im in the market for a snorkel for my sierra i dont want a metal one, as i'd rather the snorkel get damaged instead of the cabin if a tree or the ground jumps out at it plastic would be preferred over fibreglass too.. anyhow... after some real world feed back on some snorkels, fit, finish, price ect ect anyone have any experience with this unit? seams to cheap to be good... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-4WD-Snor ... 77c&_uhb=1

i have an Airflow snorkel which works just fine... Fit is a touch off as its not designed for sierra, its for a CJ-5 or something, but it still looks reasonable:

The snorkel itself held up to a lot of abuse, but the A pillar mount was crap and busted every time I laid over on it or hit a tree with it.

are you happy with the quality of it rob? would you buy it again or spend more on a airflow? just had another look at your thread, it looks a good fit

Yeah I recommend it. Good quality But I haven't bashed it into rocks etc so I'm unsure how good it is against hits The template that come with it wasn't the best. So you have to measure 3 times and cut once

Make sure you get the right one. Because newer sierras had the blinker in the middle of the guard like mine where as the older sierras had them at the front of the guard.
