Re: Snorkel DIY or Not
Not difficult to do, just get your positioning of the holes correct. If You've done it before then it should be easier 2nd time around.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Some DIY. The kit piping not100% had to improvise with 76mm silicone piping. Also made the young man work on the wheel nuts.

Re: Snorkel DIY or Not
I did not do the full airbox mod by removing the 60mm section and the vortex fin. Some owners do it, but it is a crucial part of the water seperation unit. How it works it creates a vortex that will force all particles to the outer side op the pipe (90mm). The inner section is 60mm, the air zone. At the end of the 90mm section is a water trap to expell the water. I left it all intact. The flow coefficient will be higher with the 60mm port but a few Kw's less, does not overrule the risk of water ingress.
