Safari snorkel on a 5th gen?

[gm350reratliff]

March is realistic. These are actually entering into the production queue now, not on a boat. But they're very close and people can finally stop hassling me. It's a win win.

No, we'll find something else to hassle you about.

Oh. I'm sure.

Oh. I'm sure.

Poke.. poke.. hassle.. hassle.. [MENTION=124732]LawnDart[/MENTION] , two questions for yaa, 1, did you get your front bumper powder coated or line-x'ed? 2, why did you go from icon to king suspension?

 

[Jhalko]

Coin is less of an issue for me.. It's the cutting that makes me bleed.

That fender is the only one on my entire truck that doesn't have any damage of some sort, gotta make it match the rest! :laugh:

Powder coated.

Because Icons are kinda...not great, and for a dual shock long travel there was no way the ICONs would be ideal. I also was impressed by how the KINGs were built after helping take apart BJ Baldwins during Recoil 3.

It's officially listed on the Press Releases page of the ARBUSA website now

The link on their site is broken, but with a little URL wizardry, this is the correct link http://www.arbusa.com/Uploads/PDF/newProductAdvice/2017/SS450HF_4Runner_Snorkel.pdf

I have placed an order for a Snorkel last week. Was told it should be shipped around mid-March upon receiving them from Australia.

I put a deposit down on one from Sierra Expeditions, it's listed on their site.

I called North Shore Off Road in Vancouver, BC and ordered from them.

Spoke to arb again today. Their first shipment is almost sold out. Biggs told me to call a reseller to lock one down, so I called toytec and put my order in, paid in full. That was the easy part. Now to find someone who can install it right the first time. Eh. If you want a snorkel call an arb reseller today.

I actually just got off the phone with Will about 2 hours ago and secured one of the last ones lol!

 

[gm350reratliff]

Already sold out? How many snorkels did they make?

I'm sure it's the initial batch/shipment. When I pre-ordered mine from sierra expeditions, Will mentioned there were 9 left on the Feb 24th shipment.

They're not going to make all that many. It's a very niche market based on the research.

I just ordered mine. Can't wait to end the dust storm in my airbox....These aftermarket bumpers are no bueno on the dust intake. Probably going to end up cutting up my fenders to clear 35s and go full width LT at some point, so it just made sense to go with a snorkel....

Niche yes, but I would think if running an initial batch you make more than you know you will sell so you have stock out there for a bit to avoid another run in a short period. Otherwise why go through the trouble of making it to begin with.

I put an order in... :thanks:

Placing a preorder with my local ARB dealer tomorrow

Because they're busy producing snorkels for their larger market segments. Simple as that. This product came very close to never coming out.

I have to wonder if they might be surprised by final interest. Oh well, hope I get mine...
