I have a Safari Snorkle on mine,cost $508 to buy and $120 to fit, I really think that was way to pricey , Mick ( Fusion ) has done a really nice Snorkle out of Stainless Steel Tube and some Silicone elbows which I think cost him around $150 . send him a PM.:cool:

I've got a Safari on mine

Swapped it over from my old Landy. So would be a few years old by now and its survived a rollover

I think its what ever you think looks best and how much you want to spend, like ARB vs TJM, Holden vs Ford :p

Heres my tutorial on fitting a Safari

Gday Ryan

I bought mine through these guys 4WD Systems | Snorkels | Gear to Goannawhere (http://www.4wdsystems.com.au/index.php?id=36) also got the cargo barrier as well.

I think from the pics it is the same as this one Snorkel Kit Land Rover Defender 300 Tdi & TD5 - Airflow Snorkel Kits for 4x4, SUV and 4WD off-road vehicles, Parts and Accessories - Jeep, Toyota, Nissan, Land Rover Discovery, Defender, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Ford, Holden, Mazda, Kia (http://www.snorkels.com.au/p/530982/snorkel-kit-land-rover-defender-300-tdi-td5.html).

It's not a bad snorkel for the price and was very easy to install.The Safari is a much better looking and most likely better built/quality.

But as long as its sealed and does its job who cares.

You can have a look at mine when you have a look at the crab bar before you make up your mine if you want Ryan.

P.s Snorkel cost me $315.00 plus freight but I also got the barrier at the same time and both with freight was $707.00 to my door.That was over a year and a half ago so I would image prices have changed.

I have a safari on my defender. I had another one fitted first but it interfered with the mirrow arm. Had to reset the mirrow if you opened the door fully. The safari has a dint in it to stop interfering with the mirrow.

Home made can be good but some look cr.p.
