DIY Snorkels

[DX grunt]

Has anyone done this and can give some pointers, prices, where to buy materials, what I need, how to fit, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

> Go to local sports store
> Purchase a set of goggles, snorkle and flippers
> Read instructions carefully
> Assemble and put on as instructed
> Drive truck into favourite mud hole
> Remember to wind down driver's window, put head out window and let snorkle do its thing
> If snorkle doesn't work, reverse out of mud hole,
> If you're stuck, ask for GUtey assistance (mobile phone must be waterproof)
> Once clear of site, go back to sports store and ask for money back

Snorkle will be cheaper when on special. GU driver will request a carton - not on special ! HAHAHAHAHA

I thought about going stainless but knowing me it would be scratched to buggery in no time and would require buffing every 4 months!

Here is a diagram of a Safari snorkel on a GQ.

If anyone here has a GQ with a snorkel can they please confirm that the square connection straight off the air filter as below is quite wobbley and only just held in by the one screw as per mine and the below diagram.

Seems a little dodgy to me?

I understand that there is flange type seal on the male side that the female slides over it but I would think for sure water can get in there???

Has anyone fixed there's up better to stop water or am I just stressing out and it's all hunky dory???

Also, been hunting for 4" stainless steel tubing today.

The best price so far is $46 per LM which is not bad compared to some places said $346 per LM...LMAO

Problem being that I can only get it in a 6m length and they don't cut down.

IF anyone in Victoria is planning on doing this then PM me...If we had another 2 people doing this then we could save a fair bit of money.

I will simply buy it and cut in 3 x 2m lengths in the carpark...lol

Still hunting for someone who can sell it in 2m lengths but the price will be higher.

Need 2m per vehicle (6m lengths = 3 vehicles total = $276 all up for 3 vehicles Stainless steel tubing).

Righto, here goes ... you'll have to remove the retention gasket as this isn't required and will only get in the way. Loosen off the top guide bolts and slip the cover off the induction manifold. Once done, only then can you remove the ducting hose from it's attachment and make room for the new inlet housing. Then fit the new air intake ballast on the end of the ...

Nahhhh ... you got me ... I haven't got a clue!!!! LOL

Sorry boss - bored ... lol

Silicon around the Fitting would make it Watertight. Any way if you are that deep in Water the old GQ would be Waterlogged inside and would not be able to pull out of the River RAFLMAO
