Sierra Expeditions offers the Safari Snorkel from Australia for sale. In fact the shop owner has one on his Jeep Liberty right now. FlyingWil is his name on the boards here i believe, they are based out of Mesa, AZ.

Bud was the ring leader on my snorkel install and I was soooo glad to have his help and the other southern crew that came to my house.
I like the snorkel. Depending on the color of you liberty, it can really stand out and you get interesting comments. Some folks think it's cool, some think you are an idiot.... several have asked why a need 'that big air horn'!

I'm thinking about adding a snorkel to my Jeep too. Safari Snorkel is the way to go.

The "Sent from I-Phone" has never been an issue for me on this forum. The only time I have noticed the Iphone disclaimer is at the end of emails (And that can be taken out of the sig line in the iPhone email settings.)....... BUB..... :pepper:

But, what makes one a POS and the other OG? Ease of installation? Problems with install? Fitment? Overall quality?



mini-hi jack:
Will either of these work for a 4-barrel? Once you get thru the fenderwell, it's just different hose and 90* to the carb, right??

Both these fellas are way smart.
I'm with them on both counts.

Airflow was with us early on.
Safari was awfully late to the party.

Sounds about right,you'd have to fab up some type of air box for linkage I recon.
If you're talking V8 you might be starving it a bit with the diameter of the snork.I'd fab my own for an 8.
