Update: Project Dante’s Peak
A little over a year ago I picked up a snorkel for an FJ 80 which is the closest fit to use on a suburban. I never got around to actually mounting it and placed it somewhere in my shed. I was recently cleaning my shed and came across the snorkel, so I though it was time to finally tackle ‘project Dante’s Peak’.
Today I finished mounting the Safari snorkel. It was a lot of work especially since I had to bend it a little to make it fit my suburban. I first tried using a heat gun to be able to bend the plastic but this did not work so I held the snorkel close to my woodstove and was eventually able to get it to fit my truck.
There is a pretty good write up on pirate4x4 that covers all the steps of installing it:

I still have to hook up the hoses to the air intake and in order to do that I also have to relocate my coolant reservoir so it’s not all finished yet but here is what it looks like now.
Sorry for the bad quality cell-phone picture, I will try and take some better ones tomorrow.
