It almost doesn't match 4 runner a pillar and fender. But on a bright side its 167$ CAD. and it may look better after i fill the gaps between fender and snorkel with rubber door seals from local hardware store.

This is how mine sits, i'm pretty happy with the way it came out. Like I said there are 3 options on snorkels that can work and none of them are a direct fit.
It aligned quite nice with the a pillar.

Did you had to use a heat gun at all ? Also did you notice looss of power at the top end? It feels like my truck lost some. But since I used a heat gun, i think that i squeeshed inner diameter of the pipe to the point that it created a partial restriction

Thanks for posting the install pics. Kudos for trying it out, but I'll be honest, it looks like it's been damaged. Is it just the camera angle or is the head really leaning over a lot?

I didn't use a heat gun at all, I actually thought of using it to straighten the head of the snorkel but kinda of grew on me. Lots of friends had issues with branches breaking there's except me so I left it that way.
Try pushing snorkel head bit harder so it wont have that incline.
Not at all, I'd does make intake sound alot better when I floor it.
Have somebody rev it and put your hand or a plastic bag over the snorkel head to see if there is suction.

Ok, so its not as bad as i thought initially.
To compensate for a different fender I got a door seal from amazon, also i bought 3,5 inch intermediate pipe and 90degree elbows instead of squeeshed piece that comes in a kit, also amazon, dirt cheap. Also if anyone get this kit, make sure that after gluing door seal between snorkel and fender you tighten bottom nuts first. Then it will align nicely.

Thank you!
But i will take it down again in a month or so when those silicone elbows show up. I think engine is choking on that intermediate pipe.

ok, seen now, you bought some other pieces from amazon to make it better.
gluing the door seal, you talked about, am a lil confused, so you had to glue something again, what type of glue did you use?
am about ordering a 95mm hole saw, so i can start the ops. any final tips you can give me?.
am putting mine for the looks, dont plan going into deep water that the stock air intake cant handle

So the rubber seal has a 3m sticky tape already. I glued that to seal around the base of a snorkel to stop water accessing drilled sections of a fender and to hide gap between fender and snorkel. Oh, don't use heat gun I tried and had to purchase another main pipe. Make sure that you align the pipe and mark where the bolt holes are gonna be and the main pipe hole.
What may happen, after bolting a snorkel, it will take few days before main pipe will start flexing/adjusting to fender and a-pillar curves, so I suggest to tighten snorkel just snug at first, drive few days, then tighten all the way for best fit. I didn't drill a pillar, just trimmed the black metal bracket and bolted it to snorkel pipe only and glued a piece of rubber seal between a bracket and a pillar to stop pipe rubbing on paint.
I hope all that makes sense

Safari now makes a vehicle specific snorkel for the 4th gens: V6= SS445HF and V8= SS440HF.
It's not worth the headache of adapting one to our trucks anymore.
