Safari Snorkel, looks ridiculous

Yeah I have a rack but cant fit it in the garage with it on, did think of that. Regards Steve

Cheers Graeme, I went and had a look at one today at tjm, they look as well made as the safari, $650 fitted, plus got a quote for the suspension, What suspension do you have in yours ?? Going by the look of yours it has a lift as well ?? Also are you running any form of power chips or exhaust or any thing like that ?? Got a price on a dtronic $1500, didnt think they were that dear. Also got a price back today for an exhaust Beauexhausts, $960 supply only, Regards Steve

The suspension in mine is Old Man Emu, which has a 50mm lift. It's a big improvement over standard-doesn't feel like the dash is going to fall out every time you hit a corrugation now!

I haven't done anything as far as chip or exhaust goes. I thought about a chip, but I find the performance, even when towing is adequate for my needs.

Hi Graeme, I was wondering how many litres per 100k you use towing ?? I use roughly 13.4L per 100 around town stop start etc, freeway best has been around 10.4 per 100 but this is travelling at over 100k eg 115 in 110 zone etc I dont baby it as in keeping under 100 if speed limit allows higher. It uses a tad more then I expected, I was expecting around the 10's around town and 9's on the freeway but I suppose its like anything the more power you have the more you use it. I use to get around 10's consistantly with the old 2.8D hilux (no turbo) didnt matter how you drove it, city,freeway,sand etc. We were up at Stockton Beach last weekend and did 33.3 k in the sand, 99% of this was in the sand dunes at the back of the beach so was really giving it some and the sand was quit soft and running the bf's a/t's at 18 psi, it used 15 Litres ?? Regards Steve

Towing I usually get between 12 and 14lt/100, depending on speed and conditions. I haven't done much sand driving, so I don't have any figures for that.

I don't think I've ever got better than 10lt/100, even when not towing.

Hi there Barnes, I don't have one fitted at the moment, the one in the picture is not mine I just used it to show the excess height. I know what you mean in regards the fitment of it on the guard but I would rather that then the thing sticking up in the air like the lockness monster.Regards Steve

Here is a pic of his car from the side which shows that the snorkel is not much higher than the roof-line, but due to the vertical section at the top, it does come forward a fair way from the top of the windscreen.
