actual pictures?

Uhm well i posted i think 5 times with solid photos of a 05+ tacoma with the 135 but if you would like more info just let me know. I dont mind if the truck ends up on your site, just be sure to make aware all the info I have posted about this modification for the Tacoma.

Great Thread guys!

I also saw the SS135HF here: Sierra Expeditions for $305.00. :jump:

If anyone has actual pics of this, I'd love to throw them on the site if you wouldn't mind!

What do you say we make my Taco the official Sierra Expeditions test bed for this mod (in exchange for one SS135HF with a big red bow on it). Seriously, I'd expect a nice run on these over the next few months.
:rolleyes:

best idea yet

seriously thats the best idea yet,
Any company who wants to sell the 135 for the 05+ tacoma needs to {in my humble opinion} install one first that way they are able to advice folks on what to exspect. and have that knowledge them selves.
I know most folks who would want this could figure it out on there own but its just always better if you are a safari retailer to install it then sell it.

Funny I didn't even think of Zolo's truck when this thread originated... though I have personally seen Dans snorkel. :eek: Really clean install and a neat truck too.

Zolo (Dan), are you still working up in Heber? Last time we chatted (via WC forum) you were getting ready to run the Paria... did you ever go? Use the snorkel? :D

Couldn't agree more... seriously a major ideal I take to heart with my business. There are few items we havn't installed... a SS135HF on a 2nd Gen Taco is one of them. :drool:

PS, anyone know the difference between the 135HF and 135HFD?

no

no I stopped working in heber, to much boss trying to run the shop from Mexico and what not, not really my style being inside and all.
Im still fighting fire for the USFS, in WY now. Never did get to run the Paria, The W. cruiser seemed really 80 heavy that was a big reason for not sticking around with U guys although everyone was really cool at the dunes

i should clarify

I shouldnt say the W.C. were to 80 heavy, cause I travel with who ever no matter the rig, 80s or otherwise. i suppose the moving up to the Tetons had the biggest impact on who i traveled off road with. Plus i had to take a few trips acroos the country in the fall and spring after leaving R.R.. The club was great i wished i could have wheeled more with u guys.

No harm no foul... if you ever find yourself back in Utah look us up. I'm serious about the Paria. :D

I think your right... the bodies are the same, is likely just a different parts kit similar to the different 40 Series kits, etc.

researced them all

Man let me tell you that before i got the 135, i looked at them all trying to find the right fit, It toke forever. It ended up working out well though and I hope that the info helps who ever wants one for there rig.
Its a pretty cool part thats very functional no matter the rig or the use dust/water it has seemed to be very effective for me for both all over the west.
