    Sounds about right. For a 3.5 pipe. I used 3.5 for a 3"
    I worried the 4"would be to low to the bottom of the crowl area and suck in water if there is any in there.
    Why i went 3" thus giving just as much lip as the air intake to cab.
    But many have done it and no complaints.

    I gonna be using a 3.5 inch pipe. Now you have me wondering if I should use a 4 inch hole saw when I cut or use a 3.5 in hole saw and just trim it a little bigger after I add the molding around the hole.

    You will be fine.
    And depending on what your using for trim will depict how much you will need to over size the hole. 3.5 was a bit much for 3" pipe but it was what i had. And fuck it made it work. Silicone is your freind.

    Speaking of daily drivers. I'm almost done rebuilding mine. Less miles on the truck is a good mod.

    Nice setup. I like the interior. Totally different use though. Definitely a different price point. If you can run tight trails with everyone with RTT’s and bedracks, then you can DD your truck with our setup. I guess you could with the Kimbo, but it’s less ideal. And definitely not ideal on tight trails.

    IMHO, unless you’re running a 4 cylinder truck and getting awesome mileage, a hardtop cab over camper is better suited for full-size trucks. You lose the compact advantage of our vehicles, and with the V6 will end up with the equivalent mileage of a 1/2 ton V8.

    It’s all about that width...

    It will with the 3rz. I have an issue with the smog guys around here with a snorkel. They say altered air intake. Some won't pass the visual inspection before the actual test.

    I did a little reading (very little so I could be wrong) on this as I’m curious.

    As long as you don’t mess with the factory air box the addition of a snorkel should not effect smog. The snorkel is an addition to the air box not a replacement.

    Exactly. That's the way the rule is written. These guys are uneducated dumbasses and I had to go through a different shop farther away. There only two left in the town I'm in.
