Finally got this installed. No issues with pop-rivets. Did have some trouble with the fender liner, and the template layout. It was a little tight getting the snorkel mounted. I could have shifted it toward the front bumper and up on the fender by a couple MM. Also, be patient and check twice the A pillar alignment. It was a little low, but I made it work.
I had no problem with the supplied rivets. I also installed the TRD cold air intake and I had an unexpected result, better fuel economy. I now get an extra 80 miles to the tank. Thanks for the videos
I can't do any installations without some Yota Xp Merch! Great video, just snagged a 21 Venture and my Pro Bumper kit is arriving tomm from you guys. looking forward to more orders, these are awesome and helpful for future projects!
Great video. I was just wondering about water getting in when driving during a rainy day. Is that something to be worried about? Is there some kind of pre-filter for this scenario?
How does the air raid intake affect the acoustics of the TRD intake? Any noticable performance gains at highway speeds with the higher airflow from the scoop?
The issue we had with the rivets was they weren't getting tight. After installing the rivets, the bracket still moved around. I believe we put m5x.08 rivnuts in it.
@Yota Xpedition thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if it was the rivet tool or the curve of the A pillar that caused the fitment issue. I'm installing this next week and I appreciate the video.
Your factory air box has a drain in the bottom for water to drip out of. There will be no issue with driving in the rain. If you want, you can turn the top backwards so it's not going into the rain.
I'm 100% sure. There's a possibility that it might be close but I'm sure some modification to the hole is going to be needed. Obviously, all the mounting holes will be different as well and your old ones might show.

Wow, 80 miles per tank is a huge improvement.
I'm waiting until rivbolts come with the kit instead of rivets themselves. Loose is a no go. Great video though!
Not sure if they are going to change what comes in the kit. you might just need to get the supplies yourself as we did.
Excellent presentation - in every respect. Thanks!
Thank you! We do our best!
Great installation video!!! So do you sell the fix for the A pillar mount as a kit ?
Thanks! We do not sell what we used on the A-pillar, sorry.
How is the Airaid customer service? How is the quality compared to Safari?

Thanks Lyle! We are working on merch, hopefully it's available soon. Thanks for the support!
Any concerns of rust from the A pillar holes? I'm surprised the instructions doesnt state to use any kind of sealant.
It honestly wouldn't be a bad idea to put some silicone on the bracket before installing.
@@yotaxpedition Yeah too late. I already installed it and thought of it afterwards. I suppose I could drill it out.
Can you please link the 2” alle studs? The one in the description isn’t working. Nice install btw.
Great video. I was just wondering about water getting in when driving during a rainy day. Is that something to be worried about? Is there some kind of pre-filter for this scenario?
There is a drain hole in the air box. So any water drops would just roll down to the air box and drain out or eventually evaporate.
Does air raid offer a Cyclone Filter For this unit 15:59
Not that I'm aware of
How does the air raid intake affect the acoustics of the TRD intake? Any noticable performance gains at highway speeds with the higher airflow from the scoop?
Nothing I can notice. I'm sure it helps though. And as for the acoustics, you can hear it more through the snorkel.
Where’s the link for the studs and screws?
In the description.
What if water enters the intake at the car wash or heavy rain? Is there a drain
Yes, your factory air box has a drain in it.
What was the issue with the rivets? And which size rivnuts did you end up using?
The issue we had with the rivets was they weren't getting tight. After installing the rivets, the bracket still moved around. I believe we put m5x.08 rivnuts in it.
@Yota Xpedition thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if it was the rivet tool or the curve of the A pillar that caused the fitment issue. I'm installing this next week and I appreciate the video.
For the riv nuts did kit come with bolts or did you have to buy m5 bolts separately
What do you do when it’s raining or do they have a precleaner available for this? Thanks

Hey man I love the video. I was wondering if you could change the snorkle top to a Sy-klone pre cleaner? Thank you!!
Im not sure if this would work because the Sy-klone is round at the base and the Airaid is oval.
@@yotaxpedition Do you think its possibe to fit it in using a pipe insulation tape??
How’s the noise level inside the cab from the snorkel?
Not much of a noticeable difference.
I currently have dobinson snorkel, will this work with the exisiting cutout hole?
I'm 100% sure. There's a possibility that it might be close but I'm sure some modification to the hole is going to be needed. Obviously, all the mounting holes will be different as well and your old ones might show.
Will the Sy-Klone upgrade work with this?
It will not. The shape of the snorkel at the top is an oval, not a circle.
@@yotaxpeditionthat's a deal breaker for me....
I m wondering that if u can reduce shipping from $127.97 to 50% off , that’s awesome! Please advice! Please respond! Thx so much
Sorry, we can't change shipping prices.
Whats the name of the first tool used that looks like an electric screwdriver but perpendicular… 😅
A drill? lol
@@yotaxpedition air ratchet
It’s very difficult to watch someone take a drill to the body of this beautiful 4Runner. Feels like some kind of ancient Chinese torture technique
Lol. Imagine being the one doing the drilling
