DOBINSON 4X4 SNORKEL INSTALL HOW TO | 4TH GEN 4RUNNER

[@michaellundgren1127]

Great work, Garrett. Your video will be very helpful when I install this on my 04 4Runner. A few things worth noting for anyone planning on driving into deep water. Your snorkel is just one of a few components needed. Your differentials and transfer case have breathers on them. The factory rear diff breather sits just at that top of the diff and does a great job of sucking water into your diff. The front diff and transfer case do have breathers that sit higher, but just at the bottom of the fender level. I would highly recommend getting something like the ARB diff breather kit or something similar and position the filter/breather at the highest level possible within the engine bay. Keep up the great work, brother!

@@michaellundgren1127 great point! I ended up routing mine up to my gas cap, I shouldn’t ever be in water that high haha

The new cameras have some crisp footage bro @Garrett Logan

Just picked up my 4th gen 4.7 and found your channel. Looks like solid straight forward content. Thanks for the info

[@Garrett_Logan]

Congrats man!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Thanks! I appreciate it!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Snorkel looks dang good bro @Garrett Logan

[@Jager-er4vc]

Another great video! I’ve been waiting for this one for a while now. As you were riveting that bracket onto the A-pillar, I was like “DUDE… the tape!” Then you mentioned it right after. I literally lol’d. I love your channel my man. Keep it up!!👍🏼

[@Garrett_Logan]

Haha😂 that’s what happens when you rush! I had to make light of the situation at least😂. Thanks man!!! Sorry to keep you waiting for so long lol

[@alanobrien3138]

Congratulations on such a fast build. I started on my 2007 4 runner 8 years ago. You are catching up fast and passing me in fazes. I don’t have or no if I will ever get to snorkel. My next purchase is tabletop that mounts to rear bumper swing out. Keep it up I like watching you build a masterpiece.

[@Garrett_Logan]

Thanks! It’s a process for all of us lol. I definitely need a table that mounts to the swing out as well!

How's the body lift Holding Up bro @Garrett Logan

[@MrDuarteryb]

I have that dobindson snorkel in my 4runner and after 2 years its holding great, ❤❤

[@Garrett_Logan]

They’re great snorkels!

[@mach1john]

Always wondered why the intake end of the snorkel faces forward. Wouldn't it be better with the opening facing rearward? Granted it will look strange.

[@Garrett_Logan]

I think it’s all just placement, the intake is at the front of the snorkel so I guess that’s why they make it like that.

[@darrengeorge2308]

Snorkels head can face both ways backwards on dusty roads in a convoy or if there’s a chance of water being forced in, it faces forward so clean air is forced in better airflow

[@Garrett_Logan]

@@darrengeorge2308 oh I understand the question now. Yeah I’m in agreement☝🏿

[@AustinHarris1234]

Great video man! Thanks for the help!

[@Garrett_Logan]

You’re so welcome!

[@CallMeLogic95]

I got an 08 4runner with a snorkel pretty much exactly like this, but a different brand cause I can't afford a $400 snorkel right now, it looks literally identical to this one, do you remember the step down size adapter?? I need one those for mine

[@Garrett_Logan]

I can’t remember exactly, I just drilled till the size was right

[@brentparton1254]

Perfect timing on this video I am getting ready to install mine today. How long from start to finish do you think it took?

[@Garrett_Logan]

Sweet! It took a few hours for me, I started towards the end of the day and it got dark so I had to wait until the next day to finish

[@luismiguelramos8589]

Which bumpers did you buy?

[@Garrett_Logan]

I have the coastal offroad bumpers Discount code: Alpha7

[@HM-vu9zw]

Does the snorkel obstruct your view at all?

[@darrengeorge2308]

No not at all it’s on the A pillar so might add a few inches of blind spot nothing that impairs your site every second 4wd had one here 🇦🇺😂😂

[@Garrett_Logan]

Not at all, it blends in with the A pillar

[@mn_scoob5141]

First🤌🏼

[@darrengeorge2308]

Looking awesome mate going to beast of a yota I’m not going to be a know it all cunt but if you ever fit another or anyone asks always use a holesaw and and a body saw if you have one or a Reciprocating saw with fine cut blade as for your fastening studs always allow for movement when fitted as if studs are tight in hole they often rub and make noises so if you hear anything that’s what it will be I’m an Aussie and have worked for ARB and TJM fitting every accessory you can think of I also done my mechanics apprenticeship at Toyota if you need any help or are looking for parts I’m willing to help anyway I can mate keep it shiny side up 🇦🇺👍

[@Garrett_Logan]

Haha no worries man! I had to learn that the hard way😂 will do!

[@hybridlightsolutions6515]

Hey Darren, I'm hoping to avoid buying two new random hole saw sizes. Do you think I could just use a smaller holesaw to cut tight to the cutout pattern, and then use my body saw to follow the cut line all the way around?

[@darrengeorge2308]

@@hybridlightsolutions6515 hey mate yes that will work fine I normally use one that’s a little bigger stops any rubbing that may happen nothing worse then a squeak or rattle, file and paint edges same with bolt holes I use a step drill and drill slightly larger I test fit and try to have at least 5 to 10 mm movement when in place. Hope that makes sense and good luck 👍🇦🇺

[@hybridlightsolutions6515]

​@@darrengeorge2308 Beautiful! That's in line with what I was thinking, so that should be easy enough. I'll probably throw it on this weekend. Thank you!
