What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Your not wrong. All the overlanders are totally doing more than bolt on shit. Their real fabricators now.

 

I was glad I had a snorkel when it started raining today, I was worried about getting water in my intake

 

Because water being forced down a tube into your filter and intake is better than having it in an engine bay in a box sealed from the environment

 

What if it’s raining when your going through a pond that’s above your hood? It’s like a double standard, needs to be under the hood out of the rain but can’t be. That’s why I just stay out of ponds in my truck, that’s what I use the boat for.

 

Correct

 

Grammar is overrated. Change my mind.

 

Mmmm, I had to drill to install this

 

Started building a front receiver today. Hope to have it finished in the morning and off to powdercoat. The tab on the end is for my winch plug.

 

It was seriously funny after I hiked 7 miles up Vernal and Nevada Falls in the Yosemite Valley to a point where I had one bar of LTE, and I see I have a barrage of notifications that my truck was spotted in my hometown.

I wasn’t offended at all! I think it was pretty damn funny seeing my truck on a popular Instagram page. It definitely looked ridiculous, and I thought all the attention I got from it was just too amusing.



Here it is with the chains, which was a temporary solution! I have security clamps and fasteners in the mail but I couldn’t let it sit another night without securing it. It was the thickest heaviest chain Home Depot sold, rated for logging and D.O.T. certification.



Here is Nevada Falls.

 

Pretty sure if your in water over the hood your killing a bunch of electrical and waters getting in breather lines and in the cab.

 

No one tons or 40s on mine guess I’m not rated to hit the mall yet. Time to go cut everything off and do it again cause the internet said I did it wrong

 

Where are the off trail selfies?

 

I have a feeling you're just being kinda funny huh? I didn't see the sarcasm emoji in your post but my spidey senses are tingling and telling me that you're just being funny

 

I don’t think it funny, sarcastic maybe, not funny.


My snorkel is just for looks, I’m solo most the time, rarely if ever cross a stream let alone a river. It’ll probably fill with pine needles and ice and then get torn off this winter. Hell, I almost didn’t even use the little rubber connecting piece.

 

Lol, that's the kinda funny I'm saying

 

I mean might as well attach it to the air intake tube since you did the hard work of installing the damn thing you did connect it right? Just making sure

 

To a jar that catches bugs

 

It’s connected

More like tree parts, like my floor board

 

Yes but he's in dirt roads A LOT I think. So it might actually do him good. Might. He doesn't care if it helps anything. That's fine too. There's a chance he gets a benefit out of it

 

Don't walk around outside in just your socks!!! Wtf!
