Anyone install a snorkel for a 2016-2017 GX? Does the prado snorkel fit?

You are going to sink the new 2017 Luxury Go for it. I am just surprised with the other options that you own

Can't you just go internal if you must?

In theory it should work. The fenders of the Prado 150 are really close. A bunch of guys with GX470s run Prado 120 snorkels and they fit perfectly.

Safari Snorkel using a Prado 150 version
View this post on Instagram
Lookup "Sutnaipics" on instagram. He has a Silver GX460 with a lot of nicely done mods.
I don't know if he is on any of the forums, but you could reach out to the owner of that GX.

Edit: It looks like I can't directly link to instagram

Water leakage. No problem, just use this to fill the leaks.

Does anyone have the link to the GXOR page regarding the snorkel that metaltech was clearing out? This was about 2 months ago.

"Required some modification to the truck to fit a Lexus GX460.



Snorkels are an excellent way to protect your four wheel drive's engine. The higher air intake gives you the combined benefits of cooler & cleaner air intake, safer water crossings and increased airflow for improved performance.

4WD's fitted with Ironman 4x4 Snorkels benefit from increased airflow to the engine and a raised air intake to minimse the chances of water ingress.

These snorkels are manufactured from high quality materials which are UV resistant to increase longevity, plus a built-in rain deflector to stop water getting in during heavy downpours. All built to Australian standards.

Designed to fit neatly and snugly to the contours and air box configuration of individual vehicles, with full installation instructions and template included, be sure to check that you are ordering correctly for your vehicle make, model and build date."
