    If you live out that way there is a Northern VA thread that has the most activity for the region. We go out to sleepy creek quite often actually.

    I like the Arb. I cannot really answer to your question, My truck creates alot of wind noise. I have an rttt, bed rack, aggressive tires, lift, so I dont really notice any difference in sound. Ill tell you with the snorkle the truck "feels" more fun to drive.

    It does restrict view though, I have to be more aware of pedestrians, as a small human decided to walk into the crosswalk as I was making a right turn, and I had to stop on fast. And, when I saw small I do not mean a child. Maybe it was just the angle hit just wrong. but either way, you will really like it. Beofre you install it go to toyota and buy some of the finder liner fasterners, because you will break half of them taking the fender liner out.

    Someone answer me this. So I went in to let the dealer find my truck (black, pro, no desert air). They did at a dealer 300m away. Why would it take them 4 months to get it here?!? I basically pulled out of the deal, not waiting that long. I mean shit, I'll drive to pick it up.
