Lol. Actually, that was me and not the shop and I’m not a pro. I grew up with old cars so I totally forget about modern ignition systems. I meant the electronics under the hood.
Hey brother, I just did DIY snorkel installation and you were correct I was wrong if you use the holesaw you need to drill two holes and then connect them so my apology to you and Justin
No need to apologize at all. People will have legit questions and that’s valid. You are a brave man to tackle this project on your own so you deserve an extra “congratulations” for completing it. Also, the holesaw is more efficient and precise. Better than just cutting the entire hole with a straight blade.
@@FStewBailey my snorkel is Dobinson but I think they’re pretty much the same I believe there is always slight gap even properly installed but if you have a huge gap that means your bottom portion is not siting right ,I hope this answers your question
@@CoastalGX we were getn on the onramp from san benito and u were going around 90 mph. We caught up by Harlingen Bass Pro Shop then u did some maneuvers and zaaaaas u were gone!!
Thank you! I’m installing a Dobinsons dual swing out bumper tomorrow. I will upload that video in a week or two. It may be the only one out there for a GX460.
In reality it’s only about 1.6” of real additional clearance. Not much. But it has made a world of a difference at the beach. The front skid plate no longer plows the sand!
@@JackMcRoberts never. There’s just no way. I have it hand washed after I put in on ramps and personally clean out the tough stuff. I just got the saltshift thingy to wash out the inside of the frame so let’s see how that goes. I might make a video on that after a trip.
Hi there; No. They are already kind of high up. The most vulnerable breather is the rear diff. The others are way higher and are covered by other components. You can definitely relocate them, but I just don’t see a need personally.
There’s a couple of shots that show where we painted the holes, although now that I think about it, we did miss the little holes that support the top part of the snorkel! Thank you!!
@@CoastalGX I learned the lesson the hard way on my 98' XJ 😭 Way more effort to go back and fix it after it causes issues. Now I go wild and use paint and a thin layer of body seam sealer if possible. But I also live right next to the beach in FL. Humid + salt air is a killer
@@reddyuda I’m glad people share their experiences with me. We painted everything but didn’t do the small pinholes. The ocean mist and even the smallest amount of saltwater is brutal out here.
. love all of your content man. Nice mod ! I saw you on the corner of dove and jackson at the stop sign right before you took a right into the neighborhood by the school..silver 4runner here , i honked my horn and waved at ya .
Lol. I waved back as I was pulling away, but I was embarrassed cause I wasn’t sure if it was directed at me or not. If a 4Runner, Jeep, Land Cruiser, Tacoma, or pretty much any 4wd is hollering at me, I know it’s one of my likeminded people and I should be ok. 🤣
@@CoastalGX going with the Ironman snorkel as well. And as for the diff breather, I’m using an arb style breather from Amazon. I gotta catch up to you bro!
Cruiser Shooter I didn’t bother doing the two other breathers. I saw the ARB and the knockoff brand but I didn’t need the extra material and I read that the hose material was brittle plastic. The hose I used is more like a fuel line (rubber.)
@@CoastalGX yup. The brittle plastic is a pain, was gonna swap it out with fuel line. I have that set up on my 80 and wanted to see how the plastic held up. It’s been working out ok, but handling it is a pain.
Why did the dude "Justin "drill two holes and then connect them making a huge opening, One hole is just enough to slide in the plastic piece that connects to snorkel with the box any other video of this installation is always just one hole did he made a mistake so he had to drill twice?
Hi there. Are you referring to the pillar or the main fender hole? We followed the instructions and used the template that comes with the snorkel. I don’t know what other video you are referring to. Justin has installed dozens of snorkels with success. I and hundreds of people trust him with mods so I’m going to say he’s probably ok 🤣
Yes I am referring to the main whole I have seen it in person done and a few videos on TH-cam and I haven't seen 2 circle cuts and then connect to the way with cut in between;
Check the Chanel - lifestyle overland , also Few videos done on gx 470 and a lot of videos on 150 prados , I am sorry I just ordered my snorkel and reason I watch so many videos because I will install it myself so I want to see how is done and in your video it's the only video that I have seen 2 main holes , I am not judging Justin's expertise I just haven't seen one like that
@@project-LEXUS-BMW I understand, but we are quite possibly the ONLY video to show this much detail. Here is a direct link to the instructions. You will clearly see why it’s necessary to do it the way Justin did it. We just followed instructions. Thanks for watching and good luck on your project! store-pusehjx.mybigcommerce.com/content/ISNORKEL035%20IM.pdf
Hi brother I just did DIY snorkel installation and you were correct , I was wrong , if you using hole saw you need to drill 2 holes and then connect them so my apology to you and Dustin
It’s an optical illusion. The LED’s are not synched with the camera frame rate and it appears to have a strobe effect. It appears normal to the naked eye though.
dude really said distributor cap lmao real professionals

Question for you both as I am installing this same Ironman 4x4 snorkel on my 17 460. Does the gap between the A Pillar and the snorkel seem large?
@@FStewBailey my snorkel is Dobinson but I think they’re pretty much the same I believe there is always slight gap even properly installed but if you have a huge gap that means your bottom portion is not siting right ,I hope this answers your question
I'm pretty mechanical but these guys would save me time and comfort it's done right.. where is this shop?
It’s just north of the 2nd street and business 83 intersection in mcallen. Truck Toyz. Solid workmanship.
Great video Sandy look nice.
Thanks, Fabian!
U drive like a trooper!!! Ur lucky we pulling a boat!! Hahahahaah
What do you mean? Lol
@@CoastalGX we were getn on the onramp from san benito and u were going around 90 mph. We caught up by Harlingen Bass Pro Shop then u did some maneuvers and zaaaaas u were gone!!
@@CoastalGX looked like u were hauling butt to get to ur bathroom at home!! Hahahaa
killercop69 I loaned Sandy to my ugly ass twin brother. He was probably “turtling” from all the tbone he ate at mile 16!! 🤣🤣🤣
killercop69 were you driving a white taco with an orange boat?
Great video brotha
Thank you! I’m installing a Dobinsons dual swing out bumper tomorrow. I will upload that video in a week or two. It may be the only one out there for a GX460.
Sandy always looks tougher every time she leaves that shop.
Lol. My favorite shop to visit. 🎥🎬👍🏽
Nice install. I can’t bring myself to do it.
Neither could I!! That’s why I had Justin do it instead 🤣
That looks so cool primo! Guys did a great job on the install
Hey primo! Yes they did. It came out great. This shop does quality work.
So what about the front differential? Is there a breather there also?
Yes, there is; but it’s high up there already. I’m sure it can be extended even further if need be. We just didn’t see a need.
Love your build! How many inches of lift are you running, along with wheel and tire size!
In reality it’s only about 1.6” of real additional clearance. Not much. But it has made a world of a difference at the beach. The front skid plate no longer plows the sand!
@@CoastalGX sounds good to me. Did you fit 33s or did you go with something smaller?
@@MasonWebster it’s closer to 34”. I got a body mount chop and have become tired of cutting the inner fender liner lol.
@@CoastalGX love the way it looks. Do you daily drive your rig? Or do you have something else haha
@@MasonWebster My office is less than a mile away from my house so I drive it everyday. Sold my other cars. So just my truck and wifey's Honda. lol.
Thanks for shoutout 😎
You know it!!
Robert great owner you really take care Sandy congratulations 🍾🎈🎊🎉 God bless you and your family and friends
Thank you, Juan! I want to keep her for a long time, so I need to care for her.
Love how far sand has gone and it’s not a pavement Princess
Thanks Liam. I want her to do well both on and offroad.
@@CoastalGX ya she looks so pretty
Thought hopefully I can see it on the island
Another great video! I'm watching it again! Keep the videos coming!👍👏👏👏
Thank you!!! More to come for sure.
Love It!!! Sandy Looks Way More Killler Now!!
Thanks primo!!
2 years later... was the snorkel worth it?
I don’t drive much on dusty roads, so no, it hasn’t been a “necessary” mod at all for me. The quality is good and the install was solid.
lastly, do you take it through the car wash?@@CoastalGX
@@JackMcRoberts never. There’s just no way. I have it hand washed after I put in on ramps and personally clean out the tough stuff. I just got the saltshift thingy to wash out the inside of the frame so let’s see how that goes. I might make a video on that after a trip.
okay good to know!@@CoastalGX
Looks good man when can we link up and the cut or access 6
Soon, I hope. I’ve been talking to some people about a beach cleanup and then camping/fishing. I will post up.
@@CoastalGX sounds good brother let me know we’re grabbing our camping stuff over the next couple of days and will be ready
Great video as always 👍
Thanks brother! More mods coming in a few weeks.
What wheels and tires are you on? What suspension? Love the fitment!
I have 285/75/r17’s on Method wheels. The tires are BFG K02’s (10ply.) thank you!
We drove in vehicles with snorkels back in the day when we were cuttin timber in the Serengeti!
And now it’s a desert!!! Lol
Did you relocate the breather for the transmission and front differential?
Hi there; No. They are already kind of high up. The most vulnerable breather is the rear diff. The others are way higher and are covered by other components. You can definitely relocate them, but I just don’t see a need personally.
Yo, you gotta go back and paint all that metal that you cut. Even if you are in cali it will still rust with rain and going through the carwash
There’s a couple of shots that show where we painted the holes, although now that I think about it, we did miss the little holes that support the top part of the snorkel! Thank you!!
@@CoastalGX I learned the lesson the hard way on my 98' XJ 😭

I put the breather in my tacoma behind the tail light to keep it outta my way. I’m not brave enough to cut up for the snorkel though lol

How do you get your high beams to flash/strobe like I've seen in your other vids?
It’s an optical illusion. The LED’s are not synched with the camera frame rate and it appears to have a strobe effect. It appears normal to the naked eye though.
Was up man. Looks great man. Where are the fishing videos man.
Soon, I hope! Lol
Lorenzo did a great job recording did u pay him 😆😆😆
Es bien carete so I had to pay him in taquitos al pastor and a michelada 🤣

Gracias! 🎥🎬👍🏽
