In this video, I showcase why and when you NEED to install a snorkel on your Lexus GX470, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, Toyota Sequoia, or similar rig. I have seen far too many posts on social media mocking snorkels as being try-hard off-road accessories for people who are just trying to look cool. It's not about aesthetics, its about protecting your engine from hydrolocking when going through any depth of water at speed. If you modify your factory-installed air intake system, you should consider getting a snorkel.

Great video and explanation! You’re very good at explaining what and why you’re doing these upgrades
use a center punch before drilling it makes it a lot easier, keeps the bit from moving.
Great video! Excellent channel. Great edits. Well done.
How's the Velcro holding up?
Solid video bro!!
Many thanks for your prompt reply. Whether you have a snorkel or an air scoop at the coolest position inside the engine bay, I would fit a pre-filter, albeit less "sexy" than the other heads.
Having a snorkle also is a best way of having a “cold air intake”
nice job, nice dad, im in for this . my 470 is coming this week,under 100,000 miles on a 2006 desert camo wrap since i live in new mex
awesome video. Thank you for the car wash test!
Where did buy that little mesh or you made it ?
Many thanks for your informative video. I'd be very grateful for your opinion on a cool air intake modification I'm thinking of making. I have a Hilux SW4 diesel 2008. The air filter is like a drum on the right and it receives air from under the wheel arch, which, even if the ill-fitting plastic liner with its fragile fasteners provided reasonable protection from dirt and rain thrown up by the wheel, I'd like to shift the air intake to inside the engine bay at the coolest, most protected spot. My idea is to block the orginal entry tube and fit another of the same diameter either forward to just behind the headlamp or at the right back corner of the engine compartment. Can you tell me which would be the cooler position and least likely to suck in dust and rain. Incidentally, I'm againt schnorkels for varios reasons, although they do look "sexy". I'd be extremely grateful for your expert advice on this project.
Great video. I’m looking at the Lenzo design, anyone have any experience or opinion?
Great vid...Well done. Quick question: What happens in a torrential downpour rainstorm? My thought is that's a much more likely scenario to cause a massive amount of water ingress than spray from around the fender liner with tape. No?
What tire size are you running? Great video
quick question bro. with your setup, what's your MPG? also, with your amazon snorkel, did you have a good template? i've heard horror stories of bad templates resulting in multiple holes on the fender.
How come the defender has a flush looking intake? It’s aesthetically pleasing than all the ones out there
Let’s see that gt4 in the back
Was there a difference in sound?
