Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Do I really have to pay $500 for a peice of plastic coming off the side of my car??

I could use poly pipe (would look sh1t) but would work yeah??


Any one got custom snorkles they want to share secrets??


Thanks

Stuart

Rubber bends and alloy or stainless pipe.

Have you checked prices on Airflow snorkels from 4WD systems? http://www.4wdsystems.com.au/

More like $350 than $500. Might still be too much, I guess, depending on what you're after.

try some wrecking yards mate

just make it outta stainless, sub 200

same goes for cargo barries, Price seems to go up every week.

Roof racks are getting there also.

Im gunna sell my safari snorkle and make a new one out of PVC or mandrel exhaust and still have change. it will have a larger dia as well as prob seal better

i thought $500 was a cheap mod for a 4x4 . cheap insurance for your engine

Don't make it out of PVC.....I had that on my sierra..... as soon as you lean it on a bank or give it a good nudge it explodes.....

Stainless tube and rubber bends are the go!

If you can't afford $500 for a snorkel, I suggest you sell your 4by and buy a Corolla cause the mod prices only go up from there ...

I got a TJM snorkel from the wreckers for $200.00 inc delivery.

yea, $10,000 engine, $500 is cheap, that would be fitted...

Hey Animal,

Not lookin for one yet, but more curious to see if there was an easier way (cheaper way) of getting one when i decide to take the leap and cut a hole in my front guard, lol


Thanks for the off though man and when I decide to buy one ill have a look around the forums in the selling section.

very true

hey mate, if you wanna go stainless steal, go to TUBE SALES just off settlement rd in thomastown, $80 bucks for 2mtrs of 4'' stainless, then get your 4'' rubber angles for around $30 bucks each, or the proper snorkel end was $45- from COBURG TRUCK PARTS on the hume h'way cambelfield... plus a few bolts but no where near & $500!!

coburg truck trucks - 9308 0088, sorry dont have the number for tube sales,

& just thought id let u know i had the 45' degree angle at the top facing back before but it always seemed to suck in the dirt & mud from the back wheel, so i put on the proper snorkel end!! no mud or dust as yet & goes heaps better having the cold air intake!! just an idea

GQ351. Snorkel looks great. im just up the road from thomastown so might be worth a look down there. What did you use over the hole you cut in the guard, is it like a rubber boot? how did you fix the snorkel to the pillar?

hey shanus' thanks mate, with mine i used just a peice of C channle rubber from CLARKS RUBBER just to dress it up around the hole, as you can see in the pic fore the pillar i used a peice of 4'' x 4'' stainless steel plate & bolted it to the snorkel & self tapperd it to the pillar.. & bolted it to the gaurd with 2 bolts spaced with rubber gromets so it sits away from the gaurd & doesnt rattle. hope this helps abit...

Just completed my custom snorkel yesterday.
Cost me around $230 all up later add $50 for a stainless 45 bend insted of rubber and you still come under $300....

Pretty big saving also can get a full pipe with welded bends in stainless for about $280 then you fit the rest...ie rubber 90 into the guard....
