I know my truck isn't lifted yet but I was bored and decided to start on a snorkel. After checking out many different homemade versions I decided I wanted something different. Want it to be close to a factory style snorkel as I can. Mind you I've never attempted this before do don't laugh. Lol.
Started by getting everything out of the way.
Then I cut off and sealed off original intake with watertight bichathing window flashing.
Luckily I'm driving another vehicle right now so it can sit and be worked on.
Then I picked my new spot to come into airbox.
That bichathing stuff works like a charm.
So I went to home depot and picked up some thick plastic downspout extensions and some fittings to make up the snorkel.
Now I have it just tacked up with tape to show what it'll look like.
I'm going to smooth the surface of the snorkel and rhino line it so it's all sealed up and black. I still need to find something to use as the air ram, and something for a big gromet where the snorkel goes into the fender. Any ideas would be appreciated. That's what I have soo far. I will be updating.
Not much of an update but here's what it looks like now.
Used a drainage cone cap for the ram. Still going rhino line it and figure out something to use as grommet around the fender hole, and of coarse mount it somehow.
