What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

That’s exactly why I’m wanting something on mine. In my full sized it’s not where near as bad, but in my Tacoma it’s terrible. Report back after a week or so!

 

Got a link? Been wanting a snorkel but haven't been willing to pony up the $400+ they want for em

I think

 

Yup @Teke that's the link...originally they were$98 but they went up $30...still a really good deal though

 

I installed my new tie rod ends , extended brake lines from Wheelers Off Road and flushed all my brake fluid. She is slowly coming togeter.

 

Ordered mine yesterday lol. It’s supposed to be here in like 2-3 days

 

Have you compared the quality to the arb ones?

 

@m3bassman did, he bought both at the same time and did a side by side comparison...virtually identical. He has the pics posted in the thread for that snorkel on the 1st gen page. That was what sold me on it and I've been really impressed with it so far.

 

Shit.

 

If it would fit my truck id get one. Fiberglass problems

 

@Shmellmopwho made a Safari snorkel work for his 2nd gen with wide fiberglass fenders...just took a bit of custom work to the inner fender hose if I recall

 

I dont have just fenders I have a tundra 1 piece front clip (bought it that way) so the lines wont line up. Like the clip because there's more room to work in the engine bay and less metal in the way, but hate it because on the freeway it moves and it's a bitch to put on by myself if there's wind. Plus gotta disconnect the lights and 2 clips and 2 pins just to remove it then repeat for install. The worst part is no windshield washer fluid nozzles so no spray, let the lady drive it for a month while her truck was worked on off course she used the wipers dry and scratched the window

 

Boomshakalaka

 

Your truck makes me want a 2nd gen, stahp it

 

Hahaha your 1st gen is badass and you probably have less miles than any other 1st gen on the forum lol

 

It did back when I joined...or was one of a few anyway. Not anymore though, at 75k now there's a few on here sub <50k miles

 

Still, 75k on a truck that is 15 years old! That’s great!

 

I dont know how but I still havent seen you around town and I live by torrance and crenshaw. I have a tundra hood so it would be a little different for me

 

Haha I’m on 246th and Western. I don’t drive my truck a ton since I’m working from home a bit
