Hi, welcome Luke.

I recall reading somewhere that a company actually makes an off the shelf snorkel to fit an Aussie Rocky. I can't remember what brand it was though. :?

Hopefully someone else can shed more light on the subject?

and here the GQ Snorkel is mentioned

Haven't been able to locate where I read an off the shelf one was available.

Also, this isn't a snorkel, but it's something you might like :twisted: http://www.dencodiesel.com/kits.html

Luke,
The air cleaner on both turbo and non turbo 2.8 diesel Rockys is the same. So if you can find a snorkle off the shelf to fit, it will fit both. Otherwise, do what the rest of us have done, and fab your own.

Cheers
David
