If you have a particular video you want me to make to answer a question then let me know!

Fitting a Snorkel to a Gen4 Jimny

With the Gen4 being a new Jimny and also being discontinued (hopefully temporary) in Europe, properly designed Snorkels are hard to come by. There are some "traditional" shaped ones appearing on the market from TJM and Chinese suppliers and a tubular one from Australia but only Mongolia and Brazil have snorkels shaped to match the design of the Gen4. The Brazilian ones are made for Suzuki in Brazil so are the "official" snorkel. However, Brazilian trading regulations make them hard to come by using the official channels. I have spent 6 months exploring the official route, with proper payments to Suzuki and proper export and finally got my hands on some. Here is the fitting video!
