Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

head? it's one piece.

 

is that the best route to go for a moderate case of what looks to be humidity/condensation corrosion with a little bit of salt probably found its way in there?
i need to check a few other key areas on the truck before making that determination

 

Dude. It's normal. Your truck is 24 years old.

 

almost 23 years to be exact!, build date was 04/21/97 on the carFax
truck must've been on the lot for a very short time before i snagged it lol
i will see what happens once i stick a drill with a wire brush in there and let 'er rip!

 

I think that looks good for how old your truck is. Since it doesn't seem like there is any meaningful flaking or structural damage, a rust converter or encapsulator might serve you well. There are products for both processes that can be done without professional assistance. I don't know how much more life you'd like to get out of your current truck, but you've definitely got a decent looking frame for it's age.

 

some have said i am just breaking in the engine at 139k, TW is reporting the 3.4 making it well past 300k miles with no major issues if properly maintained
i suppose it all depends on my knees in operating the clutch and if repairs/upkeep start to nickel and dime me too much such as that old Corolla has started to do
there could always be a collision on the freeway with the crazy drivers these days not obeying speed limits in high traffic areas

 

Started getting the glass mocked up, but no LT yet. I found out disappointing news about my coilovers...fox's lead time is 6 months now, so going king instead.

 

One of the reasons I went to ADS......never waited longer than two weeks.
Ever.

when looking at the website some of them have a head for the snorkel i was wondering how his was designed since i havent seen a close up of it at the top

 

lol

 

now you going to have to sell those rear shocks to get matching kings lol

 

It faces in toward the truck, has their company logo in the end.
There is a pic on their site.

 

ah cool man i couldnt see it to well in your pics

 

Yeah, you won't. It faces the right front corner of the prinsu.

 

ah nice i do love the stainless steel snorkels maybe one day when i go glass flares ill get one

 

I just couldn't stand the 3rd gen abominations. Had a Dobinsons but traded it off. Was gonna make our own but my fabricators have been extra busy and one moved jobs.....
So, Sloop it was....

 

i gotcha ya ive never liked the dobinsons snorkel tbh it looks funky

 

their name looks just as funny

 

It also has terrible stencils for cutting into your fender to make it work.

 

most snorkels have the template its measure twice then cut lol
