Thoughts on 37s

He's running an LT +6" kit that he built.

I don't have inner fenders at all anymore, and I'm sure he doesn't either. You can use more uptravel that way...even with my standard LT kit at full stuff I had to trim glassworks fenders quite a bit.

 

What type fenders did you have? How much lift ?... or what ever its called on the opening. If I end up getting LT in the future will my fenders with -3" out of them limit 37's alot on up travel???

 

Im trying to keep my stock fenders if I can so I can still use my inner liner to keep mud and junk out! Im working and modifying the liner to fit with the stock fenders and leaving tabs in the fender to mount to and hoping -3" out of the fenders and 3" lift is plenty

 

Inner fender liners are a waste of time. Just pressure wash out the wheel wells afterwards...

:insert "ain't nobody got time fo dat" meme here:

 

Says the one with a snorkel My stock air filter was getting coated in mud (and I don't go mudding by any means)... I relocated it into the cowl though and that's not a problem anymore.

 

Yep haha. You can make your own *high-clearance* fender liner if you're concerned

 

Yeah I would just wash it out not go through all that.

 

Same, although I wouldn't mind an inexpensive snorkle

 

I don't know that I would call this a snorkel... but it keeps my intake much cleaner it is still a CAI (at least while moving, it will heat up when stopped) and best of all it was much cheaper than a snorkel.

 

I just made my own inner fnder liners. Work pretty good until I rip them out on occasion and have to redo them.

 

Glassworks 4" flare 3" rise. The 6.5" flare version would be a better fit for my track width though. It would be hard to stuff big tires with LT on stock fenders. http://glassworksunlimited.com/prod...14-toyota-tacoma-front-fenders-4-flare-3-rise

 

like.

I'd rather have this than a snorkel.

 

Oh?

 

Yes - my dislike for the mod is not news, I've spoken of it before... It's done now but had I known then what I know now I would not have gotten one. Too much of a PITA.

 

I remember a few mild rants, mostly involving poor fitment and LOTS of stupid questions

 

yup - that's about it. the stupid questions being the worst part. Fitment issues I brought on myself because I was constantly fucking with it.

 

I get the typical, "oh man your exhaust is coming out of your hood?" kind of questions. "Yes I have a plasic straight pipe header" is my usual response to those fucktards.

 

Funny ...... I mentioned doing the intake like this to the TN folks and was shut down. A lot of folks around me do this in their mud toys. It's great for everything but completely submerging the hood

 

Picked up a spare CV on EBay for $35 shipped. Didn't someone post a link to someone that rebuilds these with OEM parts?
