    tried to look for the custom snorkel mod that you have. Is it that silicone 45 degree elbow and the piece of tubing?

    Probably going to end up going back to the TC kit also which means the MC kit will be for sale.

    the LCA braces? I am definitely interested in that.. I have the TC cam tab gussets already installed. Would like to add the bigger pieces to brace the LCA mounts

    Now Im going to have to pick up a Milwaukee right angle die grinder for that install !

    Don't want to sell it, since I could see myself having both installed eventually, too. But, the probability of getting the TC kit installed is higher than the work to install the MC kit; since it's more involved and all with the BAMF skids etc.

    If I get my own welder, the TC is a little more beginner/starter friendly.

    Good thing 4th of July is around the corner and sales should be plentiful. I use Home Depot and order online or acmetools.com for my red fleet.

    oh, so its not for sale? :pout:

    The TC is a fun starter project. Not too hard to mess up either.

    My wallet is tapped for now. And Im just about to buy a FJ manual shift tcase, probably this weekend. Ive been working hard to get my cc down, and as a gift to myself, going to buy the tcase, and then it will sit in my basement until next year :frusty: until im ready to install it

    The hovercraft mode was REAL. Not sure I liked the "skid" plate and street tires but, I guess at the mall, it works.

    He was gone when I got back but hope I have some inspiration.

    I noticed the other trucks have their wheels turned when they park; both of our photos..same thing. Weird.

    I’m at Toyota in aurora right now… and parking by all these 3rd gen Tacoma’s makes me realize how small my tundra is… my lifted tundras like the same size as a stock pro.

    Right. I was just making the statement that the new tundras got bigger and are a gas sucker.

    Wouldn't mind one but fuck...
