Great to see someone who really takes pride in their work and knows what they are doing.👍

Good thinking with the ram head really sets off the old school look of the patrol and makes it unique loved this build series!

Looks killer 👌👌

The snorkel looks sick

I think it looks rad, Jeff is a true craftsmen, you can really see how much pride he takes in his work.

I like the ram head style over the backward facing open style. Added bonus with yours is that it can be rear facing in 30 seconds with a screwdriver.

Honestly looks damn good, kind of hoping to see a full ebay 12v masterclass on this build at some point

12V setup soon to come!

Your rig your rules mate. Nice work and great to see using local tradies too

Great to see support a local company and keep Aus small business growing. A credit to all involved.

I reckon it looks good. Certainly very well made. I reckon you need a Donaldson rubber vacuator drain in the bottom of the airbox because as good as those Safari Armax heads are of ejecting rainwater they will still let some water through into the filter housing & that needs a place to drain to & out. I was recently in my VDJ79R airbox with Safari Armax snorkel & you could see where rainwater (could have been from hose washing the car too) had run into it through the dust in the intake tract.

Thanks dusty! I'll keep an eye on it and can always add a drain in the future!

Love watching skilled people doing great work. Steve

The patrol looks beautiful in person, should be happy with the result with all the work put into it 👍

Looks great! I made my own stainless seamless snorkel not long ago (I have a full heavy diesel workshop and light fabrication tools at my disposal) and the amount of work that goes into it is mental! The good workmanship speak volumes!

You have absolutely nailed it with this snorkel. Traditional style ram head on a modern intake tube...love it. Well done😊

You guys could literally run these videos as tv shows

The snorkel looks great, fantastic fabrication work, you should be very proud of the build so far. 👍

Very sensible and practical reasons for your choice of snorkel style. It suits your GQ well. Another top notch episode. 👍

What you have done to the patrol is amazing man it’s coming up a treat.

Love how practical you are mate that and the not caring what anyone else thinks love it keep posting these awesome modifications man good job

Snorkel looks absolutely mint boys!! Well done! Rig is really coming together

Your rig is now looking as "sharp as a rat with a silver tooth" well done , it is always great when all the work comes together

Top work! Also, always good to support your local shops.

Some quality craftsmanship right there. Looks spot on.

Jeff did my snorkel and air box on my ranger, his work is truly amazing!!

I LOL when he described his first snorkel....looks awesome...I want one now!!!!!

That looks beautiful. I think a more bling stainless finish would have looked out of place on the patrol. Good choice. You've helped me make up my mind - plastic all the way with the long, front mount arrangement to minimise the noise. I do not want extra noise!

I did the same with the snorkel on my 95 series Prado. Works a treat.

awesome build guys... love the snorkel, looks great on the old GQ.

Love it mate. Good tough look, prefer ran head than rear entry. What I wanted to do on my old GQ.

Yeah, every time I see a rear entry stainless one, it just kind of looks 'unfinished', like they got it functional and then just left it.

Looks good mate, I agree with the old school look with the new school tech. Tuff Ute, love the build

Good job n vid, the snorkel looks great & u made a lot of good choices with the uni air filter & breathers as well. I like the ram air look, with the added ability to turn it 180 if u want in hi dust or rain situations. Agree with ur take on the sound issues too. Cheers

Love Aussie Arvo ep"s. Real. You've done nice work on this build. Credit to yourself and those around you

Looks great, think you've achieved the style you were aiming for.

I like that you are making the decisions for your truck Looks great.

Great job, great car! Love your genuine enthusiasm young fella. You and your brother make me feel this country is in good hands. 🙏👍

forward facing snorkels dont restrict the motor at all and offer a very mild ram air effect. barely noticable for your day to day driving. but they also collect more dust, bugs and tree litter(from 4wding out bush). last filter i swapped out on mine was chocked with dust and had twigs and leaves from my camping trips. i have since switched my snorkel to rear facing just to keep the filter cleaner for longer. those riv nuts are an awesome thing to add to the tool box. can get them from bunnings at a decent price. love them.

Looks good. I have actually been looking to do the same on my old cruiser.

Nice, looks good 👌 Aside from styling preference, the ram head also does a great job of keeping rain out of intake too.

Was a big reason why I went with the ram head!

You've got my vote. I've been running a stainless 4" with a ram head on my GU for a few of years now. Looks great and works really well. Great workmanship in the build.

Job done right. No water getting in there . Awesome job JefFab.

Love it mate. I think the snorkel is the best of both worlds myself. Looks cool but still has the benefit of the safari head.

That's really nice Cobra snorkel! JEF FAB is brilliant! Good people are always on eastern side!

Looks great mate. Dont think there will be many haters with that mint job 👌

ram head with staino looks great, good combo with benefits of both. Great work by Jeff!

awesome diff breather kit and recovery points!

Stainless snorkel with the ram head it a great combo. I made a long entry style for my GQ a few years ago. Works great, and you can always flip the ram head backwards to hear the difference between a forward facing and rear facing snorkel

Absolutely amazing snorkel...never seen or heard of something better

I concur looks awesome 😎 thanks for sharing the build.

We use a flat panel unifilter in our 200 and it stops even the finest dust. Carry a spare set of foam for when you need to change out if in dusty conditions and we use Penrite foam filter oil in a spray can after a clean. That is a nice job he did it looks mint.

Looks great. Great install

Southdown snorkels in the UK have been doing what you've had built for years and they are just so cool.😎

Jeff is a welding wizard. Looks awesome!

I love it combining new and old together looks mint

Looks wicked mate, that Patrol looks fantastic. Great work

i like it mate. I like the ram head as apposed to the straight out square end you see others have with the stainless snorkels

The vibe is perfect, old school with new school. Love it

Looks mint. Suits it’s style even better seeing it in person today. Love this Gq and makes me want to buy one 😊

Only minutes into this video and already excited, hate stainless snorkels but only because of the head. Ive been wanting for years the exact design you're going with to start becoming the new mainstream!

Finished video, love it. The only change id have gone with is the Raptor coat or similar, so it had the same finish as the Snorkle head. But still love her!

Love the hybrid snorkel. Best of both worlds.

I’d prefer the look of that over anything else - suits the build, done well!! Looking forward to seeing a some videos on the tracks with Patrick’s 80. Won’t be caught up on them spring hangers anymore haha.

Love the look. When I take the plunge will consider this option as am not a fan of the other stainless options.

From start to finish, great work all the way. Looks the goods.

The rig looked Awesome yesterday at the 4WD Show 👍

Looks good. I like it with the ram head. Great workmanship by Jeff. Those recovery points will look like bananas the 1st time you use them in a heavy recovery. Cheers

Love the snorkel. Wish I knew that could be done, I would have done the same

Mate looks awesome!! Imo the perfect combination between form and function

Come up looking great. Not a big fan of stainless snorkels but with the ram head, I don't mind it. Don't worry about what people say, it's your build, do whatever you want👌

When you start this sort of project the important thing to remember is it’s for you to enjoy and at the end of the day that’s all that matters but yes you have turned an old machine in to a great looking go anywhere rig well done 👍🏻

I actually dont mind it. Really does suit the look of the ute. Jeff did a great job, good to see someone take pride in their work.

Nicely done! Quality fab work.

Looks great, would be interesting to see a ram head same material and finish to tie in 😮

The right choice with the ram head. I've got the same setup. Get a wing nut on the railhead clamp so on the very dusty trips spin it around.

Looks absolutely mint, went pretty much same with my GQ custom from Millweld. Short entry looks heaps better and makes more sense. . Just watch the rain had a heap in mine with a killer storm, wind musta been in perfect direction all night and filled right up, that was with ram head too. Do have a drain on bottom of airbox but was closed damitt. .

Saw the patrol at the 4x4 show yesterday, whole car looks sick but the snorkel isn’t for me, but over all you’ve done well 🤙

Looks bloody good, have already look into Jeff's fab customs page.

Definitely the right choice, modern airflow with old school look. Beautiful GQ

This patrol is like a modern look on an old farm truck/ute looks sick!

The ram head looks sweet mate , its angle matches the bottom angle really well 👌

Looks great. Get the pre filter for the head as well if you decide to do some dusty tracks.

Donaldson cyclonic clear bowl pre filters work heaps better. Just make sure you buy the correct size for your engines max. RPM CFM airflow or they won't work properly.

​@@dustyfarmer110% correct!

Looks good sounds great. It's more of a deep growl then anything else.

I like it, I'll be getting Jeff to do mine as well...

I reckon the snorkel looks wicked. Its 100% got to be the coolest GQ on youtube Liam, keep up the good work mate!

That is exactly the style of snorkel I want on my GU ❤

I think that snorkel is perfect! I normally prefer Safari style for the ram and have always not been a fan of stainless but this is absolutely the best design I've seen. Perfect blend of tech. Cheers Steve

It looks so good ! Love the rams head

Looks insane mate, well done. 👏🏻🤙🏻

Mate I'm going the other way with mine all stainless with the intake facing across the roof but I reckon yours looks sweet!

Looking mean n' keen Liam. Ya looking proud as you should mate. Enjoy 😉

You've done a great job on the patrol mate, she looks neat as😎👍

Looks absolutely awesome boys! Missed out on the huge hill test but! Would be good to hear what it sounds like under load up hill ooft love it

Hi. I think this looks great. More importantly though it's what you want and was made by someone who's clearly very good at their job and has made a great quality piece that should last a very long time. Well done you. Well done Jeff.

That looks mint! Love the ram head!👌

I love it. I've never really got stainless snorkels. I would have run the sticker lower (or not at all) very curious as to not running the pipe higher on the windscreen frame. Does the ramhead now catch your eye while driving? Plus, the angle of departure looks different/weird from side one. That could be just me not having a dig

I actually got to have a sneak peak at the snorkel between the powder coat and install, Jeff is a good bloke, he custom made mine to fit around the other mods that I have. Highly recommend to anyone in Vic looking for a good priced staino

Good choice with the ram head. Looks good

Looks better than most stainos out there, also won't get rain down it when its parked.

love the ram head nice job

Hate it? Nooooo it looks and sounds amazing! Great choice! Love it. 👌👌👌

Air-Ram Snorkel heads are the best of both worlds. They have retro-style and are functional. In situations where you want to reduce particulate ingress, you can add a sock or rotate the snorkel backwards.

Those ram heads work best ejecting dust facing forward. Reverse them in falling snow so they don't clog up or suck plenty in turning to it water.

Mate, glad you just did what you wanted. Makes it unique.

Looks great. I’m not a fan of staino snorkels, but urs has come up a treat 👍🍻🎯
