Safari Snorkels - Premium Aftermarket 4x4 Accessories
Opposite Lock Cardiff fits genuine Safari Snorkels for 4WDs. Every snorkel is Australian made, backed by a lifetime warranty, and installed by our own team, not sent out to a third-party fitter.
A snorkel does two jobs: it moves your air intake up above bonnet height for cleaner, cooler air, and it protects your engine from water and dust in deep river crossings or dusty outback tracks. Whether you’re touring, towing or driving to work through a Newcastle downpour, a properly fitted snorkel is cheap insurance for your engine.

Safari 4x4 Snorkel for MQ Triton and 79 Series LandCruiser
Our Cardiff workshop fits Safari snorkels regularly on the Mitsubishi MQ Triton and the Toyota 79 Series LandCruiser, two of the most common fitments our installers handle.
On the MQ Triton, fitting a Safari snorkel is a popular upgrade for owners towing or running aftermarket air intakes who want the factory airbox moved up out of the engine bay. Our team completes this fitting in-house.
On the 79 Series LandCruiser, fitting a snorkel is close to essential for serious touring, given how often these vehicles are used for water crossings and dusty station tracks. We fit both Armax and V-Spec options for the 79 Series, matched to your engine and how you use it.
Stainless Steel Snorkels
Looking for a stainless steel snorkel? Safari snorkels are made from Industrial Spec UV Stabilised Polyethylene, not stainless steel. If stainless steel construction is what you’re after, see our Tanami Stainless Steel Snorkels range instead.
Tips for Maintaining Your Safari Snorkel
For your Safari Snorkel to function efficiently, it needs to be serviced properly and periodically. Above all others, these are vital:
- Examine Snorkel Body and Fittings for Cracks and Leaks: Inspect the snorkel body and fittings for any cracks, which may allow water, mud, and dust to bypass the filtration system.
- Air Filter Cleaning: Cleaning and replacing the air filter will ensure the best possible performance.
- Tighten All Fittings: Take caution and check that all bolts and fittings are tight, as loose bolts will damage the snorkel during heavy vibrations.
- Check the Sealing: Cross-check that all seals are correct and intact, as this will prevent water-crossing leaks.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What's the difference between a Safari Armax and Safari V-Spec snorkel?
The Armax uses a larger 4-inch air ram for 25-70% more airflow, suited to heavy towing and high-output engines. The V-Spec uses a 3.5-inch air ram and suits most standard and lightly modified 4WDs. Both are made in Australia with a lifetime warranty.
Are Safari Snorkels made from stainless steel?
No. Safari Snorkels are made from Industrial Spec UV Stabilised Polyethylene. If you need a stainless steel snorkel, see our Tanami Stainless Steel Snorkels range instead.
