    It’s your money but it seems a different pro sans DAI would be a smarter choice.

    Here’s what I don’t understand is why isn't it possible for a person to have 3 or more vehicles? The Tacoma is mine the cement is my wife’s and the fj is my sons

    The 3rd Gen Taco especially the pro will never be the legend that the fj40 is.

    How it was said above would be perceived as you own all three to yourself not that it's three different people with Toyotas. Like you have them to drive depending on what you feel like that day.

    Which regardless it's not hard to believe you have three but that you're that fond of the pro line up. But you're doing pretty good if you're paying for all three. That's at least 120k worth of vehicles

    Guys running block lifts are shitting on snorkels? Hard to believe.

    Honestly though, I'd take a factory snorkel. Kinda ugly, but none look sexy and it's not really about looks (where are all the "it's a truck" people NOW?).

    edit: and my uninformed assumption was that "desert air intake" is a clever legal naming issue and does not imply that it's not a snorkel. Maybe I'm wrong on that one.

    I agree they never look good. They're merely a function over form thing.
    It depends how well sealed the connection point to the air box is, if it's a 'good for water crossing snorkel'

    I think a big aspect of the desert intake naming is so when someone swamps their truck and tries to warranty damages from doing so Toyota can say it was not designed for water only dusty environments.

    It does look pretty dumb without the rest of the offroad goodies

    I hate how my truck looks right now . With the bigger, offroad tires the snorkel etc work and it looks fine . But I have 265 70 16 winter tires on now lol. Just looks so weird
