I used a combination of the solid plastic piece and a short piece of rubber and a heat gun. Even with a turbocharger sucking on it my hose doesn't collapse.

Now th solid piece. Is that part of the package or is that some old OEM part ? Reason why I am asking is. I have this snorkel waiting to be installed. And simply want to be 100% ready before I install it.

Old OEM part, but cut down and heated and glued onto the airbox.

I can't wait to buy one of these...just added it to my amazon cart.

I don't understand how your ditch brackets clear the snorkel. I'm in the process of installing the snorkel and it's hitting the brackets. FML

Is this still the right link? I seem to remember seeing something different when this thread first started? If so, is it a good price? https://www.amazon.com/Snorkel-Intak...ux+167+snorkel

That looks awesome. Thanks for posting. Now I know it can be done right.

I just ordered mine from Ebay, but they cancelled the order and refunded my payment due to the Typhoon flooding their warehouses and damaging their goods. I went ahead and ordered mine from amazon, we'll see if they come from the same warehouse...

Can you go through an auto car wash with this snorkel?

Hmmmm, I wouldn't recommend at all.

And personally, I avoided drilling holes into my pillar. I used double sided sticky, and a small zip tie from the snorkel head to the front led bar mounts.

Before installing the zip tie, eventually the double sided sticky was no longer sticky , probably after a good month. And I noticed a big dent on top of my door. My conclusion, the snorkel mount shifted down and pushed on the door when I was off roading. However, I'm happy that it didn't dent my pillar.

So, I would not take it through the car wash. Another thing is, you need be careful when off roading. Making sure you don't hit your snorkel.

And, if you have ditch light brackets like I. I personally don't know how others made it so the snorkel doesn't make contact with them. But for me. It touches. I guess, if you want to make the hilux snorkel fit AS BEST AS POSSIBLE. You sacrifice something else.

You gotta use VHB tape. Its stronger than the back of the emblems.

Never heard of VHB TAPE. I can snap some photos for you tomorrow and show you my set up.

Google it, they have different lengths & widths.

Here - 1" W x 15' L is $24, not cheap but it's the best double sided foam tape there is. And for outdoors.

Oh, yeah 3M DOUBLE SIDED TAPE. That's exactly what I am using. Held up great for month. But that's expected due to water, and mud.

LOL, it's VHB tape.
