    Aftermarket Stereo

    Though I’m replying to this post that is over a decade old, it still came in handy when I replaced the original HU in my 2010 w/out Navi. Installed a Pioneer DMH-WC5700 and Maestro RR with all the iDatalink harnesses. Even though iDatalink doesn’t say it supports the backup cam into the HU, I...

    Dobinsons 5th Gen 4Runner Snorkel

    Signal I'm sorry to hear of your frustration of installing the snorkel on your truck. Hopefully you get it fitted properly after drilling out the additional 3 holes to make everything line up. Best of luck!

    I hope the humidity and heat where you live doesn't affect it long-term. :op

    I installed it Dec 2019. So almost 1.5 years.. I used this type of tape: Amazon.com: 3M Super Strength Molding Tape, 03609, 1/2 in x 5 ft: Garden & Outdoor

    Signal I used something similar to the heavy duty mounting tape (1st link) for mounting the upper snorkel bracket to my pillar. No issues so far and hasn't budged since.

    Great job on the snorkel install!

    My template was spot on. Just be sure to measure 3 times, "test" fit by placing snorkel with threaded rods in the slots and aligning to the template before cutting. Another way could be to use lipstick or nail polish on the threaded rods and transfer it to the template that's already on the...

    I'm sure you'll enjoy the snorkel immensely if/when you get and install it. I'll note that after I instaleld the snorkel, I added a bead of black silicone to fill the top portion of the gap between the snorkel and fender. Hopefully it'll reduce the amount of water and dirt that gets into that area.

    Dobinsons 5th Gen 4Runner Snorkel

    I've had mine installed for about 11 months and drove about 11k kms (~ 7000 miles) so far. I'd say there hasn't been any visible UV damage or fading to the unit so far. In terms of handling wet conditions, mine's been good so far considering I live in Vancouver and it's awfully wet in the winter...

    Dobinsons 5th Gen 4Runner Snorkel

    When I installed the snorkel, the Dobsinson supplied hose was a very snug fit onto the stock intake hole. Took a little bit of effort to get it on. If the intake on a CAI has the same outside diameter (or slightly smaller) as the stock, it should fit fine. Definitely worth the extra time to...

    Crikeymike will there be a Black Friday sale on the snorkels coming up?

    Great to see the snorkel on a 2010. I had wondered if the antennae on it would get in the way of the install as I have the same year model.

    Vivid Racing ECU flash tune. Any detail?

    I also have a few ext. mods that create extra drag on my truck. At the end of the day, each person's experience will be different with the tune. Just putting in my 2 cents here to help you make a decision

    Vivid Racing ECU flash tune. Any detail?

    I did the tune in Feb on my 2010 SR5. So far it's been a good improvement over the stock in terms of better use of the gearing at highway speed. Pedal response is about the same. The most notable change is my truck isn't hunting as much between 3rd and 5th gear on the highway going up a slight...
