- In this rather poorly produced and edited video you can watch me cut a hole in the side of the 1st gen Tacoma and instal a snorkel air intake so you can finally get groceries in style without fear of drowning in the parking lot.

15:16 Spray the rubber with a little bit of WD-40 it will slide right in.
Now we are learning! thanks man, great tip!
Or at least spit on it. Cold even dip you finger in you washer or coolant. reservoir
You never want to go in dry ;)
I don't like WD-40 for that purpose because it can react with rubber same for anti-freeze. The safest thing I have found for that purpose is petroleum jelly aka vaseline.
Silicone grease will work much better
I always used astroglide and water but that's probably a better idea 😂
Did I miss the part where the fender went back up inside and we're attached it to the air box??
“We’re overlanding now, boys! Dude, that was ... [infinite silence]”
haha oh man its true!
This is the best snorkel install I have seen on TH-cam for the 1st Gen Toyota Tacoma 4x4. It's on my to do list for my 2002 Tacoma 4x4 SR5 Double Cab. I will use Gorilla tape to secure it to the A pillar as I won't drill into my A pillar.
What??? So your snorkel won’t be funcional? I’m confused
Just drill the pillar! Everyone is doing it bud.
@@David-qw2iv Yes his snorkel will be functional. Unlike you’re reading comprehension.
@thedetective8150 Did that end up working? If so, what tape did you use? Any need to remove and replace over the years?
@@JD_49 I sold my 2002 Tacoma 4x4 SR5 Double Cab two years ago and never had the chance to install the snorkel. I did buy a 2004 Tundra DC Limited 4x4 that the previous owner put over $11k in upgrades and I bought it for $14k in cash. It was a steal and thank God his wife was pestering him to sell their Tundra and 4Runner. They wanted to buy EV vehicles and get away from ICE vehicles.
Yeah I would be stressed out to drill the first hole, maybe I will put one on my truck. Thanks for sharing.
You bet
Sik! Getn it done asap..I have a 97 T100 3.4l v6 extracab, it is my 13yr old sons overland build, stage some...and this is some of what we are gona be doing to it! Yeh buddy
haha rad! those T100's are really neat platforms
Dude, I need to see more of that toolbox tailgate. Any vids on that buid?
Just ordered mine; last one available! :O
Thanks for the awesome vid!
Sweet! its a fun instal.
Also, if you use a universal joint with your impact driver, dont get any loose skin caught in it like I did a few months back... It can REALLY mess up your day, and your appendages.
@12:08 To prevent breaking a drill bit use Tap Magic (kerosene). In a pinch you can use pretty much any oil.
So those push through plastic retainers you cut to remove the inner fender are a pain to try and salvage. I would have bought new ones as well, seeing how the dealer would have done the same thing. But if prefer for easier and cost savings in the end get the inner fender retainers from an earlier pickup. They clip onto the fender and will allow you to reuse your fastening hardware.
Looks good, but I prefer products closer to home, preferably the US and not Malaysia like the one you ordered. I’d even prefer products from Australia, them mates be building some good products.
You should have put some silicone on the pipe joints and also the snorkel head you can not install it all the way down it needs to be a bit of a space where the line cuts are for water drainage
@overlandunderbudget did you caulk the 3 self tapping screws where the bracket connects the snorkel? Was wondering if water had the ability to get into those holes and cause rust.
Great job! Thanks for the info
been following you on instagram for a while, i have a 99 tacoma 5speed 4x4, wondering what those bed racks are called and where to get them? and i just bought that snorkel too i love the vids and posts, christian is a good kid btw good job
Thank Michael! i really appreciate it. The bed racks were a craigslist purchase and im not sure who made them. I added the bars that run with the truck bed, thats just angle iron.
What are the measurements for the fender liner trims? And were can i buy a batch?
I feel like my windshield would crack if I mounted it to the piller
I think there is a pretty good gap between the glass and the pillar.
It's fine. I've had my snorkel on for almost a decade and it's been great.
Is there any way you could get some shots of what the snorkel fittings and attachments look like under the hood?
Purchased & setting in the garage waiting on other parts to come in for other mods. Don’t necessarily think I need it to cross window high water but cooler and cleaner air intake should help power & mpg plus, bonus if have to cross deep water.
Beautiful... I don’t know if I have the stones to try this on mine... 04
pre-runner DBL cab...
It takes a little guts to make that cut the included template really makes it simple. Go for it!
Do you have the link to the clips used to hold the wheel well liner in place?
Lol save the cut out as a necklace!!! Lol
2:19 maybe sliders should have been purchased first? haha!
“I know we’re gonna get waaay knarlier tail down.”
Dudes that’s pretty awesome
Thanks!
Who was waiting for him to hit the windshield drilling it lol??
Me!! Haha was so worried
How has it held up after two years? Considering one for my tacoma.
You made it look too easy man, now im worried 😂😂
ha it is actually pretty easy.
I have a question about those fender flares that you took off that don't need the clips. I want to install those same standard fenders which I rhino lined onto my Tacoma but it is the same issue with no holes did not come with them. I was going to drill holes myself... Should I not even bother? Do they hold on well without needing the holes?
don't drill! they hold on really well without any clips. If you need extra holding power, try double-sided automotive adhesive or mounting tape.
Don't you have to connect to the engine air filter box???????????
Love it!
Thanks! Pretty low quality, but its out there!
It looks better without the 90 degree on top, just drill some holes in bottom of air box for water drain and would be fine without, plus less bugs in snorkel.
Are you trolling dude ? What ridiculousness is this ?
Where can I get that extension? The similar mod I bought doesn’t come with
They do make clip removal tools for those liner clips...
haha im sure they do!
Worth like 98 bucks as we speak. How is it holding up my friend
Link to buy that particular snorkel please.
Do you have any suggestions on how I could make one work? I have a cold air intake installed and do not have the old air box.
Whats the size if the self tapping screw
Made an account on tacomaworld just to buy those gel stickers, couldn’t find the post. Link for them?
is a 1999 tacoma 1st generation?
Where did you get the snorkel? I want one that has the indention for the Trd barde
What seats are in that truck?
Where can I get those flares for my first. Gen ?
I searched high and low for a set and finally after about 4 months a pair popped up on my local craigslist
Looks good can’t wait to get my 1st Gen and do this mod. Also makes me want to do this to my 4th Gen 4Runner. What are the specs on the Taco?
Heck ya! Its a fun mod to do. This truck is a 1996 Tacoma regular cab, 4cyl, Manual everything, 5spd, 4x4 with locking hubs. Fender flares are off of a 2004 TRD, wheels are stock Toyota steelies r16, Tires are BGF k02, 265/75r16
Lifted?
@@stacia4652 front is a small aluminium spacer from eBay. I think it lifted it about 2.5 inches
When did you change your snorkel head ???
Does it have any holes for water to escape??
Hello, is it compatible with 2.7 (3rz) engine?
Where did u get these fender flares?I might do this same snorkel setup too!! 👍
Craigslist after a few months of searching. Ive seen them on ebay as well.
Would like to know where truck rack was purchased ...???
Live in Hawaii
hey! I got this one off the local craigslist
Did you have to add any type of sealer to the hose connection?
When I did mine I added clear caulking to the inside of all joints. Just incase a hose clamp ever failed
What tire size are you using? Those wheels look awsome i want to do the same
Thanks! These are 16x7 toyota steel rims which are used as spare wheels from the factory. Tires are 265/75 r16 BFG ko2's
cmon, be honest, you didn't get the top nut done did you? I could not reach mine for the life of me, I can touch it with a finger but no chance it goes on. Maybe I've just got huge guns :) ya, that must be it.
I need that badge!
Yes! The badge is everything! Look up “Sticker hi” on Instagram
water / spit will lube that plastic joint
Doesn't look like the passenger door is going to open from the angles you are showing.
I see that too ?
I thought so too until I watched the video. At 17:02 you can see the door is open with the snorkel. Would be wild if people made and purchased snorkels if they didn't let you open a door huh
Where do I find tacoma world
haha right next to "dot com"
19:09 big mistake drilling holes there. Cab gonna leak when it rains.
Negative, I drilled the same holes and have had no leaks since:-)
Put some silicone under the plate before screwing down. No issues
They call this guy the butcher.
hahaha definitely
What happens when it rains
it washes the spiders out
@@OverlandUnderBudget LOL
WHAT TIRES AND RIMES ARE YOU RUNNING?
those are stock steel tacoma spare wheels R16 and bfg ko2s 265/75r16
@@OverlandUnderBudget thanks you
is that a working snorkel ore just cosmetic ?
Don't ruin your first gen with a lame snorkel!!!
I don't think you understand the purpose of snorkels
@@JD_49 I do understand the purpose of what a snorkel on an overland vehicle is supposed to be used for. What they are truly used for is looks. Nobody, maybe 2%, that puts a snorkel on their truck or off road vehicle ever uses them. It's just like the "Itty bitty ladder" that Toyota guys put on their 4Runners too 🤣. Let me guess, you have a tent mounted on your Tacoma that you claim you camp with, yet just keep it on there 24/7 because it looks cool. All the same shit, I think it's funny 😆
Lol, these guys doing a snorkel install on the public roads
g style
What are those taillight
