What you need, One Safari Snorkel Head, Two 45 Degree angle PVC Adapters, 1 90 Degree PVC Adapter, One 6ft length of pipe, Grinder, Sawsall, Welder, Steel, Caulking


Here is what I have put together so Far for my Custom Snorkel Installation
More pics to follow as they come


First off you need to buy the Safari Snorkel Head, You can buy JUST the head for $80 Canadian. (Pricey I Know But its what makes the snorkel look good. and not a TOTAL Ghetto hack job)


After you take off your Fender, you will notice there is already a hole in the Frame leading to the air box, all you need to do is enlarge it a bit to fit both a 2" PVC Pipe and the Wire loom.

Cut a hole in the air box and fit the Pipe into the box

In to Air Box

Next mock the pipe up where you would like it, You will need to cut the outter part of the fender and weld a plate in. for strength.

Heres the mock up of how the pipe will Run. THIS IS THE MOCK UP. you need to bend the pipe in order to get the fender lining back on.

Here is How I bent the PVC Pipe. I heated up the plastic with a torch, (Just keep turning the pipe, and bend it over an old rim.

Okay and here's the finished product.

I still need to bend the top a Tiny bit more. But Im fairly happy with it.

I Used a peice of interiour trim to cover the hole in the fender around the pipe

I remember seeing this writeup (http://www.off-road.com/toyota/rockrunner/modifications/snorkel/snorkel.html) back in 1997 or 1998. I'm pretty sure Allen had done it around 1995.

Nice work though on saving some $$.

Hood guard. this neck of the world we wheel in forest's lots of branches and scratches. Its Phase one of the hood guard build, It will eventually tie into some rock rails and down to the sliders, (AFTER I build a new Tube bumper.)

The Old H1's had this setup. ANd some Bling H2's
