MARYLAND TACOMAS

I think I missed your question lol

Were you asking about if there were any issues with off roading?

 

Haha yeah more so concerned about getting this part wet.

 

Ahh, yes I see, it’s not enclosed like some of the other ones.

 

ooohh yeah sorry man, I totally misunderstood haha. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with that sort of CAI.

 

Morning MD

 

Morning all! 22 days until Spring!!

@SHADOWDRIFTER19

I have the open-style K&N intake on my truck, like you’re looking at and have had no problems with it. I can’t say I’ve done anything serious with my truck though as far as off-roading goes. The only way you’re going to really get it wet is if you are crossing deep bodies of water… like front bumper completely submerged. And at that point, you’d need to consider like Eric said a snorkel.

 

Morning all

 

Good morning Neighbor.

 

Reporting in live from NYC, morning all!

@Taco1004 do you plan on keeping it a pavement princess? I doubt my taco could clear deep waters until maybe I installed a rear locker, and even then I doubt I'd attempt it.

 

I plan on taking care of her as best I can, not sure that’s an answer though. She goes OffRoad, but mainly around the farm and maybe camping. I’ve had a few trucks that I literally destroyed beating the hell out of them OffRoad… my favorite being my Chevy 2500 on 35’s. But after a few years, the underside of it was nothing but bends, dents and a crap ton of rust. But it was a lot of fun! I just want this Taco to last 30 years!

 

That is a beautiful freaking truck RIP

 

Part of me still wants a 96-98 SWB 5.7 4x4 to build into a monster.

 

Oh, she didn’t die, not that I know of anyway… sold her to a young college kid in Gettysburg studying to be a DNR OFFICER. Plan was 12” of lift and 44’s… but then plans changed. Kids came and the tri-seat bench didn’t work for them, wifey and myself. But then I bought the ‘75 K5. Sadly, that did die though… deer then a tree on gravel road in woods. That one brought a tear to my eye!!

 

Finally got my ditch lights installed .

I’ll post better pics once I have a chance to take some but this gives you the general idea lol

Diode Dynamics SSC2’s on low profile brackets. They have the amber backlight so they glow kind of like raptor lights when they aren’t “on”.

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks man!

 

Morning all!!

 

Sweet! I like the low profile brackets. Who made them?

 

Thanks man!

I’m not sure actually, my shop had some already so they didn’t have to order any for my truck. I don’t know if they’re from diode or a different company.

 

Oh and also good morning MD
