Ok, so this is where I'm at - it is either

42611-35161

or @se7enine's 42611-35220

Leaning toward 42611-35220 simply due to the "Chrome Package" mention.

 

I emailed them for an actual picture of -35220 for conformation. Let's see

 

as did I.

 

If only this were a 30

no agreed on price. screw that. having a probable part number helps with searches though

 

I used to be the same way... At some point something broke and I decided it's only money, right?

 

The problem with "rare" stuff like this is it's a pain to replace when needed.

 

@Area51Runner @cruiserguy @01x4 since you guys are good wheel detectives...got any idea what mine are? I've had this truck for 3.5 years now and haven't been able to figure out what brand these wheels are that the PO put on. Just curious mainly, I like them so I don't plan on changing them. They were originally a lighter grey




Closest I found once was one by American Racing but it wasn't quite the same. Also Pro Comp I think makes a very similar looking one

 

Next time you have the wheel off the truck, pour over it for any markings which can help to ID it. Also, measure the backspace.

yeah the tubing for the stock air box as far as I know is the same between the two...the difference would be how the snorkel itself molds/follows the body lines of the fender. That's my guess anyway, seeing as how the fenders between 1st gen Tacos and 3rd gen T4Rs aren't interchangeable. I'm sure you could run either snorkel on the other and it would look 'good enough', or not if you're picky about it fitting the body just right. Should connect to the air box just fine though

 

I think they look cool, it's different in a good way IMO. Although without the opening of the intake facing forward I wonder if they don't have the same belief that ARB does in that the air ram effect at ~40+ mph is only effective when the head is pointing forward. There's an article on it somewhere that ARB has that describes it better than I can. Basically says when it's not forward facing at that speed it's not prone to drawing in as much air as it should. I'll see if I can find it

 

This truck hasn’t seen a hose in over a year

 

without a head on it at all I imagine thats because otherwise rain/water would go right into it and to the air filter. The traditional snorkel heads have little vents around the bottom of the head that push most of the water out before it goes down the snorkel to the air filter. I rarely find any trace of water in my air box even when it's pouring rain and I'm on the freeway.

 

I'm not sure about the one you are looking at (stainless one) but as far as the cheap fleabay one and the ARB, I wouldn't turn it around. I've been in some pretty heavy rain a couple of times for extended driving and no water at all in the box. I'm not worried about it.

 

the TRD wheels are 160 each. now that, that is a good deal

 

yikes lol...and I thought the traditional ARB Safari one was pricey, damn

 

found one article about the traditional head and proper facing, it isn't ARB's but same idea
