Does anybody know of a company out there that makes a snorkel for the Samurai? I was hoping ARB did but, have been told no. :-\ Anybody else know?

Just for you. http://www.rocky-road.com/zuksnorkle.html
I pulled this from the article "Samurai snorkels are distributed exclusively thru Rocky Road Outfitters and imported direct from Australia. You will not find these snorkels for sale at any other Suzuki shop or ARB dealer."

too bad the link says "temporarly out of production"(right under the price of $299.00 :o)
i'v seen ones made out of black abs, that actually look pretty good 8)

Or make one yourself, like i did ( just have to figure out an airfilterhouse off of which I can take the front when driving on the road)
Pipe is 3" exhaustpipe with Stainless 90 ° bends ( one of which was cut up to make the 2 short bends ). 3" because of the airvolume for the SuperCharger.

A friend of mine ( Mark ) works |removethispart|@ www.offroadcentre.nl and sells a snorkel for the Samurai, don't know the brand. Maybe you can contact him and ask.

I could build one. I just haven't found a good way (i.e. decent looking) method to build the top part of the snorkel and set up a pre-filter. I thought about putting a K&N on the end and just using it as a pre-filter. Any other ideas?
-
I found an Aussie company that sells the top part/pre-filter that you can put on your own snorkel. Try this http://www.uniflow.com.au/droopie.asp and see if it's what you want.

I built one out of black ABS pipe... it is 3 inch, it isn't installed yet because I can't figure out how I want to do it just yet. But it looks nice and my favorite part is everything is from home depot, cheap and replacable. So if you roll, or crash, or whatever you can snap a new piece in with no cutting. Another reason I havn't installed it yet is because i can't decide if I should remake it with 2inch pipe... anyways.
peace
i'll post a pic when i'm done.

I saw an ad for a "snorkel-hoodie" in an Aussie 4X4 mag, fits over the snorkelmouth. Mailed them for info and postage, never received an answer >:(, might try the"droopie"-company.

It looks like they sell a pre-filter but, not the ram. That is the part I am really trying to find. :-\
-
The air ram can be bought directly from ARB. It's a 3" diameter where it connects

I used PVC, I think it turned out great!

How did you attach it, what did you use at the top and at the bottom? Also, i've noticed many people turn the "ram" or intake to face the rear while other face it forward... whats your take on this?

I hopped from one board to another to find the same pics (http://www.motor-forum.nl/forum/images/smilies/schater.gif)(http://www.motor-forum.nl/forum/images/smilies/schater.gif)

I did forget to mention you must relocate the battery ::)
-
Hmm, I still don't really see what is going on there. How is the snorkle connected to the body in the upper secion, by the roof and windshield?
What is the large metal box?
I have a kick so its was diff on the inside. I just wanted to see where you mounted it, but looks like you did a lot more... did you install a snorkle at the same time?

How did you run the intake? I also have a 16V but the intake is on the opposite side.
