Deeezy's Locked Sport Grocery Getter Build

Do you have a certain brand bumper in mind?

 

I like the Pelfreybilt and the All Pro Apex Aluminum. I think I'd really like to stay with aluminum so i don't have to upgrade my front springs. We shall see.

 

Those are nice. I love my Pelfreybilt but I also think Demello Offroad makes a really nice bumper too.

 

Finally finished trimming the rear fenders:

 

Looks great.

 

Thanks man. It's going to be another month until my tires get here so I'm trying to get all the trimming/clearancing done before.

 

Thats a great looking ride! Cant wait for my topper to come in.

 

Did you keep the inner-liner inside the wheel well?

 

Looks good you wanna do mine too? Lol

 

Nope, no liners. I might try making some tabs to attach some sort of liner but it doesn't look like it really needs it.

 

Thanks! My family likes our topper. Keeps everything dry and covered.

 

Looking sweet...so nervous to trim fenders on such a pristine rig. Nice job!!

 

Thanks man! I need to order some door trim for one fender flare. I screwed up gluing it to one of the fenders so the trim has a small kink. It's really small but totally bugging me.

 

Since I removed the fender liners, I installed a threaded plug for the fender intake tube. If there's a chance of water or a lot of dust being sucked in, I can plug the tube.

 

Plans on a snorkle? I'm impatiently wanting for the new 2nd gen snorkle..

 

Fenders look good brother! Seems like everything went smoothly!

 

No plans for a snorkle. I think I'm going to leave my truck un-snorkled for now. What brand are you waiting for?

 

Thanks! Surprisingly, it did go pretty smooth. Now I have to figure out attaching the rear mud flaps for inspection. I plan on waiting for the new tires before mounting them. I got some universal Rokbloks to play around with. (and thanks for answering the questions I asked you) A jig saw came in handy. I pretty much used that to cut everything.

 

Waiting to see the production model ARB Safari snorkle for 05+. It's release date keeps being pushed back. I want to see more pics from different angles as it appears kinda large in leaked pics to decide if I wanna get that one or just go with the Heliux retro. I do like the slender sleekness of the Heliux version but don't wanna jump the gun when a snorkle is bout to be released vehicle specific for us. Just a waiting game at this point. I've been keeping a close eye out here https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2005-2015-tacoma-safari-snorkel.350645/

 

Ah, I see it. The bottom part of the snorkle is way wider on the fender area. Is it a lot of trouble to retrofit the Hilux version? It is nice to have a part that is specific to your vehicle though.
