Do you mind me asking where you purchased from and how you got it into the states?

I ended up ordering mine direct from a Toyota Genuine Parts site in AUS using the part number listed at the beginning of this thread. I also signed up for the AUS Shipping Forwarding service listed on this thread. I am in Northern CO, USA.

Toyota Site: Genuine Toyota Parts Online Australia | Nunawading Toyota
Shipping Forwarder: Mail Forwarding | Cheap Shipping | Freight Forwarder | AUSFF
- PRO-Tip, if you do use this service, wait until they email you a coupon code to setup the service for free. I set it up using “one-off usage” vs a “plan”. It was only $5 AUD (US $3.50), but they will give you a coupon to make it free.

I have no idea if this will work or what the total cost will be once I receive everything but I will update once I get updates.

Nice. Let me know if you're interested in skid plates. Can DM you details. Got a local garage to design me custom 8mm aluminum engine + transmission skids, with steel reinforcement for the vulnerable radiator bracket. Getting them installed next week. Been on edge about busting up the radiator every time I've been on the dunes. She's held up well so far but stock "skid" has been trashed Can't believe they put that soda can on the top trim for us.

What did you do with the spare - just keep it off? And what brand rubber mats did you go with?

Can I ask about that antenna and mount? Is it for a a handheld radio and if so, where did you get it?

That's a flag, for safety and visibility while out on the dunes. I was temporarily using this suction mount, but have since replaced it with a permanent mount point attached to the roof rails.

Hi. Can you confirm that the snorkel will work with the U.S. engine. All hardwares, etc all bot up. I'm planning to order one too. Thx

That’s very cool and makes perfect sense if you’re out playing in the dunes. Thanks for the reply!

Hey GarGaMel, one of the mods for this forum (@jafrush ) was able to get it on his NA LC250, and it looks like the snorkel comes with all of the necessary guides and hardware to get it installed, see the link below.

My snorkel shipped from the Toyota parts warehouse today over to the shipping forwarder in NSW, AUS. I should be getting mine in a few weeks. I will definitely post a follow-up once it arrives.
