The following are a combination of the directions from Safari Snorkels, my input and photographs I took as I progressed through the installation.

My Disclaimer:

I am not recommending you use these instructions to install a snorkel on your vehicle. My advice is to take your vehicle to an authorized dealer and have the snorkel installed by a professional.

The following is simply a documentary of how I installed my snorkel. If you decide to purchase and install a snorkel and end up butchering your car... it's your fault...

Take it to an authorized dealer!

That said... if you are a club member, obviously I'll help you...

The first thing anyone should do is put on safety glasses and leave them on!

1. REMOVE: Left hand front wheel arch liner.

(Just use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the little plastic things. You'll need a small torx for the three bolts on the wheel well.)

REMOVE: The air entry duct.

(Two nuts, no biggie)

2. Tape the template to the upper rear corner of the left hand guard. Using a felt tip pen mark the hole positions on the guard, remove template.

(Easy... just make sure you have it on perfectly)

3. Drill a 4.5mm pilot hole for each hole position.
Using the step drill, drill the 6 snorkel mounting holes to 16mm, drill the two main holes to 70mm with the hole saw. Mark a straight line top and bottom between the two holes, cut away the remaining piece of panel between the two holes using the air hacksaw. Deburr and paint all holes.

(Now you can see from the pictures, I didn't go in the order the directions said; I wanted to cut the big holes first! After I drilled all of the pilot holes, I started with the hole saw. It's damned scary to go at your $40 thousand-dollar car with a 2-3/4" hole saw... but what the hell...)

(I also do not have an air hacksaw; hence, I used my Dremel with a cutting wheel.)

(I am also without a step drill, so I used several bits, increasing in size as I went, to get the holes drilled to 16mm.)

(I used the Dremel to clean up the holes.)

4. Place the inner template over the air entry duct mounting studs. Using a felt tip pen mark the hole position, remove template and drill a 4.5mm hole, deburr and paint hole.

(Move the brake fluid reservoir to drill easier)

5. Bolt upper mounting bracket to the snorkel body, screw the 6 mounting studs into the snorkel body inserts, position air entry adapter into position in the inner guard, carefully position the snorkel body onto the guard, guiding the snorkel snout into the air entry adaptor. Fasten snorkel body to the guard with a couple of nuts and washers. Ensure that all mounting studs have adequate clearance to mounting holes. (filing of holes to gain clearance may be necessary).

6. Holding the air entry adaptor in position, mark the hole position through the inner guard onto the adaptor, remove snorkel body, air entry adaptor from vehicle. Drill the hole position marked on the air entry adaptor to 4.5mm.

7. Apply a liberal amount of sensor safe silicone sealant to the sealing surface of the air entry adaptor, install the air entry adaptor into position and secure using pop rivet supplied.

8. Apply a liberal amount of sensor safe silicone sealant around the end of the snorkel snout and air entry adaptor inlet. Carefully position the snorkel body onto the guard, guiding the snorkel snout into the air entry adaptor. Using necessary hardware secure the snorkel body to the guard. Apply more sealant if required to ensure the snorkel snout to inner guard has a water tight seal.

FAILURE TO USE A SENSOR SAFE SILICONE SEALANT WILL CAUSE SENSOR CONTAMINATION.

9. Line the upper mounting bracket up with the inside edge of the plastic ‘A’ pillar moulding (to achieve bracket to moulding edge alignment...

... the top of the snorkel body may need to be pushed toward the ‘A’ pillar) mark the 4 hole positions on the ‘A’ pillar moulding, remove bracket and drill a 4.5mm hole for each hole position.

10. Re-fasten upper mounting bracket onto the snorkel body, fasten upper mounting bracket to the ‘A’ pillar using pop rivets supplied.

11. Install air ram assembly to snorkel body and fasten. Refit wheel arch liner. Refit air entry duct.

Sealing of ALL air ducting joints, air cleaner housing entry snout and air cleaner housing drains is at the owners/installers discretion.

I purchased my snorkel here: 4X4 Connection

It took me about an hour and half to two hours to install it. Much of the time was spent gathering up the stones to drill holes in my car, but in the end, I think it adds a lot to the vehicle... besides... it looks cool.
