So I let my wife drive almost the entire trail today for some fun/experience , told her she needs to wash it, she doesn't agree....
 
Noob question. But with your turbo set up you can't do any water crossing that will go higher then the filter, right ?
 
not till we make a snorkel for his rig. :) look at his other thread and you will see him do a water crossing. The water is still about 6-7" form his turbo.
 
Got the exhaust after the turbo done today, just need a plasma cutter to cut an oval in the bumper. Wont get smashed on rocks up there anymore, need to build a real bumper still.

Not a brain surgeon or work for NASA man, 17 years of experience working on cars, comes down to basic tools and an understanding of a peice of machinery. Thanks.
 
Have come to the conclusion that there just isn't enough room underneath for a safe place for the intake because the truck sees lots of water/mud. If it was a taco I would drill a hole in the bed, but I'm not putting the intake inside the 4runner and not drilling holes in the body.

So looking for ideas, suggestions, thoughts, placement, materials?

Maybe something like one of these, idk.

What's up CM,

I would look towards option 3 or 4, strictly from a perspective of design and placement. Both are similar to other like-kind snorkles already on the market.

IMO, option 4 is the most direct route from where the exhaust currently exits the undercarriage. Further to answer your concerns for resale, it would be most familar to buyers as opposed to option 3 which cuts through the body enroute to the roof.

Either way, unless you get creative which would more than likely involve cutting into the body. I see the above mention options as the most direct solution to water, snow and slush this winter.

Hope this helps, good luck with your choice.

i think you should do a twin loop turbo system and just pipe the exhaust back into the intake again since its right there already ;)
