Safari Snorkel Installed (picks) (1 Viewer)

[Zane]

Well I had some fun last night drilling two very big holes in the side of a perfectly good finder on my 100 to install my safari snorkel. This is the second one I have put on and it never seems to get any easier in regards to the anxiety it puts you through! The end result is nice and any one considering doing it, my words of advice is to "Trust the template" and the rest is easy and quite fun when you think to yourself that you are drilling into a $57K truck!

Anyway, I wanted to share some pictures I took over lunch. I'm working on a new factory antenna to replace the original and will post up what I go with, so more to come on that.

Snorkels are cool, I just hate the ram on top. I'm going to get a pre-cleaner for mine to replace the ram when I get ready to cut holes in my 100

Very nice. Do you think I need one of those for the mall?

The malls in Colorado are pretty dusty and there are some wicked water puddles!

Having a snorkel before a winch - if that was my rig it would be a recipe for disaster.

Looks great.

snorkels arent only meant for water

They help with fuel mileage as well.

I have my winch sitting on my work bench, just have not had a chance to pull off my bumper and put it on. before my next wheeling trip the winch will be installed.

I started discussing the restrictions in the air cleaner piping and flow rates of air entering the engine with another forum member then wrote it up, then he went ahead and modified his (parts availability easy to him) and he has done a good job of it, go to his link (last post on second page) and check out the install pics at the bottom of his page.

Does the US V8 Airbox have that hiclown restriction? If yes, I would like to rip it out.
