😀 About VideoShowMeHow
-----------------------------------------------
⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)
⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any KZfaq fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing. Plus adds a little more personality I guess :)
New videos are being uploaded regularly so if there's something you'd like to see, have Questions and/or Comments drop me a line.
Cheers guys.

No mention of the diff, gearbox and transfer case breathers? They are the real determinants of wading depth. If they're underwater very bad things can happen. The snorkel can be as tall as you like but until you lift the breather outlets it's a complete waste of time for wading. Still ok for cleaner air tho'

Great video mate, very informative and easy to follow. Only thing is that I wouldn't want to get that particular snorkel myself, there's so much modification done to the airbox I didn't know about until now. I'll be sticking to going the stainless route, especially since Fabulous Fabrications makes theirs to use the factory airbox intake

Hey mate great video, i have a 2018,but its much the same kinda process so keen to give it a go. Did u do a leak test. Heard u cover the ram head with a rag or such and if the engine dies or loses idle speed then the sealing has been correctly done, thus reassuring that it is infact sealed for water ingress.

Good video👍🏼. When I done my pathfinder I taped the whole guard first then marked the tape with the template, then started drilling. Also, I'm assuming that the extra "spacer" that you didn't use is to go where the flare is if you have the LSM that has no flares?

Great vid as usual and very well explained. I have 1 question though… why do you recommend completely sealing the rubber duckbill drain in the bottom of the air box? Some water can and will get down the snorkel so wouldn’t leaving the factory drain as is working the same?

@VideoShowMeHow 2 жыл бұрын

Cheers mate 👍 Much prefer a proper sealed air box, in my experience those grommet let water straight back in. Get what you're saying though; one of the reasons I'm a fan of the Safari style ram head for draining water away rather than staino pipes. Each to their own though 👍

Why don`t you fit the air intake on top of the snorkel not back to front. It stops taking in water when going thru deep water when you get a bit of a head wave going. Other wise great vid. very helpful.

Hey Adam. Nice video. Question for you, what made you go the V spec snorkel over the Armax? I quite like the v spec, as the armax seems huge….and also you dont need to cut the wheel arch flare with the v spec. Secondly, did you notice any increase in noise with the snorkel fitted? Thanks

@VideoShowMeHow 8 ай бұрын

In short, it wasn't out at the time. But I think I would have still gone with the vspec, perfect size I reckon.. No real noise increase, a little flutter sometimes with the window down but nothing like the drainpipe snorkels

@gwaddy4746 8 ай бұрын

⁠@@VideoShowMeHowthanks for the reply. Good to know it doesn’t start causing horrendous noise in the cabin. Yeah I reckon I actually like the v spec more, it suits well. The Armax looks obscure and kinda oversized

@tipperarymick5337 2 жыл бұрын

Tidy job, but i don't think fitting a snorkel raises the wading depth though. After all, the air intake is already far higher than the actual wading depth. You still have to worry about the alternator, ECU and various electrics, as well as diffs.

@roryharper2563 2 жыл бұрын

I agree that big water does mean big problems. Like most new cars, if you leave it stock then the intake is going to suck it up through the smallest crossing

Snorkels dont provide any benefits re cleaner air as dmax intake is at front grill so unless you're tailgating vehicle in front dust ingress is negligible. As you mentioned ram effect is bs too. Scary drilling into new car.
