try TWL down here in dunedin if they have 1 it will cost you around $500 if not more.
the other option you have is buy a safari brand snorkle top/head and get an engineer to bend 1 up out of either stainless or mild steel all up will most probably set you back $300 odd at a guess. if you get 1 made dont pay any more than 300 tho and shop round get wirten quotes and use them as leverage against other engineers.

Found the guy on Trade me - he only has one for the Rugger... not Feroza, BUT they are both the same are they not so If I bought the one for the rugger the windscreen angle would be the same as the feroza? can anybody confirm or deny this... Thanks!

I can measure mine if you want...what side is your airbox on, the rugger is a wee bit different to the feroza...

the air box is kinda in the midle but the intake is behind the right head light looking towards the truck. so in theory the snorkle will be on the pasenger side.... I have a mate who offered to o bend one up for me just gotta supply the pipe - what pipe is best to use and what size do i need to fit the snorkel head properly?

if ya dont mind me askin how much da 1 off trademe cost fish?
n da airbox and intake is all on the passenger side of the engine bay
as for pipe size nzdncjw u'd be best to go in get the head if thats the road your gona take then get the pipe to fit failing that find some1 with the same styled head and measure theirs as for the pipe for a cost you can get stainless steel that wont rust etc or for much cheaper you can get mild steel which will rust but can be painted to stop it

well i decided to just make one i found some new 3 inch pipe {the bendy shit} 30 bucks a meter and the intake part for around 70. a lot cheeper than a bought one. now i just have to figuer out how to hook it up. and where to put the hole
any one done this whats the best way to do it one big hole saw or lots of little ones joined up.
cheers.
