OEM Toyota snorkel for 100 series? (1 Viewer)

[CBdeJ]

Is there an OEM snorkel for the 100 series and if so does anyone have the part numbers associated with it? I seem to remember Cruiserparts selling front fenders that we’re factory drilled/cut for the factory snorkel but I can’t find any current info.

cheers,
Chris

By the time I fix my mistakes it will probably be cheaper to buy OEM. Plus, I don’t have a garage, most of the tools nor the time to DYI every project. So if I can find bits that make for a one banana job; I’m all for it.

Here is the of picture OEM snorkel on my 2005 Land Cruiser 105. Part number for the snorkel is 53299-60170 and part number for the air cleaner head on the top of snorkel is 17730-17020.

But keep in mind there is a whole assembly behind the fender for the snorkel to function properly. You can't just buy snorkel and air precleaner and slap it on the fender.

The "Safari Snorkel" is a popular Australian choice for LC100, probably more common than OEM. The complete kit and instructions (including for fender cutout) are sold by ARB here and in USA.

There is an OEM snorkel option for diesel in GCC countries - Air cleaner for Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ100L - Auto parts - https://toyota-general.epc-data.com/land_cruiser/hdj100l/8901/engine/1703/?full
About ~$250 for the snorkel, internal tubing, bits and pieces and the cleaner on top.
I was not able to find it in any of the petrol complectations.

The OEM " Snorkel " isn't sealed so not suitable for deep water crossings but more suited for dusty roads as a " Raised Intake " Safari have recently released the ARMAX which is a true 4" snorkel

Just go with one from Amazon. Mine was $80 and not too difficult to install.

Yes there is a Toyota OEM passenger front fender with the snorkel cutout and is primered flat black and ready to paint. I want to say Toyota of San Diego had originally quoted $685 (out the door) for the factory fender cutout for the snorkel, the snorkel assembly, painted to match my cruiser, installed and included a free oil change, tire rotation and loaner car.

That sounds like a damn good deal

Suggest do whatever works best for you and your vehicle and its purpose. Suggest buy a good quality snorkel from wherever you can get a good price for a respected design and brand.

There are many, many snorkels adorning 4WD vehicles in Australia, especially Land Cruiser variants.

Selection depends on the purpose of the vehicle.

Those who want to avoid drowning an engine midstream in an accidental or deliberate deepwater crossing are fastidious about airtight connections through to the airbox/aircleaner/air intake. Airtight because that also means watertight.

Some folks are improving air induction to the engine with large diameter snorkels such as the impressive 4 inch Safari ARMAX unit – although this requires a lot of work to fit properly.

Be wary about claims of the advantages of the so-called intake air ram effect -- it is tiny compared to the draw (suction) of a hungry engine. However, larger pipe sizes -- intake and exhaust -- mean less flow resistance.

Others also are very particular about avoiding engine-destroying dust ingestion and add a precleaner at the top of the tube at cabin roof height -- Air Intake Pre-Cleaners | Donaldson Engine & Vehicle - https://www.donaldson.com/en-au/engine/filters/products/air-intake/accessories/pre-cleaners/ and

.

This means a proper precleaner unit, not simply some kind of “sock” with or without oil impregnation. The "socks" and similar filters have very mixed reviews. “Dusting” has become a recent concern at the lid on the rectangular airbox on some newer Land Cruisers, most notably 200 series turbodiesel engines and for which careful sealing is a big deal. The lid on the round airbox on the 1HD-FTE engine seems to seal better – presume 2UZ-FE is similar -- but it is still worthwhile to check.

There is plenty of fitting guidance on Youtube as well as the instructions for “Safari” associated with ARB and the “Airtec” snorkels associated with TJM, plus snorkels from other reputable suppliers in USA. Toyota OEM snorkels often are seen in Australia on some commercial Land Cruiser variants but are not common as after-market choices. Be wary of low quality fakes and note the comment by @JROBBZ at Post #10.

Removing or replacing a fender to fit a snorkel is very rare except for some specialised upgrades of air intake systems. Most people find that the fitting instructions for quality snorkels come with stick-on templates which are sufficient to help position drill-holes and cut-outs without mistakes. Golden Rule: “Measure and check twice (maybe three times!), drill and cut once”. A Right Hand Drive example of fitting instructions for 100 series is attached – not sure if there are any differences for Left Hand Drive.

This 200 series video shows good technique around the fender but there are obvious differences to 100 series, especially around the airbox.
