1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I honestly am not a huge fan of snorkel/dorkels and have been searching for a way to have a hidden one, maybe going into the cowl area. But the V8 airbox setup doesn't really make that easy.

There is one guy that ran a tube to the passenger compartment, cutting a hole INTO it, just behind the glove box. Totally hidden but there is intake noise that I'd rather not have.

 

I like the OG snorkel look on 1st gens, those more refined looking snorkels look better on more modern vehicles like the T4Rs and probably the new Tacomas

 

Yea the noise doesn’t sound very appetizing.

 

Like how the Baja racers do it haha. No worry about dust that way

 

Going deep fording in the 4R like you did the Tacoma?

 

I do like some delicious noise

 

I have a couple times

 

Yeah, exactly. He has it sealed up really well too so no water intake, unless you flood the interior to about mid calf level.

 

Just another place for an Algea bloom in my climate.
I have moss growing on the Tacos shady side. Not exaggerating.

 

That's where the stock limit is...

The stock air box intakes at/slightly above the body line on the fender

On 3rd gens I get you and @Kwikvette mixed up too often

 

Just have to finish pop riveting license plates to the Samauri floorboards.
Then I can have a swell DD while I dismantle the old ShitBox

 

Too dry here in SOAZ for that to happen.

 

This is what the guy did.

 

And then I found this guy that welded the rear hatch shut, cut the roof line and made a sort of pickup bed. Kinda like a really small Avalanche.

 

I'm guessing FOG is not an anticipated driving hazard in AZ.
I swear drinking the air is a required survival skill here.
Unfortunately the deer think fog makes them invisible in traffic.
RPM = Roadkill Per Mile

 

We got fog but very rarely and not for long. I've lived in humid climates often before so know what you mean!

 

Sounds are very different in dense fog, kinda like having an invisible box over your head or like the silence of heavy snowfall.
An eerie stillness of muffled sounds.
