Doc's 05 Tacoma Build Thread

[Redline]

I really like this option:

http://centramatic.com/

Unfortunately they are not a solution for new Toyotas due to the caliper on the front end. I have been using a set of Centramatic balancers on my F350 for a few months with a few different sets of tires and they have worked perfectly/as advertised.

I have a set for the 6-lug Toyota, but currently only have a pair on the rear axle. I could put the other pair on the Chaser's axle... The only way I can think they would fit on the front would be if I added wheels spacers. Currently I'm not interested in that trade-off.

Snorkel Envy!

I need a safety snorkel but, alas, no one makes one for the 05+ Tacoma...

I wonder how hard it would be to adapt a Hilux snorkel? Fender fitment is the issue I think.

ARB U.S.A has Safari Snorkels for the 05-07 Tacoma. I have the ARB catalog here and there are a couple pictures of a 05 with a snorkel. No worries, order one and bolt it on!

EDIT: You are right! Here I had thought all along it was a 05 but it is not! **** Well now I feel dumb. I guess I will take that off my wish list. Sorry not to be of any help.

I craped reading the first sentence!!!

then I read the rest of the thread and then started to cry!

I only wish safari snorkel would make one, I just love the look of them.

I've always wondered if these would fit like you said.

I think it might fit with a bit of work mihgt not be perfect but you never know.

I was happy until I read the second part...

I wish they would just make one!

I think if Safari snorkel makes one for the FJ Cruiser, they should make one for the Tacoma.

Call me wrong, but I think a Tacoma would be used as an expedition vehicle more than the FJ.

I agree 100%. :REOutArchery02:
