Enjoyed watching the install, clear directions! Wish they would make one for 2nd gens bc I think this is the best looking one on the market. Wouldn't mind a pre filter adapter also. We can all dream ha.
I have a victory roof rack. It seems like the snorkel would be to the side of the roof rack. I wonder if I could just drill holes into the side plate of the roof rack and attach it that way. I don’t really want to take the roof rack mount off to attach the snorkel mount
I just recently purchased a 2016 Tacoma TRD Offroad but the previous owner installed a cold air intake on it and I don’t have the factory parts for the air box. How would that work?
So I just purchased this set up for my 2017. I live in the East Coast and we get a fair amount t of coastal rain. I noticed after lite rain tonight that the snorkel itself and tubing along pillar had water in it. Almost wishing I’d have gone with ARB for the SyKlone attachment. Any recommendations other than having to turn the head around every time it rains? I’ve contact SyKlone asking if they have an adapter but I’ve received zero response.
Great looking snorkel however, one important floor that needs to be noted of the snorkel head. They are not taking any accounting to design that many of these trucks or dare I say, most will put a roof rack on them for Overlanding especially on the Toyota right there there’s an immediate conflict. I have a Nissan frontier and would purchase this item as mine is a 2023 but know that with that current design if it looks the same for that truck, it will conflict with any of the roof racks on the market and recessive you for over landing.
I would assume so yes, because it still dumps to the OEM intake in the wheel well. You’d just have to do some cutting on the rubber duct. Don’t quote me tho lolol.
@@Runnin4Tacos I understand but there are situations where shit happens. I was a driver in the military and they had snorkels and exhaust extensions for the old jeeps, the distributor was water tight and the spark plug wires screwed into the heads.
@@douglasbaker5949 Yeah, There is nothing for the offroading industry to make stuff water tight like military vehicles lol. Just minor to medium water crossings.
Nice! At 12:15, I think you are inserting the head too much into the main body of the snorkel. This I think is closing the gap between the opening on the main body and the head depriving the flow of air into the engine. One other thing is the snorkel is $500 while I bought my truck for $36K Brand new so the price is not proportional to the price of the truck. Also turning the head to rear is OK, but at high speeds, there will be a vacuum at the mouth of the head.
Thanks for the feedback! The price of the snorkel shouldn’t be based off of how much you got the truck for but if you’d like a more expensive snorkel, check out the upTOP Overland snorkel.

Great how too video! Keep up the killer work!!!
🙏
Awesum tutorials as alwayz T.
Another addition to the, "Will Aquire List"
I could watch someone work on a taco with that sax playing all day
😂😂😂

Yeah that's what we did on the Prinsu
I just recently purchased a 2016 Tacoma TRD Offroad but the previous owner installed a cold air intake on it and I don’t have the factory parts for the air box. How would that work?
Do snorkels provide enough air to the engine at highway speeds?
That’s so sick, love that look. I have a K&N cold air intake I’m guessing this wouldn’t work for this set up.
If it still has a duct that goes into your fender then it should work just fine
Does this work with prinsus roof rack ?
I've seen it done. It does share the same mounting holes though
Prinsu makes a roof rack that works with TRD snorkel. I have it installed on mine.
Too bad it touches against my uptop $2,000 rack lol
Now I have to find a different snorkel
What up buddy. Can I Install snokel if have prinsu rack installed??
Is the best looking snorkel yet. Kinda sucks it doesn’t work with roof racks.
was about to ask if it works
Can this be done on the 4cyl Tacoma? I noticed the air intake box is in the same spot. mines a 2019
Nice job. And I don’t even have a taco
Does anyone know where I can find one for a 2015 tundra 4x2 ???

Yeah take it out and throw it in the trash. Then install an o.e manufacturer closed air intake 👍

looks cool! not sure why there isn't one cool looking like this for 5th gen 4 runner...
There is
Cant wait to get my tacoma once this chip shortage shizz is done
Does this work with roof racks??
Some like the Prinsu
How does it affect a full roof rack? Looks like it would interfere with the front/side faring.
To my knowledge, only works with the Prinsu that is designed for the OEM Toyota snorkel…unless you do some cutting lol.
How would that mount with a Prinsu up top?
You’d have to remove the top bracket & make it fit…unless you have the Prinsu designed for the OEM snorkel.
Does the cyclone pre filter fit?
Speaking of rain and snow are there water drain holes like Safari ones?
Won’t work with SnorkelUpgrade since it’s not a perfect circle on top. Unless they have one I don’t know bout.
Can you run a snorkel with aftermarket intake? Such as afe for example
I would assume so yes, because it still dumps to the OEM intake in the wheel well. You’d just have to do some cutting on the rubber duct. Don’t quote me tho lolol.
Curious, how would it benefit if the snorkel is turned backwards? Wouldnt the vent facing backwards suck air out rather than in?
You have to change it to backwards when it’s raining, so water doesn’t get sucked in
Think it’ll work with a factory roof rack?? With some creativity… bracket aside will it clear?
I think it's possible with some creativity for sure
Any idea when the uptake snorkels will ship?
Not 100% sure but upTOP will let us know
Question is it compatible with the TRD PRO cold air intake and Will it work with a prinsu to roof rack ??????
Yes and yes. They share the same mounting holes but I've seen it done. Just have not done it myself
What’s up with 3rd gen Tacoma’s and the battery acid? It’s my second battery that does that .
It’s just a battery issue
Hope they have different brackets for roof racks already installed. Pretty cool looking snorkel either way.
To my knowledge, only works with the Prinsu that is designed for the OEM Toyota snorkel…unless you do some cutting lol.
@@aaaandrew copy that hmmm it would be fun to try and figure out a new mounting system for it using the front runner rack lol.
FRO rack might work…since you can slide it back in the channels…but I have yet to see it. Idk if anyone’s tried either…
@@aaaandrew hmmm may have to be the first one to try it hahaha
will this work for a tacoma 2023 Off Road
Yes it will.
Is this compatible with the UpTop roof rack?
No sir
Well so you got the air intake above the water what about the exhaust? The water pressure will lock the engine up
You don't want to let go of the gas when you are in deep water. Keep the pressure going OUT.

Does this work with Prinsu Rack?
We have been told it does
Real question is will it fit with an uptop roof rack?
No sir it will not
What was the total installation time?
A few hours
This place quoted me 10 hours of labor to install it…. I kinda called BS….
Ouch
What’s the point of the snorkel?
To cut into your fender for no reason
To get cleaner colder air. It helps a lot when you take dusty roads or drive in the dessert.Also helps when crossing water

So many things wrong with this product. Probably just to give consumers some hopes, like installing a k&n filter to give it 20 horsepower 😂.
