Nimble9's Secondhand Parts Build

That was a cool watch. I agree with results but to say "difficult to maintain" is subject to opinion.. I did not find it hard to maintain a dust/debris since thats what the test was based off of.

This was the collection of a 4 day trip in the Canadian back country..

 

For what I paid I'm happy with the pre filter I chose.

 

that's amazing! did you niteshade your bowl or something? it looks black lol

 

After the Canada trip I blacked it out with a rattle can..

 

BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU NEED TO EMPTY IT?

also, I said it before, but Congrats dude!!! those pics are all awesome!

 

You simply remove 1 wing nut by hand and take a peek in every so often..
No ARB hydraulic jack required.

Thanx Dude! Literally life changing in every way. Even things that you normally do, you have a different mindset. Its cool

 

I haven't bought a pre-cleaner but I haven't really done any wheeling with a lot of dust out here either. I check my filter from time to time and it's been clean. I haven't had any issues in rain and in snow I just turn it sideways. If my filter is getting dirty I may get a pre cleaner, so far no needs.

 

I'm back to the regular skewp.. I just pack the pre cleaner for trips if I think it'll be needed. Can swap in a minute on the trail.

 

I have that one. But got it from Northeast Arborist for $70.

 

Link!? And is that the 4"?

 

Nvm found it lol

 

Yes that. I used a 3" coupler for the Airflow snorkel. You should check with @inesshell for which coupler you need to use for the snorkel that you have

 

Must be serious when the GF determines your path of Tacoma ownership

 

BTW, here are all the parts I used from the Hilux Snorkel Install:

I had hose clamps to make it all work

I also had to buy a hole saw (3.25" OC), and some metal wheels for my dremel which are always nice to have anyways.

@inesshell has the best writeup in my opinion as that's what I followed

One additional thing I did was paint the inside of my fender with some bedliner. probs not necessary but makes me feel better.

Damn so the rack is def shot?

 

yeah, all the symptoms from one of the linked threads i'm seeing. i'm seeing little drops of PS fluid under my truck where I park, the reservoir is dwindling a little bit after a week, and the boot is soaked on the DS.

Also my rotors are a bit warped from DDing this thing 450+ miles a week haha

 

Like I said man you are a beast! Where the hell do you work at that requires a crazy commute? Yea def sounds like its shot. What is our budget you expect for the rack?

 

My new job is 50 miles one way from my house lol I only work 4 days a week so it's not bad, just long.

My budget includes new rotors as well

 

@Coot83 the new rack includes high pressure line and 2 new outer TRE's
