well i built a home made snorkel for my truck, i think it came out pretty good... let me know what you think, i do have a cover for the air filter though so it wont get wet or anything like that and defeat its purpose.

 

Wow... What can I say... I'd not make mine another time that way but if it's useful and you like it...

Sorry, I don't want you to take offense, really.

none taken, i know it looks stupid and stuff, but its the winter vehicle for me, and to be honest with you the whole truck is really a joke lol hence the reason for the 3 inch PVC and air filter on top lol

 

well its certainly unique thats for sure...whatever makes you happy though, thats what i always say

 

haha unfortunately its not so unique anymore, 2 of my friends who also have 89-95? trucks like mine have also done this mod using PVC, but mines the only one thats painted so, but its all good

 

You'll drown before you hydrolock your motor...

 

I was in the process of building one for my 95 4Runner before I decided to stop throwing money into her. You can actually buy the snorkle head from ARB for about $60. I picked up one of those and some black PVC and planned to run it inside the fender wall. I picked up a different style/sized air box from the junk yard off of a Chrysler mini van and planned to connect the AFM to it, then route the PVC out and up from the air box. The only part missing was a custom bent aluminum tube going from the throttle body to the AFM. Coulda been sweet...

At the very least, I'd recommend you look into buying the snorkle head fro ARB. It won't go over the filter you have at the top, but it sure would look a lot better. I'll bet you could get that PVC inside the fender well, too, with a little patience and a heat gun. I've got a feeling you're eventually going to rip that thing off your truck if you do any serious wheeling.

yea i'm not too worried about it, but thanks for all the suggestions, i dont do any serious wheeling, mostly just small water crossings, nothing intense, but i appreciate your sugguestions

double the air flow, double the power......

 

You realize that a sex-toy party is not the place to buy a snorkel right?

 

alltime,

man, i would redo that. PVC is cheap

Ok, all joking aside, if you are in NH you should come wheeling with ttora-ne and ne4roc. Get on our forum www.ne4roc.org/forum.

I tend to agree with Bob, it needs some refinement, the theory is sound, but it needs to be brought in closer to the vehicle. There is no reason for it to be so tall.

 

It screams "I'M FROM ALABAMA AND I LOVE THE TIDE!!!!!!!"




(hey,college football is starting soon)

 

yea... i might try to do some refitting, but its not that big of a deal to me, i only dirve the truck for a few months a year so... but i'll check out that forum you gave me a link to, i'm not too too big into offroading allthough the times i did go i had a blast, but i just don't have extra money to be spending into this if i break something out on the trail, i just like having a truck covered in mud lol

 

It's the new Al Queda vehicle mounted anti-aircraft missile system!



















J/K if it works and you like it

 

Props to you, man for making it yourself... though it is kind of phallic in form... At least you won't hydrolock! Periscope up!

 

Man that would be a great way to launch fire works from seriously does it pull air good?

 

yea man, when you nail the gas you just hear the air being sucked in, espically with that filter on the top, it doesn't seem like the bend in the fender affects it that bad, but i haven't driven it yet to let you know
