    i do have one of THOSE snorkels :D

    Mark at Expeditioneers has been working with the production company on finalizing the product for public release.

    expect a full writeup and feature in the upcoming Tacoma Magazine that should come out in December.


    yea, the grizzly gulch photo has quickly become my favorite shot of the truck. looking forward to going back there and exploring some more...not many trails where you can travel along the base of a 14,000+ft tall peak..not a well known trail too

    thanks bud...still trying to figure out how to get it a little lower, but it's been good so far. still need to go through the rest of the truck and close up some holes and waterproof things.

    haha do it up man...pretty easy to install, hardest part is lining the vinyl up to be as even as possible with the body lines

    glare before the blackout on a typical commute into denver

    [​IMG]

    glare after the blackout...not same intensity of sunlight, but same spot

    [​IMG]

    i'll have to try and catch the sun around the same spot as the first pic to get a better comparison
