Safari Snorkel Install

expeditionswest · Mar 29, 2005

I just finished my article on the Safari Snorkel install. An easy mod, but takes some commitment to drill a 3 1/4" hole in your fender

Thought some of you would like to check it out...

And some cool valve caps I am now using:

Where were you a year and half ago.
Were is the part about fighting the damn power antenna with that overly think rubber tube they ship you.

BTW you may want to add in there somewhere to put a little lube of some sort on that previously mentioned rubber tube to get it to slip on easier. It also helps if it's done on a warmer day as the parts will be more pliable and easier to work with.

Cute writeup.

Try installing a snorkle without a template if you want some excitement.

I recommend disconnecting the antenna wire completely so it is not accidentally cut when you drill into the fender.

Don't tell me, tell him. LOL

Awesome writeup, thanks! I'll be installing a snorkel in the next couple weeks so I can run the Fordyce trail this summer.

Later,

There will never be any gold paint anywhere near my truck. Snorkel's aren't bling, they are functional.

Now a fake stick-on chrome snorkel would be bling!

Is that some sort of dare or what? I think I can enlist lots of help. LOL

I like that much better...

I really like the valve cap writeup.

Can you do a write up showing my how to change my gas cap too?

Maybe he could do one on how to paint fenders when he's finished.

CronusTRD · Mar 30, 2005

The truck is getting repainted (different color) when I go to a flatbed, so why pay to have fenders painted twice?

This may be a stupid question.... Based on the looks from the picture, i thought of this question. So if you have a snorkel and you are drive on the freeway during a heavy rain wouldn't water get into the intake?

ChickenSoftTaco · Mar 30, 2005

Anyone have any good links for waterproofing your rig?

Dick Foster · Mar 30, 2005

It has not been a problem and I drove though a lot of rain this winter.

The Snorkel is actually made to weep water at the bottom of the scoop where it connects to the main tube.

Snorkels are chick magnets
