Primarily designed to protect your engine from water and dust infiltration, a snorkel extends the air intake point of your vehicle to a higher position on the vehicle&#8217;s body, typically near the roof. Here&#8217;s why a snorkel is a significant benefit for your 4&#215;4:<\/p>\n<p>1. Water Crossing Confidence: When traversing deep water crossings or fording rivers, a snorkel allows your 4&#215;4 to breathe without the risk of water entering the engine. This prevents hydrolock, a potentially catastrophic condition where water enters the engine cylinders, causing severe damage.<\/p>\n<p>2. Dust and Debris Mitigation: When off-roading in dry, dusty conditions, a snorkel helps keep your engine&#8217;s air supply cleaner. By drawing air from a higher and cleaner location, it reduces the chances of clogged air filters and engine damage due to dust and debris ingestion.<\/p>\n<p>3. Enhanced Engine Performance: With a steady supply of clean, cool air from a snorkel, your engine can operate more efficiently. This can result in improved horsepower, torque, and fuel efficiency, especially in challenging off-road conditions.<\/p>\n<p>4. Extended Engine Lifespan: Protecting your engine from water, dust, and other contaminants can significantly extend its lifespan, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements over time.<\/p>\n<p>5. Versatility: Snorkels are not just practical; they also enhance the rugged appearance of your 4&#215;4, adding to its overall aesthetic appeal.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, a snorkel is an essential accessory for any serious off-roader. It ensures your 4&#215;4 can handle water crossings and dusty trails with confidence while simultaneously improving engine performance and longevity. <\/p>\n<p> The kit comes complete with all the screws, brackets, pipes and a template which you will need to fit the snorkel. <\/p>\n<h2>Specifications<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand<\/th>\n<td>D.A.G<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>SKU \/ model<\/th>\n<td>4X4WASNHXVIG<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Made for<\/th>\n<td>Toyota Hilux, Toyota Fortuner<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Warranty<\/th>\n<td>Manufacturer&#039;s warranty (see our Returns page)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Fitment<\/h2>\n<p>Supplied for fitting by you, your mechanic or a 4&#215;4 fitment centre.
