4WD Supplies Snorkel Install Guide MN

[Amaroo]

It's only the first hole that hurts Chris, once that is out of the way you'll be fine

I used rivet nuts on mine for the pillar bracket and am very happy with the result.

Yell out if you need some moral support if you decide to fit it yourself.

Haha I'll be well and truly sobbing by then mate, might need a quick reassuring call Shane "it'll all be over soon Chris!" Hahaha. Im just on ebay now trying to suss out which one to get. Cant justify $500+ for tjm/arb.

Have you checked out the price from the sponsor?
This install is actually of the sponsors product, would be worth a look!

[sydneymark]

Currently the sponsors website doesn't list any snorkels in his snorkel page, let alone a price

Slotted rivnuts Chris? Im worried about a nutsert spinning later down the track! Any good brands or recommendations on rust proofing the holes?

Have a look here for more on nutserts and rivet nuts.

Just cover the raw metal around the holes well with some touch up paint.

Give me a call if you need holesaws - I have the right sizes in the shop.

Rivet nuts it is then haha! Yea if I could borrow them that'd be great Chris! I think my set at home only goes to 3". Once I get the snorkel I'll give you a bell.

Opposite lock just quoted me $838 for the supply and fitting of a safari snorkel, get stuffed haha!

[sydneymark]

I just ordered my snorkel off fleabay, cost about $150, given the opposite lock price I am looking at a saving of almost $700!

Of course, that is assuming I don't muck it up big time

One catch ...it's the washer bottle...the old one won't fit without modifying and plastic welding...

[sydneymark]

I was aware about the new bottle, but as far as i can see some of them, hopefully including the one i got has got the bottle included

Usually with these cheap kits you get a square one that won't fit any where....
Do a search and you will find how others have got round this ....by modifying the ome bottle...

That julelife4x4 one you linked to above on eBay sydneymark comes with a replacement bottle that replaces the factory one and fits fine. Check out my build thread to see what it looks like if you want a look.

Oh well there goes the reason why I bought a safari...

[ChrisK.ACT]

+1 for julelife, just ordered their kit.

At some stage all of this ^^^^^ is going to have to move into the cheap ebay snorkel thread. I get why it started here but all this talk of cheap ebay alternatives is a bit disrespectful given the thread started out about a sponsor's product don't you think?

[Bazzer87]

I installed my snorkel today - I used this thread as my instructions and it all went smoothly.

Cheers

[Staf77]

I also used this for my snorkel!

One question oh, what's the best way to check that you have sealed it all watertight?

[az_triton]

About to fit my snorkel this weekend. This thread is invaluable. Thanks.
