ok ok ok
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.

more info PLEASE READ!
I wanted to pass this along before I post the finale pics, well for one I dont have them yet but for anyone that might be geting started sooner rather than later.
1- the templat that comes with the 135 needs to only be used for drilling the holes in relation to each other. I.E. to find were the snorkel needs to be on the fender you must align it with the antenna base!2- so what i did was put all the studs in the snorkel first. then i aligned the antenna base with the indention on the snorkel and marked the rear stud hole location. after they were marked I placed the template up to the fender aligning the rear marked holes to find the location on the fender for the other studs and 4" hole.
this is very important! once the rear holes are marked trust the template but measure and recheck like 100 times it toke me for ever and finaly my buddy just yelled at me to drill the hole. Its hard to be the first ya know.

I think it is just software removing anything with ****** in it automatically (not an actual person picking through this) because somebody wrote "a$$uming" or something like that in another post and the software edited it to look like "***uming".
and ZOLO, thumbs up to you for figuring this out and taking your time to help others!!!
looks like a great fit to me!!!
