The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

3" aluminum. 2-90* bends cut and Tig welded on to make the curves then cut a piece of aluminum plate and welded it onto the end that goes into the body. Drilled holes through it and the fenders and bolted it on so I guess that would be considered the mount. Then welded a piece of aluminum angle at the top and used self tapping screws into the pillar to brace it.

Its insane to spend $400 on plastic when this snorkel is WAY more stout and looks WAY better(my opinion.. Some people hate it) and only cost me about $50 to build.

I had a buddy who works at a car get me the 2-90 bends for free since they were scrap so that probably saved me a little bit but still.

Plus this snorkel I can mount on any fender or vehicle really. Its not molded just to one style of fender which means I can reuse it.

Its probably my favorite mod honestly lol.

 

A little bluesea and mil spec battery terminal happened. Now the fuse panel in the dash can relax.........time to wire up more stuff!

 

Aww damn, it was all put together for a minute, lol.........wayed da bed go?

 

Hanging in the background lol! Got a job starting in 10 days so that's how long I have to build the new bed. Should be fun!

 

like a flatbed? or matching bedsides to the fronts?

 

Flatbed !

 

Waiting to see what derpwerx (or whatever you called your brand) brings out. Just use a level this time . A frowning flat bed would be ugly.

 

I really like the look of this snorkel. the only thing i think i would do differently would be to have the top of the snorkel flush with the top of the cab

 

Here is a Regular Cab Tacoma 4x4 in Tallahassee that someone here might like. Its not mine........http://tallahassee.craigslist.org/cto/5454978375.html....I called and found out it has 180,000 miles on it.

 

Flat beds suck lol. So much time and work to build.

 

Sliders came in yesterday, ordered them on Monday! Hopefully I'll get some time this weekend to paint them up and then put on next weekend.

 

Do our trucks come prewired for fogs?

Pretty sure I've read they don't, but wanting to confirm. If not, how difficult is the wiring job to do?

 

Mine did not but the install was super easy. I just used a kit off eBay and it's been almost 2 years now with no issues. There's a lot of diy's and different ways to wire them up

 

just keep it simple and dont over due it. i think a basic wooden flatbed looks so good IMHO

 

Lol I bet Kase tries to get creative.

 

It is very basic and functional. This is the basic look I'm going after

 

Went to O'Reillys to get some wheel studs for my Tacoma.

First he asked me what year so I said 05+. Fine. 2 or 4wd?.... Umm... 4. It's just wheel studs

"Front or rear?"


Me-"wtf .... Rear... Why?"

"Oh the fronts are reverse thread"


Just bit my tounge and walked out with the studs at that point frikkin idiots.

 

that looks really clean, will you make it to have a stake side option to? and check out this 2nd gen regular cab https://youtu.be/hqng1-r1azg
