Tell you what... You ship a 4th gen to Queensland, Australia, and we'll make the snorkel and give you the first one for free...

The biggest thing holding me back on getting a snorkel is cutting a huge hole in the fender. I'm not planning on ever reverting my vehicle back to stock, but doing something so irreversible is making it hard to bite the bullet. You say you can replace the fender, but how extensive of a job is that? I found one here at a reasonable price, but does replacing the fender require cutting off the old and then welding the new one on?

Do it!!! Why would anyone sell their rig anyway? Even if you do sell, there will be buyers who want the snorkel. Buying and painting a new fender is not a big deal at all.

Is it bolt on or cut and weld on?

Bolts on, just like the hood, grille, bumper, etc. It's considered a crash part. But yeah, once you put it on, pretty much no one will ever take it off.

FWIW, ARB doesn't manufacture the snorkel, they distribute the SAFARI brand. So I've been told...

Hows the snorkel perform in heavy rain or snow storm?
I drive in snow storm quite often during winter time. Will the snow block the opening of the snorkel?

In heavy/wet snow, yes it can build up on the head. Just loosen the clamp and turn it around. In all other driving, it should face forward.

We installed 2 on 2nd gen tacos last night and plan on doing a 5th gen t4r this weekend. What size hole saw was used to make the 2 holes for the intake?
The one we picked up for the tacos looked too big.
