Toyota Prado 120 Series 12/2002 - 09/2009 4.0L Petrol 1GR-FE
The SS186HF & SS186R Toyota Prado 120 Series 4x4 Snorkel is designed to deliver a huge volume of the coolest and cleanest air possible into the stock air cleaner assembly of 12/2002 - 09/2009 4.0L Petrol 1GR-FE engines.
With the huge air flow demands of each engine in the Toyota 12/2002 - 09/2009 4.0L Petrol 1GR-FE Prado 120 Series, Safari took the decision to design a snorkel system that raised the air intake to prevent ingesting harmful elements to the vehicles air cleaner.
Huge air flow is but one aspect of the ultimate in snorkel Toyota Prado 120 Series design. The Safari snorkel air ram is designed to perform two very important roles. The most obvious is to funnel cool clean air into the snorkel body - but just as importantly, the Safari air ram acts as a highly efficient water separator to remove rain water from the incoming air stream - thus ensuring safe engine operation through even the most torrential tropical storms.
The genuine Safari Toyota Prado 120 Series 4x4 Snorkel body and air ram is manufactured to the highest standards in durable, UV stable, cross linked polyethylene material. In addition, the substantial material wall thickness delivers huge physical strength to ensure that the Toyota Prado 120 Series snorkel breezes through the toughest off-road conditions on the planet.
V-Spec snorkels are identified with a ‘HF’ at the end of the part number. These snorkels are manufactured in Australia from Safari’s own industrial specification UV stabilized polyethylene material. A life time warranty is included for peace of mind when it comes to your vehicle.
R-Spec snorkels are identified with an ‘R’ at the end of the part number. These snorkels are manufactured in Australia from Safari’s own recreational specification UV stabilized polyethylene material. A five year warranty is included for peace of mind when it comes to your vehicle.

Know before you buy
Before you buy a snorkel
A snorkel moves your engine's air intake up to roof height, above the dust and spray. It's a precise, vehicle-specific fit, and it won't make your vehicle waterproof.
- Made for your engine
Snorkels are made for a specific model and engine, so a Prado diesel and a Prado V6 take different kits. Check the listing against your vehicle and engine.
- Not waterproofing
A snorkel raises the air intake. It doesn't seal the engine bay or electrics, and your vehicle maker's wading depth still applies.
- Breathers too
Factory diff and gearbox breathers often sit low. Many owners raise them at the same time as fitting a snorkel.
- Which way to face it
The air ram separates rain from the air coming in. Turning it backwards in heavy dust can reduce airflow (Safari).
Common questions
Is a snorkel worth it if I don't cross water?
Many owners fit one for dust. The intake sits at roof height, above the dust thrown up on gravel roads and behind other vehicles.
Can I drive through deeper water with a snorkel?
No. A snorkel moves the air intake, but it doesn't waterproof the engine bay, electrics or driveline. Your vehicle maker's wading depth still applies.
Are factory raised air intakes the same as a snorkel?
No. Safari notes that factory raised intakes are not watertight.
Do I need diff breathers?
Factory diff and gearbox breathers are often poorly located for water crossings (ARB). A breather kit raises them so water isn't drawn in as the housings cool.
Should I use a pre-cleaner sock?
Only on dusty tracks below 40 km/h, cleaned daily, and not on the highway (Safari).
