Very nice! Did it cost exactly $220? Made of stainless?

by **MrBIGHORN** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 5:14 pm

3" Steel. Stainless would have cost $160 for 2 metres

nicley done have been thinking about one myself as the air intake is up by my left headlight and I get a few unexpected puddles spraying over the ute but dont do deep water work and dont know whether they are worth doing for a petrol

The cooler air would help and give you a slight boost of power.

nicely done
Just a couple of things
Since its steel did you paint the inside as well? It will get moisture on wet days
How did you seal the 2 bolts on the lower section or are the welded to the outside?
Can we have a picture of the other side of the A pillar mount?
Not sure about the blue elbows

by **MrBIGHORN** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 5:55 pm

Hi Alan, Yes the inside of the tube has been painted.
The bolts have a rubber tap washer on the inside and i could not find black elbows for the money
i had.
Thanks

Two screws just behind the door rubber seal.

very professional job... i like it... I have seen a few nasty looking homemade ones... this one looks neat.

Nice job, now get a second snorkle done on the other side,.......that would really set your car apart from the others, just make sure you use the blue elbows again,....hahaha

looks great for the amount you spent, looks like you did the same as what i did to mount the pod filter.

take her out to show the snorkel in use and she will let you have anything you want.

I know its not isuzu but its all I could find quickly
When you ask her to push at the half way point you will be able to buy that locker you wanted
