I got one off of amazon this morning, price went up to 150. They were in stock yesterday morning, but when I went to buy it after dinner, it was out of stock. When I saw them available this morning I bought it quick. Shipping is supposed to take a month to a month and a half, it must be on the slow boat over here. I have plenty of projects on the meantime.

How do you find a wife like that
I honestly don't know, I just got lucky. I married up for sure. She also insisted we needed a fridge, so we got that. She also says we need black wheels, and black emblems. I told her we can get new wheels when these tires wear out, and to look up on you-tube how to plasti-dip the emblems, so she can do it herself. I'm going to surprise her with the snorkel. How romantic of me.
 
Bummer. eBay says it doesn't fit my 99

Thank god I don't have to spend that $139 now:D

What is the included tube that attaches to the stock intake made out of? Is there a possibility of it collapsing under boost from a supercharger? I purchased a different snorkel that had this problem reported so I didnt install mine.

Not really sure what you're asking here... everything before the supercharger doesn't produce boost only vacuum.
 
So what is the verdict on the power antenna? I feel like I've seen mixed reports... Are people getting the snorkel installed while keeping the power antenna?

Sorry misspoke, yes the vacuum that it creates would collapse the rubber tube connecting to the stock plastic intake and the engine would cut out on high boost. People running with NA would not experience this. I'm curious if this is the case with this snorkel.

Anyone running a supercharger with this snorkel?

I put a switch on my power antenna and haven't put it up in over a year. Living in a big city or driving in an area with plenty of radio waves the diversity antenna in the passenger rear window is enough, out in the sticks however, I have had to raise the antenna to listen to the radio but who even listens to the radio anymore?

That snorkel is down to $131.51 on eBay today

It will fit but it's more trouble than what it's worth. You will definitely have to take the fender off to make it work, which isn't absolutely required for just the snorkel install (makes it easier though).

I just did the Tacoma Whip to reduce the amount of fighting to make it work. I like the look of the stubby antenna as well. Unlike this current generation, I actually use my radio lol.
 
Anyone have photos of this snorkel on with no fender flares ?

I have the ARB one, but if you are looking for a visual, this should do.

Question:

What ditch light brackets are you guys using that clear the snorkel?

It isn't just for water - it really is for dust. Having the air intake that high up keeps the air filter cleaner for much longer. Right now, your air intake is right above the tire!
