I partnered with LXPlore to get answers to my top 7 questions before installing a Safari snorkel.

I have always admired the look of Safari snorkels on 100 series trucks, and I find myself dabbling in water crossings whenever I can find one. However, I am also reticent when it comes to upgrades because they always change your truck and usually come with pros and cons. So I wanted to talk to an expert, someone who has experience with a snorkel, and I reached out to John who drives a similar Lexus LX470 as mine.

The top 7 questions I had before buying a snorkel were...and if you just want to jump right to the answer, just click the time stamp and it should take you there.

1. Can I drive through a car wash with a vehicle snorkel? 1:23
2. Do car snorkels produce excessive wind noise? 2:46
3. Does a car snorkel impact fuel economy? 3:25
4. What is the vehicle snorkel installation like? 3:46
5. Do you have any regrets after installing your car snorkel? 4:34
6. What's the visibility like with a car snorkel? 7:14
7. Can you drive in the rain with a vehicle snorkel? 7:55

Big thanks to John from LXPlore. And if you're curious, I ended up buying a Safari snorkel. When I first got it, I was like oh crap, what did I do, but that wore off after a day or so and now I love having funny conversations with people who have no idea what it is.
