05-07 Tacoma Snorkel Thread

I've already paid for both of them in other way, I'd fo go with your offer.
Anyway, I'm going to make pictures and will do a detail write-up on the install process for the 4th Gen. 4Runner.
BTW, do you have snorkels in stock or you're ordering them?

Every LC and common Toyota one in stock (ie. FJ40, 60, 80, 100, Taco, and FJC). I would have to order the SS135HF, however I get stock orders weekly, so never too long of a wait assuming they are in the country.

The reason I'm asking is that if you have SS125HF and SS186HF and can compare them, this will be very helpfull for me. I couldn't get SS186HF with 125 and 135, so I'd have both of them next week, but I'd realy like to campare all 3.

If someone wants to buy the SS135 (or SS125 if it turns out to be a better fit), I'll give it to them for a steal (below cost), assuming they are willing to do a detailed writeup with photos, etc.

OR

If someone is in the SLC area and is willing to let me install it, we will work out a similar deal (below cost). If you want to come install it here (or several of you), you buy the SS135 and I'll help you for free

I'm guessing tacodoc jumped on this, but if not... whats the cost? Id be more then willing to document the install with instructions and photos.

One problem I'll have is mating it up with the K&N intake (AEM Filter). It looks like I'd have to modify the K&N "box" or order the TRD intake (which I'm already considered doing). Id be hesitant on cutting the hole, I'd either have a local body shop do that or maybe run the truck over to DAP in Springfield, VT (they primarily work on Land Rovers, etc).

Snorkel Update

I am in mid write up and when I have finished the detailed "how to" with pics, we will have an install guide to rival anything on the Safari Snorkel website

I test drove it last night and with the complete watertight install there are no ECU issues, CEL's or other anomalies...

There is plenty of air as it is now a "forced intake" with the scoop on the snorkel vice the smallish "snout" on the stock intake that was drawing air from inside the fender.

I am very pleased with both the look of the the install and the functionality.

To prevent duplicate posts, the "How To" writeup for this install will be posted in my build thread.

Has anyone installed the Hilux 167 snorkel or a LC100 series snorkel? These are so much cheaper on Ebay and Amazon since the Hilux and LC are sold worldwide. Would a Prado 90 or Prado 120 snorkel fit?

When I did the research and finally the install. The SS135 was the best fit for the Tacoma. It even has the indentation for the antenna. Its as close as possible.

Id stick with the knowledge you have in front of you and not try and reinvent the wheel. Maybe buy from a supporting vendor who has knowledge like Kurt @ Cruiser Outfitters. Ebay and Amazon are great if you know exactly what you want to buy.
If you don't know the other models will fit it will be a waste of money.
This thread tells you what will work best.
