It could be the angle but it looks really "fat" to me. Like it petrudes out really far from the fender. I don't know why they didn't make it thinner like on the prado or the 100 series LC

That's just the 3d printed one that is painted black. They will make a few tweeks to it and then make the molds to start producing them. Let's hope the production models are not quite that thick.

The good news is, I am done importing 5th gen snorkels just as the ocean freight doubles.

Looking at the side mirror it doesn't look that different than the Prado, probably the angle makes it look that fat.
 
Got my truck back a few hours ago after I flew in from Vegas. I'm too tired to take and post up pics tonight. I'll take lots of pics and post them up tomorrow. My apologies for the further delay.

To the guy asking about the 4th gen. I saw a white 4th gen. Wish I had taken a pic of it but I was dropping the loaner JK and had to rush to take my flight. When I picked up my truck I did not see it there. I believe it belonged to one of the ARB guys. Maybe post up on their Facebook and see if they have any pics. It looked nearly identical to my unit.

if it ends up being that fat i still might just buy the 150 prado version and adapt it like others were doing. id rather live with small gaps than a hulking monstrosity on the side.
 
Here are a bunch of pics taken this morning.
- This is the 3d model finished in black
- The Safari engineer will be back at the end of August or beginning of September to fit my truck with the first production model.
- For those with concerns with the size of the unit and comparing it to the Prado snorkel- be advise this is a different product in their snorkel range. It is the ARMAX it increases airflow, so it's larger.
- They are still conducting Dyno testing to determine what increases it has.
- The LC 200 had an 50% airflow increase
- You will see they are all roughly this size.

Bunch more pics to come.
