New England Mod & Meetup Thread:

Thanks. I appreciate that. I will need a corner bumper piece and sensors etc. and I didn’t know there was a sensor inside the bumper that effects the blind spot monitors too. I saved all the large broken parts that fell off. He was driving a new rangers. It punctured his radiator and destroyed the front end. And he just got it.
poor guy. He felt a mess. I told him don’t worry that’s what accidents are accidents happen at least everyone was OK I was shaken up my backs a little sore so I’ll have a doctor look at it when I get back.

 

damn, yeah saw your other post with the pic. Don’t forget to see the doc sooner than later. longer you wait the more they’ll try to deny if you need anything like physical therapy

Poor guy. That was my biggest fear getting my taco was an accident before I knew it’s dimensions better.

 

UGH, at least it was on the way back but ideally never!

My brother in law does body work if you need a place.

 

No insurance?

Those BSM sensors, and their alignment... $$$$.
Enough so, when mine fk up, they won't be replaced.

 

Where as I’m I. Western Mass. I’m planning on going to Sliech Autobody in Feeding Hills mass

 

Ambitious Good luck with the rebuild and thanks for your service

You might want to try some headlight restore. It’s cheap and takes no more than an hour. The dazzling results might help distract people from noticing the paint

 

Got to ask, what's going on with the snorkel here?

 

Welcome back

Sorry to hear about the truck

 

$400 vs $40 is the real answer.
I dont even like snorkles but one time In some sticky mud, it built up so bad it clogged the intake port in the fender well that it stalled the truck. Had to get out and clean the muck out to get her started. Another thing is most snorkels are smaller in diameter and I read many stories of people who are forced induction having problems with tuning. Basically, a longer tube in a smaller diameter can restrict air the blower wants to suck in. Im not sure how true but didn't want to deal with issues. But again it came down to $ and I was bored stuck at home with a broken ankle at the time. Im not as worried as some of you guys are about the looks. She was keyed real bad when she was 2 weeks old, just washed, waxed and debaged her that same day. Its been downhill since but again she is a streetable wheeler. After the rear end is done the 38's go on im going bob the bed. Once all the major work is done something like raptor coat will be sprayed to keep her decent.

 

I'm going to do the cowl intake I think it'll be $40-50, I also don't like snorkels for the most part.

 

I have the cowl intake. Easy to do and cheap to go back.

Good answer! I'm following

 

Do you have a picture handy of it?

 

I copied @EatSleepTacos . Super easy

 

I've been contemplating doing the same thing to mine. Haven't dug in to see if it's been done on a 3rd gen though. I'm sure it has.. but, most people prefer the look of the snorkel I guess.

 

It has. I can't find the link. Next time we both go to a mod day we can do both trucks

 

Is that the stock intake tubing? I've never seen it done with that.

 

I have lots of hole saws

 

No, I'll try to find the links

 

I had considered this but heard its pretty loud normally and with the supercharger I assumed it would be worse, idk.

 

Same!

Though, not sure when I'm going to get the opportunity.
This summer sucks already.
