How to make your own 4" stainless steel snorkel

[AB]

Prime, KillRust and or paint the cut. put the trim around the cut and silicone the outer trim to ensure no water can get in.




Set the pipe and 90 degree up as shown below and cut the pipe down where you want to start heading up the A pillar. As below I marked out where we cut mine. It was a whisker left of the middle of the aerial or exactly between the "O" & "L" of the PATROL badge.



The fun part...Put it all together and duct tape it to your car to hold in place to hold it.



Now you need to brace it to your vehicle.

I ended up getting funky and used some brackets I had in the shed, rolled them to form around the snorkel using a treated pine post, hammer and vise grips and beat the hell out of it until it was shaped to how I wanted it.

Many people simply get a Z shape bracket and fix it at the top of the pillar only so this is entirely up to you...



Drill a hole and nutsert it...





Then apply some velcro padding so the bracket doesn't end up ripping your car apart and rusting your panels for years to come...



Sprayed the brackets waited 10 years for it to dry being a sunny Melbourne day and here is the final result!!!

VERY COOL, VERY TOUGH AND VERY EASY!
