It looks a lot better than I thought it would.
Defintely will come in handy for me.
Lots of flooding around the Northwest.

Thank you who-ever you are for posting MOTOCHAIN's pictures. And thanks MOTOCHAIN for taking them. Been waiting for ever. But.... Do you got any more :devil:

 

[cableguyfromhell]

ARB is the maker, you could get it from them, 4 wheelsparts, ect. or anyof the landcruiser part sites, i believe this was the 100 series ,right?

Lexus LX470 / Land Cruiser 100 Series Safari Snorkel System

So this is the one.

Looks like I'll be heading down to ARB, in Renton, WA and seeing the difference between the 100 series snorker and the 200 series. And which one might fit better. And pickup the lockers I need while I'm there on WILL CALL.

I have the TRD supercharger for the V8 and I can't have a restriction. the bigger the better so I don't choke it out.

i found those pics of the other tundra that had a snorkel

post it man

Due to have wide 3inch glassworks fiberglass fenders i couldnt order a 100 series safari snorkel and call it a day. What i did was just order the top part ram air of the safari snorkel . Use 3inch pvc 45 & 90 couplers and route under the fender . Cut a big hole and bam ,heres my snorkel custom made to fit with fiberglass fenders.

You better install a smaller screen size in that opening....When I first saw this all I could think of was chewing gum wad (girlfriend) cigarette butt (boyfriend) magnet...."Watch this"

I woudn't park it to close to ANY high school. Looks good!

 

[Atilla the Tundra]

I know kids that would have done that too...

 

[jamesjr4750]

I'd slip one of these over the top when off-Roading some dusty roads, watery areas, Ram Head Cover

Here is what others' experiences were while offroading.
This is crazy IMO. - Toyota FJ Cruiser Forum

And here's what you can do to cover up the open top

This snorkel may be made for the 100 series land cruiser but you'd be amazed how well everything lines up. The most important thing you need to do is take your time when you are measuring, before you drill holes. The template that they provide you will take all the difficult measuring away.

Align the curve of your fender with the curve on the snorkel body (the flat part of the snorkel that rests against the fender actually has a slight indentation that is designed to work with the curve of the fender), then align the top part of the snorkel with the slope of your windshield. It really helps if you have an extra set of hands so that one person can hold the snorkel and the other can align it properly.

As for the actual plumbing, don't worry about it at all, the bladder that connects your stock box to the snorkel hooks up like they're designed for the tundra. And there is a little wiggle room.

The 100 series land cruiser also has the 4.7l motor so the intake diameter is the same.

You will have to disconnect and relocate your radio antenna.

Tool wise, the hole saw I stated in a previous post is about the only specialty tool I used.

I ordered from SierraExpeditions.
