drbandkgb "stan" build

I wish the DT were in the budget.. I do have a badly cracked Mani driverside But.. pricing will push me into stock again..

Do you have pics of how you did to raise up your ARB front bumper ?

 

[drbandkgb]

I dont..I have pulled it off this weekend..because I bought a new bumper..

I had to cut on it to make it work.. I have seen some weld a 3" block on top of the frame horns to lift it...

Took it wheeling at Woolys Off Road park this weekend..

Wow, looks great!

 

[drbandkgb]

Well after a few bad words and bloody knuckles I now have a snorkel

 

[adrenaline503]

Looks nice, in an evil sort of way.

Yeah that isn't exactly an easy install. One of the biggest hurdles was just making the initial cuts in the fender. Looks good though!

No one will ever accuse you of having a short snorkel.:coffeedrink:

Would have been better if they would have sent a templet.. I knew arb (Safari) used to sell there snorkels in the states but stopped due to fitment issues.. Some how 4x4parts still sells these..
They offer 2 types.. and this one was a bit cheaper. and I like the air flows down a straight tube too get to the air box.. The other brand stops halfway down the fender. and 90deg isn to the fender.. slowing air flow down.. A member on clubxterra installed one of these a couple weeks ago with some bad results.. after talking to 4x4parts.com about this issue, I didnt want to wait a few weeks to ship mine back and get the other brand.. By the way 4x4parts was great with emailing me on the situation..

Over all I like this one a lot.. Yes it is taller than most.. Cool thing is you do not see it at all in the drivers seat
