Desert guys are gonna be shaking their heads as this one!

But I like my snorkle, and am not giving it up.

The door clears the snorkle, and aside from needing some longer bolts and probably some rubber mat to fill in the gaps with the fender, It worked out better than I expected.

You should have the other fender and the bedsides painted red to match. You would be the coolest kid on the block

 

[CronusTRD]

Both fenders are red.

The whole truck will be repainted once I get to a point when I don't have more important mods to spend money on.

 

[tenntaco]

Both fenders are red.

I couldn't tell from the picture. That's funny

 

[Oppositeboy]

You need one on the other side so people will think you have really cool smoke stacks.

 

[CronusTRD]

People ask me if it is an exhaust.

One person asked it if was a vacumn?

 

[98 Taco]

A vaccum?! To suck birds in? To suck dirt into the engine to make it work better? Good grief.

 

[CronusTRD]

The fit is tight b/c they were drilled by the previous owner, and not all tacomas are created equal.

With all of the extra room inside the glass fenders why didn't you just make a short internal snorkel like some other people have done? How often do you ford creeks that go well over the hood??? In order to go that deep you have to do a lot of other things to your truck in order to make it "water proof"

 

[miguelitro]

Why would you want to suck birds into youre engine man?
Thats it I'm reporting this sight to PETA...

I already owned the Snorkle, and felt I could adapt it easier than starting new from scratch. I might heat the plastic and reshape it to the shape of the truck better


How often do you ford creeks that go well over the hood???

Pictures are worth a thousand words. These pics are during the Summer. Water Levels are much higher in the spring.

In order to go that deep you have to do a lot of other things to your truck in order to make it "water proof"

Preparations for Deep Water have already been done.

What other kind of stuff do you have to do to waterproof your rig?, I live right on the coast and am prone to flooding, however I hate it when mother nature keeps me cooped up and unable to drive. I drove my old saturn through a deep puddle (1/4 way up doors) and the car almost Sh*t the bed, the "service engine soon" light never went
after that.(I know i know, i am an ass)
