I'm diggin' your approach and the way you're knocking this stuff out!

Bed rack looks much nicer and cleaner now that it's coated. Good stuff.. keep it coming! :beer: What's next?

Thanks!

That's the question, I'm thinking a spare tire mount on the sloping edges of the rack, only issue is that I'm not 100% convinced I want to keep these wheels, so I'm hesitant to pick up a fullsize spare until I decide.

I also need to find a box that'll fit in between my jerry can holders and fasten that down or I could make a solid mount for my cooler that I'll be using.

I really wish my RTT was in, hopefully it won't be much longer, I want to do some test runs before elk season.

Thought today would be a good day to head out fishing with my brother and cousin, so I loaded up the little boat in the back!

On a sadder note we had to put my brothers dog down. It involved his first and only ride in my truck :(

Well, I purchased a snorkel. All the reviews gave this maker top ratings, unfortunately it's meant for a LC80...worst comes to worst I'll be out $70, that's right $70. I'll post a update when it's here late next week

Nice! Mind sharing some more details as to what you had to do to get it to fit? From the looks of it it follows the body lines just as well as the Tacoma specific snorkels do.

Did you get this one?

Yep, that's the one. Geez, where to start? The only hole that lined up was the main inlet tube, besides that the rest was worthless. The template, A-pillar bracket, and rivets were all a joke. I had to put paint on the end of the studs to locate the mounting holes on my fender, custom make a pillar mount along with drilling the pillar to accept rivnuts and very carefully heat up the tube and use a piece of piping to form it around my antenna mount.

For $67 shipped you can't really argue if your willing to put in the work. The main tube itself is stout and well made.

That looks awesome!! I just ordered one. I had a hard time justifying the $400 to retrofit a Cruiser one or waiting for the Tacoma one to be out.

How long did it take to receive yours?
