Update

Sorry to all about my lack of responses, I'm working on it...

What I've come up with for the mirror is a slip joint so you can release teh mirror and remove it, since you lose the fold feature with the snorkle, details to follow. Under the hood I'm just using some 2 1/2 inch aluminum flex, which is temporary, until some stainless flex arrives. I'm leaving my airbox stock, and planning to turbo the truck, once that is done, I'll hard pipe the intake.

I'm looking at slip joints in the upper tube so you can lower the snorkle when you lower the windshield, this will be an option for the snorkle.

All I can ask for is some patience, I have 1000 things on the go, the shop that did my bending is in a summer shutdown, and I'm getting to this when I can. I just had no idea of the positive responses I would get.

I would be interested in a LH one. If you could send me a pm when you get this pinned down.

thanks,

I'm very interested in one for a RHD troopy with a 2f. I like the ARB top as well and would like the black powdercoated look. Please PM me whenever you get set on the price.

Thanks,

Stephen

Ok, so sorry for the long delay...I'm buildinga house etc, and snorkles were on the back burner. I'm finally getting around to making a run of snorkles. I'm contacting my bender next week, and will go from there. I will be going thru my PMs and posts here to contact anyone that was interested,

I'm interested in a LHD model with ARB top.

 

[mano002]

I am also interested, cost dependent

 

[Back40]

I too am very interested. I came very close to buying the safari and your design just blows it out of the water.... no pun intended.

 

[bj40man]

Im interested too!! I would be interested on a left hand side one. Let me know of the details please.

 

[amaurer]

Ditto for me as well; I was going to do the same thing myself, but hell if you've already done the work...

I'd need it on the left side for RHD, however...

 

[Zekester]

It's a go

Ok, things are a go, my tube supplier is set up to do a run, I'm just in talks with a supplier of the top hats. I will be contacting all those interested via e-mail, I will make 10% over to cover any late calls, and go from there. If any of you have expressed an interest, and do not here from me by Oct. 23/07 PM me here.

 

[amaurer]

I'd like to see some pricing info before you start bending tube, please.

Also, I don't actually need the top (have an old one), so if you could break it down by piece, that'd be sweet.

 

[Zekester]

anyone that is interested will be getting a message, I'm almost at the point of each tube being custom, top/no top/, finished/unfinished/, lhd/rhd...


I will provide pricing to cover, then adjust and inform everyone of exact costs prior to bending tube.

Sweet product. Now if we could only get something like this goin on for the 80 series... Something where the lower horizontal tube runs inside the fender. Similar to this:

Mszekely, you have an 80 series handy? Make a run of 80 series snorkles...
