October 27, 2013 Kaena Point Outing

tell me about it...
gotta save up for a snorkel!
Luckily, people are always interested in brackets. Gotta start making some again...

its about 20gb of mixed files, you're welcome to do it for me if you want

i'm still waiting for mine

let me know about the snorkel? I might down if group shipping makes it cheaper

 

holy crap youve got a good turn out with those, wish i would have thought of that idea first

Id be down for a snorkel GB also

 

so I have about an 70min on the gopro...after editing via the shitty gopro freeware it crashed on me before saving anything...guess i'll start over tomorrow

 

Today I ended up painting all the scrapes I made under the truck while at Kaena pt.
I had to grind off all the rust that was starting with a steel wire wheel and paint over the bare metal. Both sliders, frame rail, transfer case skid, rear axle housing, and even the tow hitch mounting bracket. I guess it could have been worse, glad it wasn't the cab getting crunched.
And Bullaculla's harness relocator bracket worked like a charm! Guarantee it would've broken off, even scraped the rear bumper on something.
I guess underbody protection is worth if if you're running a 3" lift.

 

Figured out my GoPro recorded 11 minutes or so when we started back towards the front. I'll try and edit it tomorrow.

Died right before the mud

Did you notice a lot of scraping while we were there, or was the dam he a surprise?

I remember hearing skids twice on my truck but it must have been sand because I can't find scratches.

 

Snorkel $409.50 comes with the template for our trucks 05-13

Then we can make a snorkel club MAybe hit them up if we can get a group buy for Hawaii how much people in to buy a snorkel?

 

Meh. I want the air flow snorkel

 

What's the differance between the two snorkels?

 

I only recall a really loud bang from the passenger side. Found a couple of nicks at the front of the slider, so I must have come down hard on something.
Other than that, not really. It was from getting high centered, and still pulling forward, ahaha. The tow hitch/mounts and rear bumper are from departure angle I assume... I really don't know where those came from.
It was good to finally have some fun with the truck, though! I just hate rust. Had to get it before it takes over.

 

looks like the airflow has less exposed over the fender and from some pics posted by others that installed it, the A-piller screws are kinda optional because of the snug fit.

but it is a little more expensive

 

I saw your tow hitch scrape in the dirt when you were climbing out of where we all parked when you went for another run with 1uz and phil.

 

Found an article on it. Does everybody want to go with the air flow style snorkel? Maybe trd girl can get us a deal on this snorkel since it seems that she has all these connections on getting parts for cheap. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/performance-tuning/282741-safari-vs-airflow-snorkels-2.html

 

Oh that explains it!

 

Been thinking about a snorkel for a while now (like the safari look, but airflow doesn't look all that bad), trying to decide if I'm going to benefit from that or a HC rear bumper most... either way I'd be cutting into the truck and that scares me a little.

 

Oh and we turned this into the Oahu Members BS Thread apparently...

 

its only metal

 

You guys planning on going waikane with those snorkels?

 

Molokai channel. Lol

 

Better get an extension like this guy!
