    TRD Off Road sticker. Not the whole package, just the sticker.
    If they do bring it back at a higher price, we should all hold off on snatching them up and try to contact them for a group buy/bulk rate. I'd bet a lot of the buyers were because of this thread.
    But I doubt the price will go up, he didn't "sell out" of them, it was just a bad batch that were cracked, so they are waiting for the next one.

    Got to test out the snorkel today, we got over 2 in of rain last night here in SoCal which probably doesn't sound like a lot, but we haven't had rain like this in over a year. So of course the streets are flooded...I was hitting water pools that were sending water over the top of my truck all the way to work. Got there and parked, checked the air filter and it was a little wet, but that was expected...I was sending sheets of water directly at the snorkel lol. No water got through the filter though. Snorkel did it's job as best it could.

    I was mostly concerned with seeing that the connections in the fender where tight and sealed completely, and they were. Although I didn't put the fender liner back in when I was done installing the snorkel, did any of you? It didn't look like it would fit. So as a result, some water did get sent through the firewall into the engine bay but didn't seem like a big deal, at least the battery isn't on that side.

    At least you get to have a variety of weather events...our primary weather event in SoCal is heat and drought, lol.

    How are you supposed to do snow rooster tails then? This saddens me.

    that snorkel has been out of stock for some time now...hope it comes back sometime soon. IMHO it looks better than the ARB knockoff that follows the length of the fender, although I'd install one of those too if the shorter one never comes back in stock. just my .02

    Could just turn the head around so you're not scooping water directly down the inlet, but either way it shouldn't cause issues

    "Stockish" with some "improvements" :D. Red/clear while is cool but it came from necessity: I have to swap position of orange signal and reverse light that on the left side I turned into red rear fog light. Legal requirement is that rear fog must be at least 10 cm (4") away from position/stop light. I'm still hunting for good looking tail red light implementation that I can turn into legal rear fog lights (like I did in my 4Runner), so I can use that spot for white reverse light (having only one, right reverse light is legal but it's ugly).

    But so I'm not completely out of topic, don't you guys think that snorkel (any brand) look like a geoduck?

    Unless they are fighting a lawsuit with Safari. Could have been given a cease and desist.
