when i fitted a safari to my nissan navara 3.0lt the cyclone pre cleaner had to go,this was fitted with a with a rubber frog mouth to pinch and let the collected dust out.most air cleaner houseings i've seen have em' also,the navara's houseing does'nt,my thoughts were if rain did get in it had no where to go.the houseing had a protrusion blanked off where i could see a frog mouth used to live,so i drilled it out and fitted one.then i went one better i fitted a cap with a clear rubber tube on it,about 100mm. long, sealed at the other end with a rubber bung out of my tinnie,so unit is sealed for water crossings,travelled home this arvo'thru about 1/2 hour of heavy rain do'in 80 to 100k's p/h,checked the clear tube it had about 30ml's of water in it,pulled the bung out and drained it,so in future when it rains i'll leave the bung out. hope this helps other navara owners or any one else with safari snorkels fitted,phew' thats the longest one fingered post i've ever done,need a beer see ya'.
