Had some time to install the snorkel this weekend, easier than the Hilux as the inner guard clips are a lot easier to remove.
Also carpeted one drawer, installed the water pump with a pull out tap and air compressor.

I would have been really nervous cutting into that quater panel for the snorkel.
Looks good though.

Like Tim mentioned the carpet makes a world of difference :rockon:
The TJM snorkle looks neat to mate

Nice job SS. I thought they car service centers used a hole saw to create the hole for the snorkel. I would have never thought of tin snips.
Your not wrong there, I had it all ready to drill and cut and then the Mrs comes out and says are you on the right side of the car.....thanks love. It was another 10min to triple check and then cut.
Yes they do Brad and that's what's recomended in the instructions but I find the tin snips less scary and slower.
I agree with the others, about the hole. It is not an easy feeling putting a 114mm hole saw thought the side, feels pretty violent as well. But a good job to do on your own. I never trust installers to seal it up properly.
Got to love a car build up, keep up the good work.

Have you used an aftermarket hitch? I have just put a deposit on a new 200 and trying to work out which hitch will suit the Expand better?
Just the tongue off the Hilux, I don't use any WDH. Hayman Reese make an adjustable hitch with no bars.
Looks good. Is the hitch drop the same as the WDH ones or different. I desperately need to get the hitch lower.
try and do what SS has done and get the wiring but not the hitch. It's pretty useless on the 200 especially if you lift it. Mines sitting at 600mm and that's with the lower onroad hitch. Only way the Expanda is going to work is if I weld the vans hitch to the top of the a frame.
I think it's the same as the tongue can go both ways.
As Jim said the hitch is better at the top of the A frame.
