Safari Snorkel confirms snorkel for 4th-gen coming

This is taken from a recent post on tr4.org from 4WDToyotaOwnerMag publisher Dave. Which I hope should have some creditability. His post is below.

I've confirmed via ARB management that ARB/Safari Snorkel are releasing snorkels for both 3rd and 4th-gen 4Runners at long last.

No release date yet nor do I have pics as of yet. I was emailed and told an Aussie engineer is coming over here in a couple of weeks for test fitments. We hope to be part of that; if we are, I will post photos and info at that time.

With a 2004 Limited in our stable I'm super jazzed for this. Hope to have more good news soon. Cheers,

Lets hope its true as I would most likely be purchasing it. I believe the publisher of Toyota 4WD magazine has a white 4runner 4th gen that he features new things being installed on it in every Toyota 4wd magazine issue. Last issue he installed a CBI hybrid rear bumper. If it comes out I am pretty sure he will feature and do a writeup on the the snorkel install.

Very cool. I'm surprised but happy that they are doing a 3rd gen one as well. They've had one for the Tacoma for a while, but the fitment was tricky on a 4runner. I hope that the third gen is a reality as well.

Nothing tricky about the 3rd Gen at all, simply use the Tacoma snorkel (fits fender 100%) and buy the fender duct tubing and antenna from the Tacoma. Perhaps they are doing a snorkel that doesn't require a replacement antenna i.e. allows use of the factory power mast?




I'll be really curious to see when these come to fruition, I was told they were on the radar but nothing on the calendar which. Interpolate that with the new Tacoma snorkel, we've been hearing it was "in the works for ~6 months", debuted at SEMA a few weeks ago and might be available as soon as Spring 2015. To me "on the radar" is at least 1 year out? Time will tell :D

Recently I was at a grand opening of a Jeep store here in Miami. I spoke with Eric of ARB he was telling me that the 2nd gen Tacoma units will be for sale very soon.
I wonder if in August they'll have the Tacoma units as well..?
