Function of OEM Hood Scoop?

It’s not a case of having a “problem” seeing over it. Clearly you can drive the truck safely down a road. It’s about situational awareness in tight situations. That’s when you need all the visibility you can get. The scoop can make a difference between seeing something easily, or straining to see it.

Anyways......it’s a well known fact the forward visibility sucks on the 3rd Gen. that’s why everyone is always hanging out the window when they are wheeling in the tough stuff. The long hood and relatively flat hood and narrow window are not ideal. This is why the window sticks straight up over a short his on an old Jeep or land cruiser.

 

How can it be a myth? It’s just geometry. The skep isn’t painted on. It actually sticks up into your field of view.

I know. Not my truck, but this took some conviction to do.

 

That wasn't for you, my fellow ORer. We enlightened OR owners with non-skewped hoods don't need to compensate like those the knuckle-dragging Sport owners who don't understand geometry and instead go on gut emotions alone.

 

With that effort, I hope they also chopped the cab 3 inches too.

 

Don't forget the bigger rims, if that is your jam. Real talk.

 

Pretty sure he wasn’t listing off all the sport parts, but just what drew him personally to the sport.

 

Yea, that 1 inch made all the difference.

 

I resemble that comment.

 

Ok good. I was starting to feel a little ashamed of my scoopless life.

 

jeebus..look at that skewp-less beauty. and excellent color choice too. You are not only enlightened, but you also have unpeckable taste.





as you can see i have modified my Tacoma to be extremely unique. I'm pretty sure no one else has one configured like this!

 

It’s meant for lightbars and 10-20ish HP

 

Gets in the way of approcing off toad obstacals. I sold mine and got a or one

This thread has changed my life. I've updated my title to reflect my core beliefs.

 

be right back, buying a switch pro to make this possible now, lucky me, 12.7 more hp

 

OK...i'll end up being just a little bit jealous if you make a Kitt mod for a moving LED light in the Skewp. Sorry my fellow OR brothers for this one weakness in my armor.

 

I don't know what's more disturbing, the picture itself or the fact that you have that picture.

 

Soak. It. In.
