Unfortunately is it not a straight forward solution.
The Safari website states that, for the install of the Safari Snorkel Part Number SS41HF in the VR-X, Exceed & Platinum, you will require additional washer bottle.
We believe that people have used the supplied water bottle for the windscreen washer and purchase a second aftermarket washer bottle for the headlights.
For the best advise, specific to your vehicle, we would advise that you contact a Drivetech 4x4 Authorised Stockist. All stockists can be found at www.drivetech4x4.com.au/store
All the best,

I have the '13 model
This particular Snorkel has a recommended fitting time of 150 minutes. However this can vary depending on the installer and also varies model to model.

Does this replace the existing air intake system or is it an add on to increase air flow?
Does it help the vehicle In every terrain and climate? If so which ones is it bad in?
The SS188HFG Toyota Prado 150 Series 4x4 Snorkel is designed to deliver a huge volume of the coolest and cleanest air possible into the stock air cleaner assembly of 06/2015 Onwards 2.8L Diesel 1GD-FTV engines.
With the huge air flow demands of each engine in the Toyota 06/2015 Onwards 2.8L Diesel 1GD-FTV Prado 150 Series, Safari took the decision to design a snorkel system that raised the air intake to prevent ingesting harmful elements to the vehicles air cleaner.
Huge air flow is but one aspect of the ultimate in snorkel Toyota Prado 150 Series design. The Safari snorkel air ram is designed to perform two very important roles. The most obvious is to funnel cool clean air into the snorkel body - but just as importantly, the Safari air ram acts as a highly efficient water separator to remove rain water from the incoming air stream - thus ensuring safe engine operation through even the most torrential tropical storms.
The genuine Safari Toyota Prado 150 Series 4x4 Snorkel body and air ram is manufactured to the highest standards in durable, UV stable, cross linked polyethylene material. In addition, the substantial material wall thickness delivers huge physical strength to ensure that the Toyota Prado 150 Series snorkel breezes through the toughest off-road conditions on the planet.

Safari Snorkels are vehicle specific and as the Ford Everest has only just been released in Australia a Safari Snorkel has not been released for that model yet.
Apologies for all of the questions, but this is a very rare request. We have been in touch with the manufacturer and it looks as though the snorkel for the 4x4 MQ Triton may fit, but to be 100% sure it may be best to have a look at your vehicle. Where are you located?
Hey Vas, Glad you enjoyed the video. The installation required a primer, then a coat of touch up paint and finally a coat of rust proofing liquid. All the best, The Drivetech 4x4 team.
