The Lexus LX Series is one of the greatest transitions ever to be witnessed in the automobile industry. From the rugged LX 470, which was old school with overbuilt reliability, then came the Lexus LX 570 with absolute comfort and a powerhouse on the road; the LX 600 was subbed in, redefining what ultra-luxury actually means, and now we have the pinnacle of modern overland technology, the Lexus LX 700h, which is an absolute beauty with unapologetic road presence.
However, behind the scenes, there is one vital component that has played a significant role in enhancing the reliability, durability, and performance of each Lexus LX. That component is a snorkel. A snorkel is like salt. Its presence is not felt, but its absence makes everything tasteless.

It may look destructive to cut a hole into the fender of a luxurious SUV, but if you plan to use it for overlanding, that no longer becomes a need, but rather a necessity. The Lexus LX is a formidable off-roader. It features a locking differential, 4WD, and massive torque. Adding a snorkel allows you to go through flooded roads or river crossings without any kind of worry. Without a snorkel, water is likely to get into your engine, destroying the piston rods and the engine block. This is because the factory air intake is located in a lower position on the front fender.

Most of the Kenyan roads are covered in murram, meaning driving on such terrain risks your air filter because a lot of dust will definitely clog it, thereby blocking air from reaching the engine. Adding a snorkel takes the air intake to the roof height level, allowing it to draw clean and cooler air for better combustion, resulting in excellent fuel economy.

A snorkel complements the bold and imposing appearance of the Lexus LX. If you have accessories like a bull bar, a side awning, a roof rack, and a rooftop tent installed, now that is a proper off-roader.
