Snorkel Suggestions

[craigw]

HI
Looking for a Snorkel for the D2 , am in sydney , any suggestions as to type brand and a installer would be highly appreciated or could i install it myself?

Safari brand snorkel available from any ARB store is, in my opinion, the best looking one for the D2. ARB will also install them for you.

If you're handy with the tools, it wouldn't be too difficult to do it yourself. Just make sure that you get the installation template so that you know exactly where to cut holes before you go doing anything that you can't correct.

my preference is the airtek, i dont like the huge head on the safaris. Took me about n hour or so to do as i measured twice to cut once. It is a bit scary leaning into the guard with a 76mm hole saw!

I went with Safari mainly due to quality and reputation; didn't want to risk anything when it came to water and my Td5.

I have almost zero diy aptitude but installed it myself with assistance of a mate (did his as well - D1). Straight forward, logical process. Spent the $$ to buy the right hole saw, don't skimp on the sealant and consider pulling the airbox out and sealing up the 'duck-bill' on the bottom and other entry points. If you diy, polish the panel first.

Do not be tempted by the cheap $195 coloured samples in some magazines, inferior plastic.

Be aware of this potential problem. In particular, read that post by Isuzurover.
