Wait a minute, so the ARB snorkel is roughly $350 and they don't even give you a full kit? That's stupid. Looks good though! I'm gunna design my own this summer.

Distributer cap/wires, Relocate ECU, differential breathers, if you have an auto transmission breather (I think I remember reading about that), you're not gunna want to have carpet and you need a way for water to drain from the cab. I'm sure there's more than that, but that's a start.

Another thing I'm going to work on is an electric fan that can be switched off in the case of water crossings.
A great bit of 4crawler info:

very nice job; after my small lift and a borla pipe and such, I may have to tackle this one myself. What did you use to reseal/waterproof around the holes you drilled and cut? how snug is it around the big hole you cut? could it have been tighter? any changes you would have made during the process, now that you have it in?

I've been trying to figure out a snorkle set up for my Supra VMAF/battery swap for a couple of years now and just can't seem to find one that works. If I'd have been smarter I'd have gone with the factory set up and used a Safari like you did.
Guess I'm stuck with cutting the hood and mounting that pig under a scoop.
The mount is easy enough to make it just looks freaking strange. *grin*
