New PRO - Desert Air Intake or No?

Why not just get an off-road then? And swap front grill lol .Would be cheaper

 

Wait, so you are saying you own 3 trd pros? If so, adopt me?

 

Maybe the other 2 are Tundra and 4 Runner, lol.

 

Shit, well i will take any one of them off his hands.

 

It’s your money but it seems a different pro sans DAI would be a smarter choice.

 

Yes 2017 cement 4Runner 2019 Trd voodoo blue and a 2011 fj

 

I don't even remember a TRD Pro FJ, sounds interesting.

 

I don’t have a pic of my cement on my phone

 

Sorry for the confusion it’s a 2011 fj

 

I’m new at this forum stuff on posting pics

 

Might want a pic with them all garaged. On the lot... lol

 

This one I ordered out of Winchester,va having it shipped to the house. I couldn’t get a manual with a snorkel so I seen this one on fb

 

Here was my 16 I traded in for my 17 cement if this helps you guys

 

Here’s what I don’t understand is why isn't it possible for a person to have 3 or more vehicles? The Tacoma is mine the cement is my wife’s and the fj is my sons

 

You're on TW, it must be the saltiest vehicule community on the internet lol

 

The 3rd Gen Taco especially the pro will never be the legend that the fj40 is.

 

How it was said above would be perceived as you own all three to yourself not that it's three different people with Toyotas. Like you have them to drive depending on what you feel like that day.

Which regardless it's not hard to believe you have three but that you're that fond of the pro line up. But you're doing pretty good if you're paying for all three. That's at least 120k worth of vehicles

 

Guys running block lifts are shitting on snorkels? Hard to believe.

Honestly though, I'd take a factory snorkel. Kinda ugly, but none look sexy and it's not really about looks (where are all the "it's a truck" people NOW?).

edit: and my uninformed assumption was that "desert air intake" is a clever legal naming issue and does not imply that it's not a snorkel. Maybe I'm wrong on that one.

 

I agree they never look good. They're merely a function over form thing.
It depends how well sealed the connection point to the air box is, if it's a 'good for water crossing snorkel'

I think a big aspect of the desert intake naming is so when someone swamps their truck and tries to warranty damages from doing so Toyota can say it was not designed for water only dusty environments.

It does look pretty dumb without the rest of the offroad goodies

I hate how my truck looks right now . With the bigger, offroad tires the snorkel etc work and it looks fine . But I have 265 70 16 winter tires on now lol. Just looks so weird
