Hi,
I have a 75 series troopy that didn't come stanard with a snorkel. What would be the best way to install a snorkel on a troopy? Any help would be great.
Thanks

Snorkel on 75 series

go to toyota and get a genuine one if you want to otherwise, visit your local 4x4 store (TJM, ARB, or independent) and get an aftermarket one.
Get them to fit it unless you are comfortable with cutting holes in your body panels. If you do it yourself, then make sure you paint the bare metal left from the cutting so you dont get rust problems later. and use lots of silicone.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

id stick with the safari snorkel... as its the cheapest on the market (apart from the cheap and nasty "air-flow->" crap 
) and it does the same job as the airtec etc, as for the genuine snorkel 
... they arent what they say they are, they are purely there for extracting dust...... have a good look at one and you will see the problems.... plus the price of these is absurd near 900 bucks compared to 550 for the safari supplied and fitted.....go and have a chat to ya local ARB dealer they will have all the info you need

have a look how skinny the pipe is going from the restrictive air cleaner in to the motor. I think you are clutching at straws. The difference performance wise will be negligable. But if it's a race vehicle and you want to get every last little bit out of the motor and have a turbo, modified your air intake, put in a high flow air filter etc then it is a valid comment.
In the real world 0.1secs doesn't matter.
As far as cracks go i havent seen any on mine. but that can happen to any snorkel and will depend on installation quality and batch of plastic, how it's used/abused and looked after etc etc etc.
in the end a snorkel is a snorkel.
Main thing is to make sure that the one you get is made of a plastic that isn't to brittle (so the first branch that hits it doesnt put a hole in it) and doesn't break down in the sun. And finally that it is water tight, hence using silicon. otherwise it defeats the purpose.

On late model vechiles with oxygen sensors fitted best to use a sylicone that is sensor safe otherwise it can upest the sensor,wich won't matter to a 75 series.If fitting youreself after u cut the hole dont use the packet of rust proofing they supply take the time and paint it the rust proofing eventually washes off and u get that lovely rust stain running down the guard.
