Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G’day All

I have a 93 2.8L diesel single cab Hilux. So far, I’ve painted the rims black and installed 6x9’s in the doors. Very happy with both.

I’ve caught the DIY bug (plus I’m a Uni student and do things on a shoe string budget) and would now like to try a DIY snorkel.

Here’s one I found on this forum that I reckon looks pretty good…

If anyone who has pics/info on DIY snorkels please post away. The more info and pics the better.

Cheers.

P.S. I have done a search but couldn’t find any detailed instructions or pics.

here is mine off my fj73
made with 3 inch steel exhaust pipe and flexy rubber hose for the bends, and at the top i cut the pipe on an angle and welded another piece on to make it kick vertical at the top for the attachement of the snorkle head
All up it cost $120: 30 for steel pipe, 40 for flex rubber pipe, 20 big hose clamps, 30 for safari snorkle head from wreckers

Thanks for the reply mate. Looks awesome. Good info and pics.

How close does the snorkel come to catching when you open the door?

not to close i havent hit it with the door at all which is good

yeah stainless is more expensive and that turbo silicon hose i think is around $100+/per meter i think don't know what bends are woth but they look bling also if your in qld, transport dep will probaly be able to defect you because it's "reflective" just like chrome or anodised gauge covers on bonnet or piller.

the blue bends are about $70 each and bright polished stainless i payed $80 for 4foot from ebay

cool knew some one would know i'd preffer plastic say safari or airtec style as i've had mine squashed flat on embankments trees etc and it just pops out and doesn't damage the body but steel pipe will do some damage and need replacing. Just something to consider
