2019 Tacoma TRD Pro gets a snorkel?

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

 

Cassette Players work fine too, just a little outdated.

 

And in turn, ruin the rear disc brakes...

 

Much sarcasm was in my post .... even if you have to do drums at the same frequency as discs (you don't) they are not difficult to maintain, and work really well and are quite reliable in harsh conditions. We replace rotors more often on the OR vehicles than street cars because they take so much abuse .. yet drums just last and last and last.

 

This is one of the dumbest schools of thought. By that standard, we'd never advance in anything.

Bingo.

 

So why not go drums all around?

 

Well I think we settled it.

Snorkel > rear disc brakes
Snorkel = TRD Pro

 

....

 

Wish they had - discs wear out too damn fast.

 

It DOES have TRD in the Grille...

Wonder if I can make this fit on my 2nd gen's Safari Snorkel... That I don't have installed yet...

Also wonder who the manufacturer is going to be.

Shush! I'm a sucker for TRD. Everyone knows the TRD parts make it faster. Like how the TRD branded Magnuson charger has better numbers!

 

On this truck, we don’t need disc brakes. I agree, disc are better. But the truck doesn’t need them.

 

Why are we talking about NEED on a $40k truck?!

 

Sucking less dust into the air filter is a perfectly legitimate use for a snorkel.

 

We don't need power sliding rear window or Qi wireless chargers either...

 

In other news auto engineer mike sweers was accosted in a local convenience store where he was asked over and over again “y tho”, until ultimately the perpetrators turned on themselves over an inside argument over who did and did not actually “off road”. The scene ended when the swat team had enough of the in fighting that was sustained for days, the would-be auto activists surviving on moon pies and Mountain Dew code red.

 

Or a fucking snorkel. lol

 

Mike Sweers makes me want to get into "Asskicking cycle".

 

I agree.

 

Actually hungry now.

 

But the point is, people want brakes, that have been the industry standard for like 30 years at this point, on their expensive vehicle. It's not about need, but about what it SHOULD have, and what should long be expected. We aren't talking about a 90's Daewoo here. And when 4wheel disc is standard on every single other US Toyota, including their cheapest vehicle, there is flat out no excuse for it. Period.
