Safari ARMAX Snorkel SS79HPV
Increased Airflow for the 4.5L V8 Diesel
The Safari ARMAX snorkel is engineered for compatible Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series Wide Front models powered by the 4.5L V8 1VD-FTV diesel engine, covering the specified 03/2007 to 2023 applications.
Its traditional 4 inch air ram features an optimised airflow design and low restriction grille. Safari specifies a 100% increase in airflow compared with the standard air intake assembly, making it an option for owners building a touring or work vehicle with suitable performance modifications.
Engineered for Demanding Australian Conditions
The ARMAX snorkel combines raised air intake positioning with a water separating air ram designed to remove water and dust from the incoming airstream. Stainless steel hardware and an EPDM moulded rubber connection hose support a durable, vehicle specific installation.
Safari has tested and approved the snorkel on its in house 1200 CFM airflow bench. The system is rated to withstand temperatures exceeding 100°C and is designed, moulded and manufactured in Australia.
Safari V-SPEC Snorkel SS79HFD
OE Focused Airflow and Intake Protection
The Safari V-SPEC snorkel is designed for compatible Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series vehicles with the 4.5L V8 1VD-FTV diesel engine.
Featuring a traditional 3.5 inch air ram with an optimised, low restriction grille, the V-SPEC is tested against original equipment airflow requirements. Its raised intake helps reduce the risk of dust and water entering the air intake system when correctly installed and sealed.
Durable Construction for Touring and Off Road Use
The V-SPEC includes stainless steel hardware, an EPDM moulded rubber connection hose and a water separating air ram. Safari specifies a temperature rating exceeding 100°C and a lifetime warranty.
For remote touring, work vehicles and off road builds, the V-SPEC offers a practical raised air intake solution designed around the vehicle’s original intake requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between the Safari ARMAX SS79HPV and V-SPEC SS79HFD?
The ARMAX features a traditional 4 inch air ram and Safari specifies a 100% airflow increase over the standard intake assembly. The V-SPEC features a traditional 3.5 inch air ram designed to match original equipment intake requirements. Your choice should reflect your engine setup, modification plans and intended vehicle use.
Which LandCruiser 70 Series models do these snorkels suit?
The supplied fitment information specifies Wide Front Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series models from 03/2007 to 2023 with the 4.5L V8 1VD-FTV diesel engine. Compatibility across 71, 73, 75, 76, 78 and 79 Series variants must be confirmed against the individual vehicle configuration.
Does the ARMAX snorkel guarantee a power increase?
Safari specifies a 100% increase in airflow over the standard air intake assembly. This is an airflow specification, not a guarantee of additional engine power. Actual performance depends on the engine, tuning and other vehicle modifications.
Does a Safari snorkel make the LandCruiser waterproof?
A snorkel raises the intake and helps separate water from incoming airflow, but it does not make the entire vehicle waterproof. Correct installation and sealing are essential, and safe water crossing limits depend on the vehicle and its other components.
