XL-7, Vitara/Grand Vitara snorkel group buy?
« on: January 02, 2006, 07:17:39 PM »
Alright folks, I've been emailing Mick at Suziworld in Australia about the snorkel he has for the Vitara/Grand Vitara and XL-7 and am working on a group buy to get the snorkels at a discount, as well as shipping.

Solo, the snorkel with shipping is about $300.00. I'm hoping I can get five people interested in the deal and have them shipped to me in Arizona, then I would ship them out to you however you want at the actual shipping rate.

I am not looking to make any money on this, just want to get more of a discount on a snorkel.

He hasn't gotten me prices yet, but I wanted to get people thinking about it then when I hear more, I'll post here or PM those that are interested.

Happy New Year,

Jeff

you are probably already aware of this but better safe than sorry i think the snorkels you are interested in buying won't fit with the GV sporting ABS however a a 97 model hilux snorkel will fit if you use flexi hose and route it under the guards to the air box

Well got my snorkel from FTS4x4 on  ;D  The install was a little unnerving cutting a 3" hole in my zuki but other than that went smoothly.

looks good George. It fits really nicely and you didn't have to move the antenna.

A few other quick questions about your truck: tire size? are the pics with your new springs? how much ground clearance do you have under the front diff and sills? It looks awesome and quite capable.

Thanks for updating us,

Jeff

ordered my snorkel, it is on its way from Taiwan. Good find George ...

As a side note, VTTR has been tremendous to deal with - prompt, courteous attention from Margaret and extremely helpful. I highly recommend them as a vendor ...

I'll post pics when I get it installed,

Jeff
