Safari Snorkel 200 series, Land Cruiser | 2007-15 5.7L
Pioneered in Australia roughly 30 years ago, snorkels were born out of a need to protect 4WD engines from the hazards of dust and water commonly encountered in touring and off road applications.
This is NOT a cheap Chinese made snorkel. Those kits look the same in photos, but they are cheap, brittle, not UV resistant. If you ever snag a tree or branch, its going to shatter. Then you’re going to be super bummer you drilled a massive hole in the side of your vehicle for a cheap Chinese kit you’re going to have to keep buying over and over.
Our 200 Series Snorkel systems are manufactured to the highest standards in durable, UV stable, cross linked polyethylene material and deliver a continuous and cooler supply of air for maximum engine performance. Each system includes quality fixtures and fittings, which offer superior sealing, presentation and long-term durability.
Why a 200 Series Snorkel?
Cause you never know how deep that creek is…. and once you are in, it is too late. Taking in water through the air intake can hydraulic an engine which leads to bent and thrown rods. We know this as we had our engine blow up on the way back from Rubicon once after taking an unexpected deep drop.
It also came in handy during the Top Truck Challenge hosted by Four Wheeler magazine… Rocky Road was there. We found ourselves in a swamp over 4′ deep. Our snorkel saved the day, and our engine.
Not to mention…. the judging staff thought the snorkel just plain looked awesome!
Other benefits of the snorkel are performance related. The published snorkel installations often note improved power and gas mileage after installation. This due to the ram-air effect the snorkel has on feeding your intake (kinda like how a supercharger works, only not as forceful). Your engine also breathes cooler air from outside of the vehicle which produces more efficient power.

Also Available….
-Safari Snorkel Pre-filters. Pictured below.
These excellent kits are available only thru Rocky Road Outfitters as one of the premier Safari Snorkel distributors on the planet.
Our Pre-Filters, designed to keep out larger particles of debris such as dirt and sand. Keep from getting into and clogging the pleats of air filter elements. Premature clogging of an air filter results in loss of horsepower and an increase in service intervals. The pre-filters, uniquely designed to protect your engine and the performance air filter investment. This, without sacrificing airflow or horsepower. Particles as small as .005″, filtered out extending filter life. Even in harsh conditions including heavy moisture, a Pre-filter enhances your filter’s ability to continue flowing the necessary air required for maximum performance while reducing the possibility of water ingestion into the engine. Proper use of our Pre-filter will save money on filter cleanings or replacements and extend engine life.
Snorkel Pre-Filter
The Pre-filters contain uniform micron openings, run dry. This, meaning no additional oils or additives required. Running a dry Pre-filter means there is no dirt sticking to the oil creating premature loss of airflow and horsepower. Only those particles of dirt smaller then .005″ get into the actual pre-filter, the larger particles simply fall off the pre-filter. In addition, Rocky Road Pre-filters, constructed with a woven mesh. Specially treated at the mill using a proprietary process to repel water. This hydrophobic water repellent process is not sprayed on; consequently, there is no airflow loss. Whether you use your vehicle for everyday driving, for hard core off -road racing, are weekend adventure, our Pre-filters will work for you to protect and extend the life of your performance air filter and engine.
Pre-Filters are washable and reusable.
