Cheaper Snorkels
Hi Chaps,
Now that I am the proud owner of 2 Trol Pick-Ups I would like to fit them both with snorkels. I found an add on gumtree for snorkels for just under 2k delivered. I phoned & enquired & they can get for the GU patrols. I did stress that I need them for the 2007 model pick-ups, non-turbo'd trols. They apparently come with all fasteners, clamps, plumbing, templates etc. We don't need to go swimming with the vehicles it is more for sucking clean, dustless & grass seed free air from higher up. It is very tempting as I can kit both bakkies with a snorkel for the price of kitting one out with a name brand unit. Does anybody have any experience with these kits? Apparently the price is low as they are trying to get their name out there.
Your inputs will be greatly appreciated.
Keep well.

Re: Cheaper Snorkels
I have just bought a snorkel for R1900 and would suggest that you use these guys if you want to do cheap Chinese as their quality is good and they have a good reputation on the Community4x4 forum. Piet Petoors

Re: Cheaper Snorkels
Have they proven the test of time.
DIe son slaan plastiek stukkend en hy kraak.
Hoe weet jy hierdie een gaan so lank hou soos die Safari?

Re: Cheaper Snorkels
Op die Community4x4 forum is daar 'n paar manne wat die ou se snorkels al langer as 3 jaar gebruik sonder probleme , maar ja ons sal maar kyk hoe gaan dit want ek weet party van die Chinese goed is junk. Die snorkels is ook getoets by die Universiteit van Stellenbosch - UV-test
My indruk van die kwaliteit is dat dit baie goed is en ek sal dit aanbeveel

Re: Cheaper Snorkels
LOBO se snorkel is van Piet Petoors -- TSESSEBE se snorkel is op bestelling van PietPetoors -- en die PRADO yota se snorkel is ook van PietPetoors [4x4 direct]

Re: Cheaper Snorkels
