now committed to sorting the bighorn

[muskie]

ordered my first accessory today, snorkel , yes i know probably the last item needed but i know what i am like, i need to see something happening in the begining, and damn it they look so cool on all you boys trucks. allways made them in the past but ive bought a hi flow kit, couldnt believe the price of safari item are they that much better

Cant remember what I paid for my safari but I know I took a step back when I wrote the cheque out

......but worth every cent when the waters deep, I've seen 4 vehicles hydrolic and they've all been in crossings that I'd driven through

yip they are good , we put two on similar pajeros at the same time once . the safari was a much better kit , with everything you need . but the airflow one was pretty basic but heaps cheaper .

Hands down best initial upgrade, and best snorkel on the market.

You will be fine with te airflow kit you bought though, just take care and use HEAPS of sealant. I used Ados Galve bond on the last one i did. Worked a treat!!!!

My safari's on a 70 series cruiser and the snorkel joins onto the airbox intake inside the inner gaurd with a O ring seal. I've always used a lot of silicone sealer (which ever ones the dearest) but always feel a bit vulnerable as I cant see the joint and don't know how waterproof it is. The rest of it I can see and know its properly sealed.

Rule of thumb is the snorkel is water resistant and not water proof!

the airflow snorkel for my bighorn is listed for three vehicles oddly enough , landcruizer, pajero, bighorn, the one kit does all three, i suppose this is where they gain r and d time back, i would imagine safari have an individual kit for each and is going to be a better fit undoubtably for the extra bucks, my budget and wife dictates i have the airflow .

the air flow is a pain in the rear to fit and the worst part is that they restrict air flow... im taking mine off and fitting a piece of 3" stainless. no point losing performance.

oh well, i will just see how it goes. its my everyday car so i dont want it to look to bodged up, thats why i went for a kit rather than making one this time. in the past my rangies have been for offroad only so it didnt matter to much.
