Have done a search but can't seem to find anything. Has anyone done a home made snorkel on their 80 series? Was thinking of getting some ideas instead of paying for $300-$500 for a safari.

J, as already discussed, i will gladly offer a reacharound if you can do this x2 :armsup:

tried looking a while ago, check these threads, last one is 80 specific.
