Snorkel, anyone? [Merged]

Where can I find the cheapest, but not necessarily pangit na snorkel. Kahit made to order. Can't find the snorkel thread sa "other" forum, kaya dito na lang.

Hero,

Aha, someone awake to keep me company. Actually nangyari na sa akin yan last Oct. 27 (check my avatar and pbase pixs)). Basa carpet and all. Ngayon wala munang carpet up to the 30th. :wink:

Sir afrasay:::

You might wanna try Armark in San Juan, though di safari snorkel brand ang kanila, Airtek Snorkel ang carry nilang brand. Gusto mo sabay tayo magpakabit? :D

I tried Ride in banawe, wala si Mr. Diaz nung pumunta ako, then yung mga crew nila either tinatamad mag work o talagang walang alam sa mga products na binebenta nila. I asked them for suspension kits and snorkels, puro sila turo sa mga samples wala man lang explanation sa height increase, bushing changes, drilling holes for snorkes... what a waste of my time! :x

Nagpunta ako yesterday afternoon sa may 20th ave. Doon daw mayroon mura, as far as I remember doon sa "other" forum. P13,000 ang quote sa akin. Sabi ng mind ko, Whaaattt?!!! Parang orig na yun ,ah. Then, kanina look ako sa Safari website. Nakita ko kung gaano ka complicated yun design. Naisip ko hmmm....:roll:

'Fred::: mukhang mey balak kang magswimming na naman a! :mrgreen: Pare if youre on a budget, pwede kang gumawa ng snorkel made out of PVC pipes. Actually maganda rin yung result, but i guess mahirap gawin. I saw this in an old 4x4Mag

Baka mapagkamalan ilalim ng kitchen sink yon ride ko. Kaya siguro yan ng tubero ko . :lol: Got to go. Ninong na naman ako...

...sa binyag :D

afrasay,

DIY ka na lang ng snorkel. Tama si PK. Although hindi ito external. Ililipat lang nito ang intake point mo from inside the front portion of the engine compartment to inside the right front fender just before the right front door.

Can you imagine what I'm saying?

Use PVC and lots of sealant. This works on Toyota trucks. I see no reason why It can't work on our rigs.

Medyo matrabaho lang. You'd need to take the fender and fender liner off. Tapos rush back and forth your suking hardware store to get the right fittings and instillation stuff.
