That looks awsome, nice work !  

Toyota Kijang

Looks great! On my 4BTJ80, I had one on- once a lady asked me if it was a snow blower (this was in in Austin too). I had a good laugh.

Get ready for all sorts of questions from un-educated people. I had a snorkle in my FJ62 and I got them all. "What's that thing for?" "Is that a periscope?" "Do you ever use that?" "How deep have you had that truck under water?" "Is that a ram-air intake?" etc... Great job BTW, nice truck too. I'm gonna print the pics and file, I may have a snorkle some day. Where did you get yours?  

Awesome! I want to see it in action. Do you have a pretty good seal on the doors? Click to expand...

What size pipe is that? Looks like about 2". Was your original intake on that side of the airbox, where you attached the PVC? Mine is a little tube that exits the airbox in the front, sucks air from behind the headlight.

I thought I'd tack something on this older post as it still comes up in searches and is pretty thorough. Just finished installing mine so it's fresh on my mind. First, the template provided is a little off. The main hole in the fender should be centered about 1/8" up and to the rear when looking at the fender (ie: 2:00). That's why everyone has to trim the hole further after drilling. The inner fender hole (on the engine bay side) needs to follow the outer fender hole. The 3 stud holes also need to move 1/8", but straight back, not up. That's a starting point. On my truck, 1/4" would have been even better. Next is the intake size. Since these snorkels are for low revving diesels, they're sized too small for higher revving gas engines. The throttle body on a 22RE is about 2.5", the inlet on the air box is 2.5", but the necked down portion of the snorkel where it enters the engine bay is about 2 inches, 20% smaller. At low RPM that's not a big deal, but no need introducing restriction into what is already an exceptionally long intake path. Good news is the larger part of the snorkel before the step is right at 3" OD, an there's plenty of room to clamp a hose if you cut off the 2" step down part. You will have to clamp it from within the fender well, plenty of room though. From there you can either run a 2.5" or 3" hose to your air box. After some searching I'm using flexible brake duct hose which is available in 2.5" and 3.0" ID's. This is what's used on track cars to duct cool air to brakes. It's high temp, reinforced, waterproof and light. This will require you to fit a 2.5" or 3" elbow to the lower air box to attach to. If you run 2.5" you'll need a step-down adapter (3" id to 2.5" od at the snorkel body). The reason I keep noting 2 sizes is that fitting a 3" elbow into the lower air filter housing runs you into the air filter where 2.5" does not. I'm still looking at mine deciding which to use.

ARB Safari Snorkel Intake Kit For 4Runner (2010-2024)

Product overview.

ARB Snorkels are for more than just deep water crossings. ARB Snorkels help ensure water does not make its way through your airbox and into your engine while crossing rivers and unexpected floodways. The fitment of a well designed and constructed snorkel, just as importantly, protects your engine from dust while traveling along dry dirt roads. The fitment of a snorkel repositions the air-intake to a much higher and cleaner location, significantly reducing the amount of dust passing through to your airbox and filter.

I know this is a long shot, but I'm looking for a shop that has one or two of these discontinued masks. I have been diving with one for 10 years and waited too long to buy a couple of backups. I'm happy to pay shipping plus a reasonable handling cost if the shop doesn't usually ship but would be willing to. Thanks!

This is on eBay, close enough? Diving H2 Odyssey MS12 /SCUBA Mask Goggles /Red/Tempered Glass / With Case | eBay I looked at an image of your exact mask model. That mask form is awfully close to the Tusa Liberator and the Sherwood Magnum masks. I think some scuba products marketing groups source and share basic components then add their own modifications to make them their "product". I have also noticed this occurs among 2nd stage regulators. There are strong basic similarities among Hog, Dive Rite and perhaps some other 2nd stage regs.

I love my Ruff Rugs liner for the back of my 2023 Subaru Forester. My dog is with me as much as possible traveling along. This has been a welcome modification for hair and drool control. It looks great and cleans up nicely. Highly recommend.

Great product but didn’t fit as well as I was expecting. Each piece seemed to be .5”-1” too big on the bottom and each side which isn’t what I was expecting but still a very good product.

Oh no! We 100% guarantee the fit so we will reach out immediately to make sure the fit is perfect and send you a new one!

The product was customized to fit my Telluride and looks great.

Great quality and perfect fit

I got this liner for my 2020 Kia Telluride. My previous liner was from the dealership and was difficult to use when I needed to put the seats up and down (which is frequently with my kids and carpools). My favorite feature is the split in the liner so one seat can be up while the others down. It took less than 3 minutes to install and has already been useful after hikes with my dog. The back got completely muddy and with a damp rag I was able to wipe it clean in minutes. Highly recommend this product!

I haven't used it yet.

Overall I really like them. Really well made. Lower rating because on the left and right medial side of the split seats, the Velcro was stitched in a wrong place to me. The Velcro is on the back on the seat and the back slide piece. If i have it stick down where it straddles this junction I would not be able to lift the seats.

A recommendation to the very back cargo area. Put the 3m tape on the other side of the seams and eliminate the very rear 3m tape. the piece that covers the cargo lid use straps to go around it to hold the mat down. The straps like the ones on the seats. This way you can remove the panel without having to undo the Velcro.

I gave it 5* because the quality of the liner seems fantastic. I do wish there was a single piece option the protects the entire rear/door trim/ and partition similar to the dirtydog liner in my Jeep. I realize it would be more expensive, but I would be willing to spend more for it.

This product is well thought out and immediately upgrade the free padding. I don't need a dog bed back there anymore and the mat keeps dog hair out. Would suggest.

So far product is as advertised. Need time to see how it stands up to elements and dog activity.

The material is really thick and sturdy. It did ship without one of the wheel well covers but all I had to do was email customer service and it was on its way out the very next day. Overall very satisfied.

Ruff Rug cargo liner is the best liner on the market. But that isn't even the best part. The customer service is outstanding. They are quick to answer questions and follow up per the online chat. Highly recommend for quality product and quality company culture.

My new BMW X3 Cargo Liner arrived this week and surpassed mu expectations. Your company has been very accommodating and pleasurable working with. Thank you.

I love my ruff rugs- fits my car perfect; looks great and is very comfy for my pup

Hyundai Palisade Cargo Liner & Cargo Mat

Fit perfectly, protects my car from the dogs jumping in and scratching the bumper.

The bumper cover definitely protects the bumper. Like the cargo liner, it is easy to install and clean. I never detach the cover and because of that, I wish it was vinyl double-sided. I tend to just fold it up after the dogs are in the back and of course they've stepped on the backside of the vinyl or the bumper has been wet when they've gotten out, so it's a different kind of dirty from the side that you can easily wipe off. Otherwise, it's definitely saving the bumper from the steps I use to get the dogs into the car or or the dogs' nails.

I have had the cargo liner and padding for a couple months now. It was really easy to install and it matches the light interior of my Palisade really well (cream). I like the cutouts for access to the safety hooks for tethering my two large dogs. Cleaning is easy and I have already wiped it several times after muddy jaunts to the dog park. When I ordered these mats, the liner sides did not exist for the Palisade just yet. I will definitely order them once they are available in cream!

Product provided was of high quality. The service and shipping were reliable and on time.

Product was customized to fit the car well and looks great. Customer service was a delight to chat with as well,

Stands up to a German shepherd and keeps my Jeep looking nice and clean.

I am so impressed with these covers. We purchased the entire set up for the cargo area of our brand new 4-Runner. It works perfect for our black lab and german shepherd. It keeps the plastic safe from dog nail scratches and is so easy to wipe clean compared to a fabric liner. On top of it being an excellent quality product, their customer service is unbeatable. We had questions and a couple tweaks we had to make which resulted in us e-mailing Ruff Rugs. The responses we got back were thorough and they did whatever they could to help us. Don’t hesitate to purchase this if you’re looking for a sturdy cover to protect your vehicle. Thank you Ruff Rugs! Our girls are thrilled to be able to ride along with us!

I got the 2022 CRV hybrid and wanted more than just the floor cargo bed covered. I wanted the back of the rear seats to be protected as well. I haul things quite often and use the full capacity of the rear cargo space. The first rug that was sent was wrong. I contacted Ruff right away and they sent me the correct one with return shipping label for the wrong one. Easy, fast and friendly service! I filled my back with big terracotta pots last weekend and not a scratch or scuff anywhere thanks to the Ruff Rug. Easy to install and keep clean. Looks good too. Thanks Ruff rugs!

Alpha equipt carbon fiber snorkel for 5th gen 4runner – install & review.

Let’s be honest, there are several great snorkel options on the market for the 5th Gen 4Runner. Though they all work essentially the same, if you want something a little more streamlined and low profile, options are limited. After understanding the real benefits , I knew that I wanted something with awesome aesthetics and wouldn’t get caught on low-hanging tree branches.

I found a few different low-profile options currently on the market. However, I found that they required some serious rerouting of my aftermarket electrical cables inside my KC Wire Hider . Suffice it to say, I didn’t want to do all of that extra work.

Then, I came across the Alpha Equipt Short Snorkel, which checked all of my boxes. It would sit flush from the fender up to the passenger side A-Pillar, but stop before getting to the roofline of the 4Runner. This meant that I wouldn’t need to reroute my existing wires.

Note : There is a short and long version, with the latter extending over the roofline.

Product overview.

After ordering, I was impressed with how quickly it arrived. Everything was wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap and packaged well to avoid any shipping damage. Kudos to Alpha Equipt!

The snorkel itself is a one-piece complete carbon fiber design, making it super light. It comes with a heavy-duty plastic intake “pipe” to connect it to the air intake box.

Also included is a nice fiberglass template which I found easy to use. I did read that some people said the template was off and didn’t line up with their snorkel mounting studs, so double-check to make sure everything lines up properly before drilling. My template was pretty spot on.

Overall, the installation was pretty straightforward and not as intimidating as I would have imagined (drilling a giant hole into my fender).

Alpha Equipt states that its snorkels are engineered to work with the OEM air intake box with the addition of an intake coupler to connect it. The steps below will be for installing this onto a TRD cold air intake . So, some steps may be slightly different if installed with an OEM stock air intake box.

Tools & Materials Required:

• Flat Head Screwdriver
• Painters Tape
• Sharpie/Marker pen
• Center punch
• Safety Glasses
• Drill Bits 1/8-3/8
• 3 1/2 inch metal hole saw
• Dremel tool
• 12mm Socket
• 10mm Socket/Rachet Wrench
• RTV Silicone
• Rustoleum/Touch up paint

Needed for TRD CAI install only:

• 4″ x 3.5″ Intake Coupler
• 4.5″ Worm Clamps x 2

Step 1. Remove Air Intake Box Lid

Before we start, we need to remove the air intake box and prep it for the snorkel connection. This has to be done regardless if you have a stock OEM intake air box or an upgraded cold air intake. To remove the stock air intake box you can reference this article .

To remove the TRD CAI box, start by loosening the two worm clamps that hold the coupler in place with a flathead screwdriver. Then, wiggle the coupler away from the intake box to clear it from the opening.

Next, unclip the two clips holding down the lid of the box. Be careful not to bend them too far as they may break. With the lid unclipped and the coupler pushed out of the way, lift on the side with the clips and slide it toward the passenger fender to release it from the hinge. Set the lid aside in a safe area and avoid getting it dirty or damaged.

Step 2. Remove Air Filter

Remove the air filter and set aside. If your filter needs to be replaced or cleaned, this is a great time to do so during reinstallation later.

Step 3. Remove Air Intake Box

Remove the three 12mm bolts on the bottom of the air intake box. Then, unclip the wire harness on the backside. Finally, pull the box away and out from the fender.

Step 4. Remove Intake Duct

Remove the TRD intake duct by folding it into itself and rolling it together to clear the flange from the port hole.

The OEM intake box will have a plastic duct attached to it. Remove it by using a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry it off.

Note : If your 4Runner has an OEM air intake, skip the sanding and coupler steps below and loosely reinstall your air intake box in the engine bay.

Step 5. Sand Down Intake Box Tabs

For the TRD CAI to connect to the snorkel pipe, a 4′ to 3.5″ intake coupler needs to be used. For it to have a good air-tight connection, two tabs need to be sanded flat using a Dremel or something similar.

Step 6. Install Intake Coupler

Place the 4″ side of the intake couple over the intake for the box. Then, place the center worm clamp on the coupler and tighten it down. Position the worm clamp so it can be easily tightened or loosened once the box is reinstalled.

Once your air box has been prepped, reinstall it into your engine bay. Don’t tighten these down all the way just yet. You’ll want to leave them a little loose for when you install the snorkel pipe.

Step 7. Remove Fender Liner

Next, you’ll need to remove the inner fender liner from the passenger side. I didn’t plan on reinstalling it, so I broke off all the heads to the clips and cut the rest of the liner out. If you do plan on reinstalling the liner, I recommend using a body clip removal tool. Or, order enough of those clips to replace the ones you break.

Step 8. Prep/Clean Fender

Clean the fender well to get rid of any grit, dust, and grime. Then, use painter’s tape to cover the entire area where the snorkel will be installed.

Step 9. Check Template Against Snorkel

As mentioned previously, I had heard of some Alpha Equipt templates that didn’t line up with the mounting studs correctly on the snorkel. Double-check to make sure it all lines up and is good to go.

Step 10. Attach Template To Fender

Align the template up to the body lines on the fender. This template is made of fiberglass and molded to the 4Runner’s fender, so placement is easy. Once you’ve triple-checked placement, tape it down to mark your drilling holes.

Step 11. Mark Drilling Holes

Using a sharpie, mark all of the drilling holes on the tape with the template.

Step 12. Center Punch All Holes

Using a center punch and hammer, mark all the centers for all the holes. This will make for more precise drilling.

Step 13. Drill Mounting Holes

Start by drilling a small pilot hole using a 1/8 bit. Then, step up the sizes until you reach a 3/8 bit for the final hole size. This produced a hole that was slightly larger than on the template but allowed some wiggle room for adjustments for final fitment.

Step 14. Cut Hole For Snorkel Intake

Next, remove the fiberglass template, and with a 3.5″ hole saw, slowly let the drill and saw do the work. It’ll cut through the fender pretty easily. Take your time and don’t try to force it.

I used a brand new hole saw that is rated to cut metal and it sliced through the fender like butter.

Step 15. Test Fit Snorkel

Place the snorkel on the fender and make sure everything lines up properly.

Step 16. Clean Up Hole Edges

Use a Dremel tool with a grinding bit to clean up all the hole cuts and smooth everything out.

Step 17. Rust Prevention

After removing all the painter’s tape, It’s a good idea to use some rust prevention on the bare metal from the drilled-out holes. I used some Toyota touch-up paint that I had lying around. Rust-oleum clear paint could be used as well.

Step 18. Prep A-Pillar & Snorkel

Clean the A-pillar and the backside of the snorkel with rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth. This will help give the 3M tape a good clean surface to stick to. Then, place the included 3M tape to the section that’ll sit on the A-pillar.

The nuts and washers come attached to the mounting studs for the snorkel. Remove those with a 10mm deep socket or wrench and set them aside in a safe spot.

Step 19. Mount Snorkel

Align the snorkel to the fender and A-pillar and make sure all mounting points are aligned with the mounting studs. Once everything is lined up correctly, push on the section with the 3M tape and hold it down with some pressure for about a minute or two for it to create a good bond.

Using two of the supplied 10mm nuts and washers, start the threads on the two mounting studs closest to the A-pillar. Do not tighten them all the way yet.

Step 20. Slide Worm Clamp Onto Intake Coupler

The intake coupler I ordered came with two worm clamps; one 4.5″ and one 4″. While test fitting, I found that the latter wasn’t big enough to insert the intake pipe all the way and attach it to the snorkel. So, plan on using the 4.5″ clamp. Hang the clamp on the intake coupler and align it so that it’s easy to tighten up after the intake pipe is in place.

Note : This step is not needed if installed onto an OEM stock intake air box.

Step 21. Seal Connection From Snorkel To Intake Pipe

Using RTV silicone, lay a good bead of it around the mounting face of the intake pipe. This will seal it up to prevent any water ingress.

Step 22. Attach Snorkel Intake Tube

Take caution not to get the RTV silicone all over the place. Slide the tapered end of the intake pipe into the intake coupler for the air intake box. Wiggle it in on and rotate the intake pipe upwards towards the mounting tabs for the mounting studs of the snorkel. A little silicone spray can help here, but I didn’t find that necessary.

Once the mounting tabs are lined up with the mounting studs, install the remaining two 10mm nuts and washers and tighten them down until snug. Take care not to over torque these as the mounting studs on the carbon fiber snorkel could break free. Finally, tighten the worm clamp on the intake coupler.

Re-Assemble Air Intake Box

After all four mounting nuts and worm clamp have been tightened under the fender, tighten down the three 12mm mounting bolts for the air intake box in the engine bay. Then, reinstall your air filter and intake box lid. Double-check all connections and you’re done!

Final Thoughts

After installing this snorkel, I love the look on my 4Runner. I’m not sure if it’s just a placebo effect, but paired with the TRD CAI, it seems to have gained a slightly better MPG as well. Albeit, probably by only .5 MPG.

Installation was pretty straightforward, and can easily be done in an afternoon. One thing that I noticed immediately is that at certain RPMs with the passenger window down, you can hear it sucking in the air. That sound isn’t noticeable with the window up, however.

In the end, the Alpha Equipt short snorkel checks off all the criteria I wanted and needed. It was low profile and the installation didn’t require me to reroute any electrical cables running up to my roof rack. Now, I have a little piece of mind when crossing deeper water and will be less likely to get hung up on low-hanging branches compared to a traditional style snorkel. Keeping my intake cleaner from dust during the summer is also an awesome benefit.

The cherry on top, though, is that carbon fiber construction, which is just super rad.

Hello JEREMY, The vendor’s phone number of this product is no longer in service. Are they still in business & is this snorkel still available? Where can I order the short version of this snorkel? Thank you kindly!!

Great write up, I reached out to them to purchase one because of your write up, but was told by Alpha they aren’t making these anymore.

Great write-up Jeremy, Glad to see someone do it with a TRD CAI, I was told by the company it didn’t fit. Looks great and now that you’ve completed yours any chance of hiring you? Thanks for the info

Thanks Matt!! Yes technically this snorkel is only designed to work with the stock intake air box, but using a coupler works well to attach it to the the TRD CAI.

I got to check out one of these on a 4Runner up in Denver a few months ago and really liked the quality and fit as well as the look. Excellent write up and now I’m really going to have to look into one of these next year.

This was a great write-up with lots of smart mechanic/install tips. I sadly have no need for a snorkel (my Limited serves more time as a buff minivan more than anything), I read the entire install. That’s a sign of good write-up!

Well, this is one of the coolest looking snorkels I have ever seen. I think everyone needs to understand that carbon fiber parts are not cheap. I think this would be a great fit on a prerunner type truck, due to the sleekness. I would love one of these for my Sequoia.

Considering the cost of just about everything for the 4Runner, I honestly think the snorkel is priced well, especially for carbon fiber. A quick glance at ARB snorkels for example, all run around the $600-$700 range. So a little more for carbon fiber is reasonable to me.

The price is ridiculous!

Good write up. Glad it went well and it looks cool in a unique way. But the price point… ouch.
