Very few vehicles in the world command respect as the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series does. The 70 Series family, which includes 76,78, & 79 Series, is unapologetically old-school but still excels above modern cars. Whether you are using it as your daily driver or using it as a deployment vehicle in extreme terrains like Lokichar and Baragoi, the 70 Series delivers in equal prowess.
Be that as it may, the 70 Series features a distinct factory design vulnerability: the stock air intake layout. And this is why you need to install a snorkel as soon as possible.

The 70 Series (76,78,79) is meant to dominate the wilderness. Lack of a snorkel exposes the powertrain under the hood to extreme dangers. Keeping in mind the number of murram roads we have in Kenya, the factory air intake, which is located inside the front fender, draws a lot of dust, which could clog your air filter, blocking air from reaching your engine. A snorkel relocates the air intake to the roof level where it draws clean air. Clean air means your engine will have good combustion and greater performance.

The 70 Series (76, 78, 79) is an overlanding vehicle. Any off-road enthusiast will blindly pick it to go and explore the Sandy beaches in Watamu or the extreme terrains of Mt. Elgon. When overlanding, you are likely to encounter rivers and flooded roads. In such a situation, what do you do? Go back from where you came from? No. A 70 Series has a center diff-lock, high ground clearance, and 4WD; adding a snorkel allows you to effortlessly go through flooded areas or river crossings. Without a snorkel, your vehicle will ingest water, leading to Hydrolock, cracked pistons, and bent rods.
The 70 Series (76, 78, 79) comes standard with a turbocharger that relies heavily on clean air for optimal performance. Without a snorkel, contaminated air full of dust will damage the compressor blades, intake piping, and intercoolers.
