Snorkel
A friend of mine bent all the rods in his brand new at the time 13 Tacoma during a water crossing and spoke about putting a snorkel on his rig when he got it back and never did.
I couldn't help myself, I think it looks trick and does offer a cooler air intake than the OEM did being owners over the years had bent and crushed the plastic only tube down to half its original size then had it jammed in so the thing flapped over itself.
I relocated the ignition coil back and only held it on with one bolt instead of two for now.
I am not particularly concerned with dirt on the exterior, it is a toy that plays in the friggin dirt but, I like how she looks now more than ever.

I bought it from Amazon and paid too much but, if you have a good heavy duty dril and a hole saw, it takes less than an hour.
The big hole for the tube through the fender needs to be a few mm larger than the 3" hole saw offered me so I took a round file to the steel and made the hole a little bigger.
It is an easy mod if you have the slightest bit of mechanical inclination.
