05-07 Tacoma Snorkel Thread

[jbs]

Now to figure out the fender to 1GR-FE intersection...

Anyone know how the fender/windshield angles compare between the 05+ Tacoma and the 03+ 4Runner? I'd be interested in a snorkel for my 06 V6 4Runner. I'd imagine that if it works for the 1GR-FE Taco, it would probably also work for the 4Runner...

I dont have a dig. camera but my buddy does so I will get those pics for all to see this weekend. {We have a short trip planned} and everyone can decide if its a clean enough fit for themselves or not.

X2, I would love to see his truck in person. Could you imagine if it was all a photoshop and ARB sold hundreds of these units that didn't work? I am sure Zolo is straight up or he wouldn't have gone through this much effort already, a photoshop hoax is just a ridiculously not so funny thought for those that have been wanting a snorkel.

Ok sorry for the wait no photo shop that would be to easy. so here it is all the small stuff. i will take the fender well apart this week and get those shots along with the engine. So this is a straight up for real thing. I even get the truck a little dirty so as to not seam fake.
I will be able to answer any questions and will post even more photos of this last sun run.
We were on a little exsploration mapping quest witch turned out good, we added trails to our map that were not on it.
thanks and more to come

i know to many pics, U guys want the real small gritty stuff now, {the fender wells} thats were all the majic happens. I will get the engine shot but everyone needs to remember, I have a 4 but the location of the hole through the fender well is the same as the 6 the 4 has the airbox mounted right on the fender. It will just be a bit easier with the 6 because the airbox is not right there in "the way".
Im sort of stoaked I could share the info and get the word out, Its strange that they would make a snorkel for the new frontier but not the tacoma. I mean the frontier has a aluminum front diff housing! in the name of all things holly thats just not right. to me the tacoma is the perfect truck for every aspect of off road travel.
I drove my 40 every day for six years and across the country 6 times,and it was a 72! after that i was sold on the dependability of all toyota trucks.
Ive had this truck almost 2 years {since it had 9 miles} and now it has 50,000 thouand miles. Its been around.

Zolo: Excellent findings! Here are some detailed pictures of this model SS135HF. Perhaps they will help when explaining what needed modification.
