What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Yeah after this weekend, I'm thinking about owning one. They're super light and very handy for most places we go wheeling.

 

Not to today but yesterday

Took my SUP to the beach for the first time.

 

For those of you with snorkels (any brand) is there a water trap anywhere in the system? I am building one but feel like I have to worry about water collecting in the system over time.

Also, I installed a D-cell Maglite mount on the driver seat.

 

I believe they do have water relief provisions

 

How was MPG while towing it? I didn't realize you could rent them, but found your Instagram photo and now I have a bug up my butt. I really want to look into investing in a Moby1 in the future, and now there's a good way to try out a similar setup to see if it's worth it!

 

Well considering I get 11mph highway WITHOUT towing anything at 65-70mph, it was about the same at 55mph with this trailer. I'm also on stock gears and 35x12.50x17 Toyos. Big heavy tires and no gearing kills your mileage on the slightest incline.

But I gave up the whole "mpg" thing 2 years ago. The truck does what I need it to do, and the price is high fuel consumption.

 

It's also harder on your engine. Why not regear?

 

After running them on several vehicles I have not had issue of water intrusion. In heavy rain or snow it is common to just turn the ram backwards. As the air inlet towards motor is much higher than the bottom of the box I doubt you will have issues and water, if any will trap below the ledges.
It would be easy enough to put a couple rubber plugs in the bottom of the box for piece of mind.

 

I am building my ram into the main tube so I wouldn't be able to turn it around as easily.

I have been considering doing something similar to this guy. Drilling a hole and attaching a small pipe to be able to drain it.

 

Ah, will work. I have seen it done on jeeps. In fact I think the XJ? has or had much the same stock.
Consider using a rigid rubber ribbed tube. The small amt of flex will be beneficial.

 

If its not to much trouble, can you pm me with the false bottom info please. Looks great.

 

There's a drain in the bottom of the stock air box as well.

 

Not like I'm holding off on purpose. Lol I want to do an ARB locker in the rear at the same time, and I just don't have that kind of cash right now.

 

Changed my mind...That looks like shit. Send it my way and I'll sport it for you so you don't have to.

 

It would look a whole lot better with a KSU Wildcat license plate on the front.

 

I don't know about better, but KSU does have a pretty cool Wildcat Logo

 

Lol I was thinking something similar... \m/

 

Me too. A big white O

 

I have to make do with a rear license plate frame and wildcat emblem on the tailgate... stupid Virginia and their front license plate requirements...
