The scoop is next....bye bye dorkle

I’ve been around long enough to know that in a few years time the factory Toyota DAI will become the most sought after part on the webz.

the add will read:

“OEM Desert Air Intake (AKA Dorkel) for sale: $1900.00. local pickup or you pay shipping. Comes with original hose clamps (very rare) and screws. Some trail rash. No low ballers. I know what I got”

I already want one more than ever.

 

Maybe for the US Europe will stall have 3 pedals like always . Next we will have automated electric Tacoma’s .

 

It’s fake news from someone who just wants to start an argument. I’ve seen nothing which says Toyota is going to eliminating the MT in 2022.

 

2022 Toyota Tacoma with Snorkel/Salt water filter. German edition.

 

At least the bloody DEI is functional... I can take it or leave it on the scoop

 

The needed to melt down the DAI's to allocate all the plastic to the 2021 bed coolers - it's a cost thing

 

They have their place, I'm just not sure why Toyota choose to go above the roof line with the intake section. A well thought out snorkel through the cowl area tucked against the pillar that stops at the roof line would be functional and not look like a babies arm hanging out the hood.

I think I heard once that Uptop Overland could be working on such s snorkel. I might be interested, just for looks of corse.
