Anyone know if a 2" body lift will interfere with the installation of an ARB Safari Snorkel?

 

I don't know for sure if it will interfere, but even if it will it doesn't seem like anything that couldn't be easily cured. The molded exterior pieces will of course be in the same location, it will be the interior air duct that will need lengthened.

 

I've read that you have to buy the Tacoma air tube for the snorkel to fit the 4runner. Does this replace the entire air intake under the hood? How does everything fit together under the hood?

 

The air box is mounted to the body, so it wouldn't matter if you had a 2" body lift or not.

 

Ya I was more concerned with the intake tube going to the engine. Might be a little off

 

It shouldn't be an issue. I have installed 2 on my 2nd Gen's and the only thing you might run into is inside. There isn't much room for error. You can always add more to it to make it reach.

 

You're absolutely fine, the throttle, intake, airbox, tacoma sleeve and snorkel fitting all stay the same.

the younger 3rd gens had the taco sleeve included and connected from factory, i'm pretty sure that excludes 2000 but pull your well liner down and take a peek for yourself

 

So true, just remember your antenna is behind where you snorkel hole is going so be careful and remove it, unlike i did. I killed my antenna

 

i took mine out but realized the reception didn't really changed so i chucked it like a bad habit, i really want to do the taco whip antenna anyways

 

It shouldn't be a problem, I've got a 1" BL on my '01 and had no issues with the install. Remember to get the Taco air intake tube to replace your stock 4Runner one for the Safari Snorkel to install properly. It's part number 53807-35020.

As I mentioned we had no real issues with the install, however just prior to drilling the main hole, it looked as if my fender flares might interfere or get cut into a bit. You can see here the snorkel mounts just above the flares.

 

Ya I already destroyed my power antenna mast offroading. I just ripped it the rest of the way off and did the tacoma whip mod.

 

Looks great! Where did you purchase yours from? The only place I have been able to find the snorkel is 4x4connection.com

 

contact Toytec lifts at (303) 255-4959

 

Its cheap and easy to do, I have done it twice.

 

I got mine from Curtis at 4x4 Connection. If you look at the 4Runner on their website for the Toyota Safari Snorkels, that's mine. Curtis took some pics of the install since it was the first time they had installed a Taco snorkel on a 4Runner.

 

Ya thats the only site I've seen them available on. I think I'm gonna go ahead and purchase it from them.

 

How much does that bad boy cost??

I've found one on ARB's site and it's in the 300's...it's definately on my list of mods.

Take pics!

Hey you beat me to it!

 

Do I need the factory air elbow that connects to the 4runner air box to install the snorkel? Or does the new tacoma air sleeve come with it? Here is a diagram, its #7.
