cgriff Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Anybody seen one of these in the wild? https://telawei.en.made-in-china.com/product/HsUEGnYumkVJ/China-Snorkel-for-Nissan-Navara-D22-Terrano-2-Pathfinder-R50.html - $40 a piece 10 piece minimum order https://telawei.en.made-in-china.com/product/DNREMJpbJkcU/China-Telawei-Snorkel-for-Nissan-Navara-D22-Frontier.html or these might be a bit better. Not sure about fittment and quality etc. but they are cheap enough if a few of us wanted to go in and get a minimum order, we could save some money if they work out.

Sjackson2 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 What’s shipping gonna cost on those? This ones 84 and you only gotta buy one http://www.bluelakeoffroad.com/index.php?p=product&id=214&parent=97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgriff Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 can't imagine the cost of the shipping would be that great. Could be a bunch on nonsense with customs and the like. I don't see a snorkel in that link you sent... did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cruise that site they show them making them in piles laid out on the floor. I have inquired what the total damage would be to get them on the ground here in the US. We'll see. I will post it up when I get a reply. Maybe I will just become an ebay entrepreneur like all them other guys LOL. I personally would like to get an OEM one for a pattern and make a copy out of all aluminum or Stainless. That would be something.

cgriff Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 I got the quote for the landed price for these, should be about $50.00 each (Plush shipping out to whoever might be interested in one.) Depending on interest, I would be willing to take the risk and get 10 of these shipped to me here in Colorado. Let me know: Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjackson2 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 So they’d only be 50 shipped to you and then whatever to ship to people who want to pick one up from you? I might be down if I can convince the wife for that price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathyDude17 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Not to be a pain, but doesn’t it take a lot more than just a snorkel to be able to safely get up to the hood in water? I’ve heard it’s necessary to waterproof alot of the electrical components and whatnot before you can even take advantage of what a snorkel offers.

RainGoat Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Breather extensions are important for your diffs, tranny & TF case. While electrical is important, water in the air intake will ruin the engine. Snorkels are also useful at elevating the air intake out of heavy dust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zakzackzachary Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Seems like a good alternative. Does anyone know if a Grand Cherokee snorkel would fit on an R50 very well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilca Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I bought a snorkel for a Jeep Cherokee. Everything looked good, except the mount along the windshield. There is no were to fasten the snorkel. The door overhangs the windshield in this area. I would like to see a solution for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enri330r Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Some friends here in Argentina have installed navara snorkel in their r50 and others in their d21 and they work well, here they are manufactured by a local company called airflow I will buy it soon and surely make a detailed thread 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpounds Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Now that working outside weather is showing its head its time to get out there and do it. So I'd definitely like to get in on this as well, Colorado to Montana isn't too far either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd definitely like to get in on this as well, Colorado to Montana isn't too far either. Shipping to Billings from Denver would be approx. $20.00 via USPS, I can shop around the other shippers to see if we can get a better deal on final delivery. I need to pull the trigger and get these ordered before the end of the month or it may take another month to process the order due to a trade show/festival taking place next month. This could be a pressure sales tactic being applied by Mrs. Joyce at the factory and it most likely is, but if we want these for the beginning of the off-road season we better get our poop in a group. At this point I have two maybes and 1 committed, so that would leave me with 8 additional units if the maybes don't end up going through with it. Not the overwhelming response I was looking for Let me know by tomorrow and if there is enough interest, I will go or no go. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this thread: http://pcoa.org.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=911&start=170 They are still available down under but for like $250USD and shipping from oz is expensive. What is the price you will have to pay for them in Argentina? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are very nice and streamlined. Most of the ones I see are too bulky looking for me. These are sweet. Any detail on how to order would be awesome!
