Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi guys..
have seen these on some of the old FJ40's. i quite like the look of them, and feel one would fit in with the "theme" of my Tonk... anyone had one?
are they any good?.. how do they compare to a snorkle?
what could i expect to pay for one?. anyone got one?..lol

cheers

Rob

Rob,

Easy mod to do, frees up a heap of under bonnet space, did it to my old 40 series.

You have to make a bracket off the guard, and cut a hole through the bonnet or upper mud guard, go though the guard as the bonnet cracks between the hole and the bonnet vent over a period of time,

Cost approximate... 200 for the fiter body and about 40 for the filter it self. Place a large 'O' ring around the filter cover of the front and it will work as a snorkel, and use a 'scoop' for the intake and you will get a air ram effect, Make sure that you size it properly mine was a 8" body, 3" in and out.

thanks for that Cliffy
when you say size it correctly do you mean to the size of the engine?. i have a 253 Holden lump. what size would i need do you think?
are these still available from new?

i will try some wreckers today and see what i can come up with.

thanks mate..

My local bearing/industrial supply are the agents for donaldson, so have a look there.... they are available new... probabily the only wreckers would be an industrial/tractor wreckers.

As far as sizing, I used to run a 3" inlet and outlet on a 3b (3.4 litre) so a 253 should be ok.

Have a look here and see how you go....

thanks Cliffy, good site, hoping to get some feed back from them.
i have spoken to a wrecker here and he said he hadnt seen one for quite a while, but the last one he sold went for 110 bucks. not bad really. these guys where 4X4 only, so i will take your advice and try some truck/inductrial wreckers too.

cheers

mate out of curiosity any reason why a 3 inch bent up bit of pipe cant fit in as a custom snorkel??

running a V8 you could even make twin snorkels??

just a thought, i got 3 inch polished staino for 130.

well, it might well come to that yet. i just fancied something different. i also want to be able to drop my windscreen when im out in the bush for a shooting platform, and as i can tell id prolly need to mount the pipe work to the screen.

also i like the look of the donaldson unit. it keeps the "theme" of the truck.

ive got one that has 3 inch in/outlets thats to big for me i wanted to mount it under the bonnet. ill get some sizes if yor interested you can have it for 100 plus postage.

if its all complete and has the inlet scoop too thats a deal!

not really that interested in teh dims as im going to mount it on the fender.

do you have a pic??????
