Snorkel for 88 pickup
I want to put a snorkel on my truck, and dont want to build one from scratch. I have been looking around on the web but havent found one for my 1988 pickup. I did find one for a 88 4runner made by arb would this work on my truck?

The ARB one which they say is made for 4runners will fit your truck, I bought one for my truck a few weeks ago (I bought it to protect against all the crap roads around my farm as opposed to surviving water crossings), but haven't put it on yet. However, it is designed for 22Rs, not 22REs, so to put one on your truck you will have to do some customization or so the directions say.
Oh, and you -will- have to move your ignition coil, at least until you have the snorkel hooked up, but it might be a good idea just to put it somewhere else entirely so it's out of the way.
I'm hoping that when I put mine on the subtle differences in the front fenders between the 4wd and 2wd trucks won't come back to bite me in the patootie, at least the template seems to match.
e: Oh yeah, the snorkel is pretty big, and it has a divot in it because it's originally meant for RHD vehicles and that's where the antenna on them is. To install it, all you need is a hole saw (86mm or the closest imperial), a step drill (one that goes at least to 16mm or imperial equivalent iirc), some wrenches, and whatever modified ducting you have to fab up.
There's also a precleaner attachment (I might invest in one down the line because I'm not keen on sucking up snow), which I think I read somewhere on here was meant to protect against heavy road dust and sand.

If you do any kind of tight trails I wouldnt suggest a snorkel, they get cuaght up and broken. If you have to have your intake above the roofline of your vehicle route it into the cab. The only thing the snorkel is really going to protect u against is hitting water fast and it shooting in behind the headlight and into your intake. You cant really even hit stock intake height without submerging your ecu, and then a little deaper and your ignition and other electical will be submerged and your snorkel isnt gona help that, unless u water proof it all wich sounds difficult to do properly. I have a cold air intake set up and I can go through fairly deep water without worrying.

Its rare that I am in really really tight areas, and I am getting it mostly for dust. It is pretty common that in the summer I will be behind other rigs in a dust cloud. I also like the look of an external snorkel.

eh, not really. You hit water "hard" that wave is going over the top of the cab anyway regardless of snorkel height, it's suckin it in.
Cold air intakes work great at pulling in HOT air out of your engine bay...really great while crawling along trails...
A snorkel will pull in cold air from OUTSIDE making engine happy(I've proven this on the trail...). Oh and it's a matter of time before your cold air filter element WILL suck water in. I suggest a splash guard because water and mud goes everywhere when its hit "hard" in the engine bay...I'm just sayin. Going "deep submersion" takes a fair amount of water proofing. I suggest removing your carpet first...

How did you prove it on the trails? Got a write up of that?
