I think the safari snorkel will work through 88. They are through ARB.

Yup its an ARB product and i think they go somewhere in between 120$ and 150$

The snorkel will go right into an 86 with the 22RE. If you are installing an arb snorkel into a 88-89 generation 1 4runner with a 3.0, you have to be careful that the piece which connects to the body of the truck is not for a 2nd generation body style. I have heard that you must specify this to ARB when ordering so they will replace the 2nd generation part with one from the generation 1 22RE kit.

well that one is my buddies truck but when ive driven it I can only notice the snorkle outa the far reaches of my periferal vision and if it were to block anything it would have to be a leer jet about to take me out. so I would say no. no line of sight issuse at all less your worried about black helicopters and dive bombers.

the blocking of a frontal view was my only concern. thanks for the info

ya I dono where i pulled that number from other than my a$$ its about 260$ for one if you get a good deal. preformance products use to sell them for a buck twenty for my old fj60 so i think thats what I was thinking of but that was a while ago and a quick search found that they dont even sell snorkles anymore i think. (at least not over the web)
