Dobinsons 5th Gen 4Runner Snorkel
Hey Guys. A lot of you know that we have been working on snorkel R&D for 5th Gen 4Runners, as well as 2nd and 3rd Gen Tacomas for the past 2 years. We finally have them arriving by the end of this month (November 2018), so now it's time to make the announcement to everyone.
Link to order: Dobinsons 4x4 Snorkel Kit for Toyota 4Runner 5th Gen 2010-2020 4.0L V6 - Exit Offroad
@ Team4runner
has been running our first off-tool sample since Spring this year with out any issues. Check out his most recent photo here: TEAM4RUNNER on Instagram: “Our @team4rpro 4Runner getting in some Colorado trail time before snow hit! - Who’s ready for winter!? ••• Join the Team4Runner community!…”
We did our best to keep the snorkel as close to the body as possible without reducing the airflow, and also keeping our classic snorkel head on the top to keep wind noise down. We are also super happy to offer these at really great pricing to start with.
Common FAQ's:
1. Yes, you have to drill several holes and one large hole for the snorkel to mount, but the good news is, if you ever decide to remove it, you can buy a new fender and patch the holes on the A-pillar for the supporting bracket.
2. Yes, it's made in China.
3. Yes, it's upwards of half the price of the current market offerings.
4. Yes, Dobinsons does make snorkels and have been for about 12 years now, but to date it's been mostly for Land Cruisers and international vehicles not sold in the USA.
5. No, a snorkel does not increase your horsepower. It can keep your air filter cleaner though, since dust has weight and stays closer to the ground, so using a raised air intake generally brings in less dust/dirt.
6. Yes, it does require the original non-TRD airbox and OE sized filter (you can use a performance filter if you want).
7. No, it does not come with it's own air filter. It just raises the point at which the air intake comes into the air box, and the further away from the ground/road, the cleaner and cooler it gets.

Always nice to see more options ( we begged for a snorkel for years and now we have more options than you can shake a stick at!). Looks a lot like the ARB at a more attractive price .

Hahaha, that's why I put up the photos so people could see the holes it takes. It looks great though once you cover up the holes with the snorkel!! hahaha

I have no problem cutting body. There is always a way to reverse the process with a new part, or some body filler and paint.

Just tell her it's not even Thanksgiving yet, and she shouldn't start Christmas shopping until December 20th at the earliest...
