    Can the snorkal be removed on a 2019 TRD Pro? Do they make some sort of cap if I were to remove it? Dealer has a smokin deal on one for me, but I do not want that snorkal air intake...
    Thanks!

    Maybe the smoking deal is because of the snorkel... my local Toyota dealer can’t sell the one he has either. Of course it can be removed, you can have a custom cap fabricated as well, or spend some serious dollars and replace the impacted body parts.

    If it’s really a great deal , if it was me I’d take it . I’m one of the minority who likes the look with snorkel.

    I’m sure you are aware of the huge hole in the fender. A cap to cover that will look like crap, you’ll be better off with a new fender and since the paint is new, color match will be easy. But there is probably a hole in the A pillar that the abortion bolts to, that will need to be welded shut and filled, then painted. That’s a lot of work to get right on a new vehicle.
    So personally, new fender and paint is cheap / easy if the deal is good enough, but I’d be more concerned with how the desert intake bolts to the A pillar/ roof area.
