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.
 
I have it on good authority that everything I add to my 4 Runner increases the horsepower. 20HP snorkel, 1HP per sticker, 500HP per patch. lolz :flamethrwoer2:

But seriously this is awesome! Great job! :thumb3::cheers:

Sitting in my garage waiting for install, might be a couple weeks before I can get to it but I'm excited. :party:

I love the looks of it, but I can't think of one time I've ever been deep enough to require one..LOL.

BUT YES, I WANTS!
 
This is bad ass...what’s the fix when driving in snow? Can the mouth portion be turned around to face backwards? Are you guys using 3M double sided tape for the A pillar?

Post number 45 in this thread to answer your first two questions.

Number 25&26 for your third question...

Not just for deep water. Raising the air intake from up behind the fender to up at the top of the windshield brings in cleaner and cooler air. This can help keep your air filter cleaner during regular driving, since dust/dirt stays closer to the road.

You just sold me completely. It will probably be late August before I have the disposable income to buy the kit, but mark me down. Thanks!

Just installed one on my 2010 TE and the head is held on with a clamp that you can loosen the just flip around if its super wet heavy snow.

I also used 3M tape for the a pillar because I was sick of drilling into my truck and everyone else said it held. And its solid as shit. And looks cool. And doesnt make noise. Any cut my forearm up trying to get it installed. Lol its a SOB to install, but so far so good.
 
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?

I recently sawed off parts of the front fascia for the “high clearance” look to accomoday a wide wheelset. It took me a day to gather my nerve but ad soon as the saw bit in, I felt LIBERATED!!

Suck it up buttercup!
