Safari Snorkels on 100 TD Cruisers

Hey Andrew

Q1 No.

Q2 No.

Q3 Yes I am getting one on Tuesday.

Q4 If your not a tool person I would suggest you get some one else to do it.

If you are handy with tools let me know and I will try to help you through it.

Better still I will post a thread when I do mine with step by step photos.

Cheers Steve.

1. No
2.I believe they do and did with mine,just a little..
3. I believe so

4. Yeah ARB will fit it for about $160..People here are mechanical and would not pay it..I'm not and dont think the above is a lot of money in this case..


Cheers

ARB told me that the small yellow side light has to be relocated when they do the Safari - IE they cut a new hole for that too. My observation is that the Airtec snorkel does not require this - and for what it is worth, the Airtec is smoother and neater in profile against the 100 series body - I'll be going for the latter, before my next decent trip in our 100 (and I wouldn't trust me to install it either :-o)...... re performance - I had a Safari on the Jack - mainly to keep dust out of the equation and for some insurance on river crossings.... I'm highly sceptical about improved performance because although the scoop catches 'powered air' the abrupt turns that the air takes on its journey would downgrade the effect in my view..... and I usually cruise at 85-90kph anyway.
PLEASE NOTE that some models of Safari snorkel have a metal baffle washer installed near the scoop - only done on cars that the manufacturer knows will have noise issues in the cab - I don't know if they do it on the 100 series - neither Safari or the installer told me about it re my Jackaroo - as I recall, the washer restricted the airflow potential by well over 50% !!! - what a mob of @#$%^&*! - I took the washer out.

Andrew,

1/ no
2/ doubt it
3/ yes
4/ not really

I fitted my own and yes the indicator had to be lowered,as for the not fitting to body comment elswhere thats not true.mine sits on the body perfectly and it has no restrictor in it.cheers Paul

1/ Not that I have noticed.
2/ I haven't noticed any.
3/ Much of a muchness I would think, but safari are popular.
4/ don't believe so.

The indicator light on the guard is re-located to sit below the safari snorkel but looks tidy. I used the ossy park branch of the supplier you mentioned and they did a neat job.

Andrew,
I have used Safari before and they were ok. Used an Airtec on my LC100 because the Safari required the side indicator to be moved, the Airtec doesn't.

The paper template for hole drilling was not exactly right but close enough. I did my own and it took about 3 gentle hours. Not inclined to hurry and get it wrong.

Do you like cutting big holes in your Cruiser?

cheers
