The theory behind making them is the same for whatever vehicle.
Just cut a hole in the guard near the air box and fab a pipe that goes to roof height.
I made one for my Sierra from 3" exhaust pipe and a 3" mandrel donut cut into wedges and welded in for the angles.
Made some brackets to screw to guard and windscreen surround.
Then just bought a donaldson 3" air ram head for the top.
It all depends how bling you want it to look you can make them out of anything from PVC to stainless.
You can also get rubber elbows if you dont want to weld/bend.

Hey Ausyota,

Have you got any pics of where the brackets are on the A pillar?

My snorkel is pretty much the same as the one ausyota has posted up but mine go's in just behind the badge!

Mines made out of exhaust with black fibre galss on the out side!

But dont forget to make it water tight as ive seen and heard of people having snorkels with holes in tubing and stuff witch defeats the perporse of having a snorkel!
Built swb sierra, building a lwb sierra ute and have a dmax for family camping
