In this video, we show you how to install a Hilux 167 Snorkel on a 3rd Gen 4runner. It’s not a very hard job but you just have to be careful and follow the steps we detail in the video on how to use the template to get the mounting holes drilled correctly.

Can you skip the stock airbox and go with straight piping ?
Don't you think it would be smart to create a more watertight seal on the air box where the flap opens up to change your air filter for deep water crossings? Im going to do my snorkel in a few days here. Just wanted to hear your word on it
The big hole what measure does it have?
I want oneeee but I don’t have a rivet gun, any workaround there?
Do you think this would work on a 96 T100 Sr5 I have the same motor but as far as body would it work?
long shot here: Do you still have the template? I found a complete used snorkel locally but the only "part" missing is the paper template. I just want to make sure I drill that first pilot hole (for the 3 1/2" hole) in the exact spot. Anyone reading this want to see me their used template?
This is such a great video, thanks for the in depth installation procedure! I was wondering if anybody knows how long the length of the 1.5" PVC pipe is (the plastic pipe that is inserted into the elbow to prevent it from collapsing)?
gotta love Jesus casually sitting in the background watching him torch away lol.
Excellent Video! Made installation on my 1998 Limited easy! Thanks so much
kinda funny how they put the red loctite in a blue bottle and the blue loctite in a red bottle
Tim, Can you please provide what pre filter kit you used for this application?
Probably a dumb question but what about going through a car wash? Will water get inside?
انور احلا معلم
Does this work for a right hand drive?
hi I saw the video as an excellent explanation
Any recommendation which snorkel I can use for Chevrolet trailblazer 2006 ?
After watching your video 5x, I recently installed my snorkel onto my 3rd gen 4runner. The snorkel to the elbow and to the air box was the biggest challenge even when I had a friend to help me out. But we got it on completely after 6hrs later haha!
Hey Timmy how do you do on a diesel 4runner because the air filter element is different
34:34 hahahahahau CHYNAH
I had ordered and installed a snorkel kit on my 2001 4runner. I seen this video when I was in the middle of replacing my core support. I had looked in side the stock intake tube (the one before the air box) there was more mud and dirt then I wanted to see, it had made its way into the air box and my truck still has the fender liners. One suggestion is to remove the corner light, you will be able to reach your hand between the fender and the rubber elbow. Made it a bit easier to help work the elbow over the airbox.
Sweet, just what i needed. Mine came in yesterday from Australia and i need to install on my 97 3rd gen. I use my bush rig here in Supernatural British Columbia Canada for wildlife photography and definitely needed. Curious, what rack your using on yer rig. I like the set up.and legth. Thanks lads, so greatful that there was an install tut.on exactly the same kit and 3rd
Thanks again for one more excellent video. I ordered a snorkel on ebay 4 days ago and it arrived from Malaysia today! Though most will install for the coolness factor, I will be mounting one to limit the dust from the backroads that I frequent… and to prevent mice (nasty, bad gollum) from crawling into the airbox to nest, tearing up the filter and choking off air intake. Will be installing shortly however I am concerned with using RTV silicone as it will make it very tough to remove the airbox like for example when routinely cleaning the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor. The video on O2 Sensor Replacement shows how to clean the MAF sensor for a 96-98 4Runner where you need to remove the airbox to get to the MAF sensor. If you are having a warm engine non-starting issue, the MAF sensor might be the culprit. Seeing how hard it was to get the airbox connection to the snorkel (Seannie's "special" technique aside), I am thinking the RTV will make a pick tool technique tres difficile. A tightened hose clamp should suffice no? Its not like the connections need to stay watertight for 15 minutes to make code. Is it possible to just cut the OEM tube to length and fit a small portion of the shortened rubber elbow as a splice between the snorkel and OEM tube? With one inch of overlap, the diameter of the splice will be maintained even under max boost (from the supercharger!) and the original design parameters for the OEM tube is maintained all the way to the snorkel. I am also wondering about attaching the snorkel with double sided tape rather than drilling rustable drill holes (rust is an issue for some of us). for example : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005SRA7X0/ref=dp_cerb_2. I know some have used the tape on the A pillar. If you have ever waded through a crossing, you will know it is water thrown around throughout the engine bay by the fan that is the real enemy and with the deckplate mod, your air intake will be just fine.
