How to: Install a Safari Snorkel on a 1993 Ford Ranger

Introduction

I found some of the information on the web for installing an ARB Safari Snorkel onto our truck’s kind of lacking, so I went a little overboard. I hope this page helps. Please be sure to read our Legal Notice / Disclaimer.

Parts Needed

• Snorkel kit (Safari Snorkels SS60HF – Fit 60 Series 1980-1989 Toyota Land Cruiser)

Well, Here’s How It Went In

First held up the snorkel, to get an idea of where to place it.

Then marked the hole, drilled a 1/2″ hole and used a jigsaw to cut it out.

After this, I measured and drilled holes for the 4 studs that hold the snorkel to the fender. I then painted the cut edges, and bolted up the snorkel itself.

Inside the fender there is a 90-degree elbow, and a flexi-hose that runs down the inside of the fender.

All the kit comes with is the 90-degree elbow (that attaches to the snorkel itself) and the flexi-hose. I then proceeded to Home Depot and picked up some 3-inch ABS pipe, 2 – 90-degree couplers, and a 3″ drain connector.

Before this all, I took the stock airbox apart, and cut off all but the main duct, and sealed all of the seams with plastic weld, and black silicone.

I then mocked up everything, and using ABC cement, sealed it up.

 

Then connected it to the flexi-hose with plastic weld and finally with black silicone.

Keep in mind I plumbed all of this in while RETAINING the stock INNER FENDER.

 

Then secured it all in place and started to put it all back together.

 

At this point, I bolted the inner fender back in place and put the airbox back. I used the rubber connector along with silicone (and hose clamps) to connect the ducting to the airbox.

 

And the view you see when its put back, if you didn’t see the snorkel, you would never know.

Where To Purchase

While I no longer see these snorkels being offered by ARB, similar snorkels can still be found for the 1980-1989 Toyota Land Cruiser and fit the same.
