Did It Myself Snorkle

[The Lovely Boyo]

Hello

Pic 1 Take a pipe off a 2.5 TD truck.

Pic 2 Take off the wing, chain drill and cold chisel a hole in the inner wing.

Pic 3 Close up of the new holey wing

Pic 4 Modify the new pipe and existing air intake pipe

Pic 5 Different view of the new pipe

Pic 6 Wing back on with 2.5'' drain pipe in position (cutting the wing was FUN)

Pic 7 Plastic flange and grill attached (just mastiked on for now)

Pic 8 Side view showing height of grill


The grill pops off leaving the plastic flange attached to the wing - I will connect the extension pipe to this.
I haven't made a extension pipe yet - this will allow deeper wading - I'll keep it in the boot when not being used. I might fit a scoop to the wing.

that is cool! cant wait to cut up my truck! do you mind it i 'borrow' your design?

still gotta fit that intercooler! after doing that the snorkle will be the next the next fun job!

[smiffy]

Nice work.

What ever next? A rear bumper?

[Apache]

That grille though... you'll have the Corsachavs fitting speakers in their wings!

Nice work.

Ahem - yes some body armour coming soon.

I ripped off someone else's design so carry on.

Anyway, copying is plagiarism, taking two or more sources is research! Which is wot i done.

Woodzie and Blizzard have both been 'sourced'. Thanks guys.

Yeah - I could fit a large boom box on the roof............. now there's a thought

Nice job Andy, are you fixing a bit to go up the pillar as well? for the deeeep puddles

[Mike Fraser]

Looks good but would I be wrong in suggesting a strengthening plate around the hole in the inner wing? I'm sure I've seen a commercial item with such a plate as part of the kit.

Nice job Andy, are you fixing a bit to go up the pillar as well? for the deeeep puddles

I'm going to make up a small 'chimney' pipe! About 12'' tall and flanged at the base - pop off the grill and attach said chimney et voila

The Safari snorkles have a plate as part of the kit - I'll keep an eye on it and if I see it cracking I'll fit something.

Your thread was made a favourite - I tend to ponder/research/obsess/think about it and then go for it. Cheers

If that's multiple choice, I'd say obsess. Nice job.

That was quick mine took about six weeks .......It was a case of find the problem then come up with a solution

Hi Matt

So when you gonna cut yours then???????

Taking the wing off is easy enough - all bolted - good old Toyota!

Lining up the wing to cut the hole after fitting the pipes is a real buttock clenching moment

Hey Woodzie - I started fitting air to my truck 6 months ago - tripped over the receiver in the garage today - that's my next project............
