I think I am being ripped off. I am getting a snorkel fitted to my BT50 next week and have been quoted 3 hours to fit it. This bloke did it in 7 minutes!
I'd be interested to know how long it actually too. I got quoted 3 hours =$450 from a business, dont know anyone that earns $150hr. Doing it myself = $0
Nice video but I have a few questions. Does this replace the existing air intake system or is it an add on to increase air flow? Does it help the vehicle In every terrain and climate? If so which ones is it bad in?
Hi Dylan! The SS188HFG Toyota Prado 150 Series 4x4 Snorkel is designed to deliver a huge volume of the coolest and cleanest air possible into the stock air cleaner assembly of 06/2015 Onwards 2.8L Diesel 1GD-FTV engines. With the huge air flow demands of each engine in the Toyota 06/2015 Onwards 2.8L Diesel 1GD-FTV Prado 150 Series, Safari took the decision to design a snorkel system that raised the air intake to prevent ingesting harmful elements to the vehicles air cleaner. Huge air flow is but one aspect of the ultimate in snorkel Toyota Prado 150 Series design. The Safari snorkel air ram is designed to perform two very important roles. The most obvious is to funnel cool clean air into the snorkel body - but just as importantly, the Safari air ram acts as a highly efficient water separator to remove rain water from the incoming air stream - thus ensuring safe engine operation through even the most torrential tropical storms. The genuine Safari Toyota Prado 150 Series 4x4 Snorkel body and air ram is manufactured to the highest standards in durable, UV stable, cross linked polyethylene material. In addition, the substantial material wall thickness delivers huge physical strength to ensure that the Toyota Prado 150 Series snorkel breezes through the toughest off-road conditions on the planet.

the only issue i saw there was not blowing away the filings from the area before running a rag over it. Surely if there were any particles left it may scratch the paint ?
+Vas Retsas Hey Vas, Glad you enjoyed the video. The installation required a primer, then a coat of touch up paint and finally a coat of rust proofing liquid. All the best, The Drivetech 4x4 team.
oh that's awesome! just wondering if you install Snorkels for Subaru Forester? I have taken it to many places off road as I live in Sydney but unable to do some water crossings as it is too deep and would be interested in installing a snorkel I have the '13 model

I still don't get with which part is snorkel fitted? Is it fitted with air filter compartment? I wanted to know if I could fit 2011-2014 ford ranger like snorkel (kind of straight) in 2009-2015 ford everest? I know there are different "L" shape snorkel for everest and also everest uses left side snorkel while ranger has right side
+The4x4offroader Safari Snorkels are vehicle specific and as the Ford Everest has only just been released in Australia a Safari Snorkel has not been released for that model yet.
Hi. Awesome job! I want to put a Safari Snorkel onto my 2015 Mitsubishi Pajero NX. The right snorkel for my car should be the SS41HF model. My local dealer told me that it won't be possible to fit the snorkel to my car due to the new designed washer tank unit. My car has a headlight washer system and because of that two pumps installed to the tank. Before 2015 a new tank that replaced the stock one made the snorkel fitment possible. 1) that replace tank is extremely small and holds only a little water. 2) that replace tank does not work with the headlight washer system. As I understood only a little part of the original tank is in the way and is responsible for that the Safari snorkel doesn't fit. But that little part of the original tank is the part to which the upper pump for the headlight washer system is connected. Do you have any experience with fitting a Safari Snorkel to newer Pajero models? Is there a way to for example cut the original tank a little bit and cut out that little part, that's in the way, put the headlight washer pump to another position and plastic weld everything again? I really would like to keep most part of the original tank, because it's quite big and I'd like to keep the headlight washer system available. Thanks ahead for your answer! Cheers!
Hi Christian, Unfortunately is it not a straight forward solution. The Safari website states that, for the install of the Safari Snorkel Part Number SS41HF in the VR-X, Exceed & Platinum, you will require additional washer bottle. We believe that people have used the supplied water bottle for the windscreen washer and purchase a second aftermarket washer bottle for the headlights. For the best advise, specific to your vehicle, we would advise that you contact a Drivetech 4x4 Authorised Stockist.

Hi Saeed, Thanks for your enquiry Unfortunately Safari do not make a Snorkel to suit the Wingle 6 at this time. Here is a link to compatible models - www.safari4x4.com.au/recreational/aus-nz/safari-snorkel
Hi Chris. Thanks for your question. This particular Snorkel has a recommended fitting time of 150 minutes. However this can vary depending on the installer and also varies model to model. Cheers Drivetech 4x4.

I’d like this guy to install a snorkel on my BT50 I like his work ethic
Hey Craig. The install was done at Bars N Racks in Hornsby NSW.
He doesn’t hang about does he ! If his labour rate is $100 per hour that job should cost about $10.

Interesting to watch. What were the 2 liquids you painted over the bare holes drilled into the guard?

Hi there! Unfortunately Safari do not make a snorkel for the Forester.
Will this snorkel fit on a 2013 Lexus GX 460?
Hi there,
This model of vehicle is not available in Australia and Safari have no listing for a suitable snorkel.
All the best.
