LC 200 Snorkel

[JETnomads]

Hi Kimbo.

You say the snorkels are being shipped tomorrow?

To where? ARB? We are still minus one and ARB/Fleetfit in Brisbane (Enoggera) had no idea a fortnight ago when there will be any.

Very interested to hear more about this.

Cheer

Hi Jody

I have heard allthough only still a rumour that this is the case and the source from whom the rumour come from is probably the most reliable source to date and he does have a lot to do with safari. this is what he sent to another forum

I just walked past several hundred SS87HF boxes being packed in the new factory. I'm told that they should be shipping to ARB HQ on Tuesday and from there to their other stores. Been a while coming I can tell you

And for those who will be installing yourself the instructions are at http://www.safarisnorkel.com/guides/TOYOTA/ss87hf/ss87hf.htm It's a straight foward install with no tricky bits. The only thing to look out for is to make sure that you do not have any mounting studs touching any panel metal._________________

My vehicle is going in for the ARB 200kg constant 50mm lift + the GVM upgrade of 280KG that ARB have succesfully arranged with the suspension upgrade on Monday the 22nd and I believe that my Snorkel maybe there for fitment as well I'm hoping so, my aftermarket fitment specialist is USUALLY very reliable LOl.

Thanks Kimbo, let us know when you find out more please. Don't suppose you have heard any rumors about half cargo barriers as well have you.

Eric was very interested to hear about your upgrade.

Cheers

not a problem and I have a 1/2 cargo barrier fitted in the car as well but depends on what you are asking re the 1/2 cargo barrier mine is the 1/2 one that fits in with the drawer system ???

maybe worth a call to me you have my no handy?

Should still have your number ... will give you a call in a couple of days.

And yes, we want one to go with the draws. Have Black Widow draws installe.

Hi all

Here is the 200 with the OME suspension ugraded to a 50mm lift 200kg constant suspension upgrade + polyair bags fitted and I can tell you the ride is firmer but this suits me and I am very happy with the end result.I have taken away that nose down effect that was common in the 100 and the 200.

I am yet to investigate further the 280 kg GVM upgrade above standard that has been negotiated with the authorities by ARB by the fitment of this suspension and I believe that all I need to do is go to an engineer and get the car inspected and notify the authorities with a certificate and the insurance co and all will be legal then.

I had the Safari Snorkel also fitted today and it is big but IMO looks great and suits the car

One thing I have noticed straight away re the snorkel after fitment was the drop in the temp of the intake air which prior to fitment ran at about 15 deg above ambient and after fitment is running around 5 deg above ambient now these figures all are obtained using the "scanguage" which connects to the computer on the car giving readouts of what the motor is doing.

Hi Kimbo,

Looks pretty "schmick". The snorkle does look a bit big but I think its just that way to fit the design of the 200. Does the job and that's the most important thing. (Cars & vans are money pits !!)
