    that looks amazing. How?
    What material? Did you just fine existing holes to use to put screws to secure?

    My driver's side never has much in it but the passenger side is always like someone dumped a bag of potting soil down it. I don't get it

    After having 2 vehicles and all the contents of my house submerged in salt water during Katrina that truck is done for, someone will probably fix it his ins will total it out, beware of a white colorado with a salvage title.

    What I observed during that event (katrina) was anything with a battery power exposed to salt water will start instantly corroding all the electrical contacts, the galvanic corrosion between electrified contacts it's surprisingly fast and extremely destructive.

    Installed the ATH wheel chock. I was expecting a harder time since I've got a headache rack I was trying to to work around, but the pieces mated up perfectly. No need to drill anything or get longer bolts. Please excuse the pollen mess

    I've not had this happen ether and I've disconnected the battery to do a reset 3 or 4 times over the last 17 years. Knock on wood, I can't remember my tacoma ever stalling after it starts up, pretty sure it hasn't. Maybe it's a result of something that was changed later in the second gen evolution.

    I haven't gotten a chance to really drive her around yet. On the freeway home from installing it I definitely noticed more power and ease going up a couple hills that she normally lacks power to keep at freeway speed without stomping on my gas.

    Damn that sucks. We missed it. Saw the aftermath and thought about how dragging that truck out through the rutted trail will suck.

    I made a template out of cardboard. Then traced it out on sheets of ABS, and cut out with some tin snips. I used existing holes, front and back ends. In the center I used an existing hole to mount an L- bracket amd mounted the liner to the bracket. I cut it so it'd fit snug so it stays put pretty well.

    I've considered both the snorkle or the cowl relocate. I'm more inclined to do the cowl.

    might as well start with at least the cowl. Idk if that entails drill hole in secondary fake firewall.

    snorkel also offers ability to run Syklone precleaner. And higher water fording depth not that it matters.

    don’t know if there’s any downsides. Haven’t heard any wind noise. Probably not the most aerodynamic.

    You wouldn't be disappointed, drove several windy hills and freeway long grades yesterday. Definitely quite a bit more pep in her step

    Did a small mod to the truck over the weekend, i installed spotter mirrors. They are a nice addition!

    also got another good oil analysis report from Blackstone.

    looks like tall skinny 33”
    Did you have to add spacers to clear the relocate on compression?
