got some stuff done this weekend... here are some pics...


this is the only before shot I got of the rear body/frame difference


here it is after close up



here is a snorkel shot...

 

 

Looks real nice!, what kind of lift is that??

 

it's a Roger Brown 2" BL

 

Looks great! How tough was the snorkel install?

 

How nerve racking was it cutting a hole in the fender for the snorkel? How many weird looks have you gotten around town and how many people have asked you what the snorkel is?

It's looking good dude!

 

my girlfriend actually drove it around today and complained that EVERYONE was staring at it! I think it's just beause I would stare at a hot blonde driving that truck too!



I actually didn't cut the hole, a friend did. It sounded soooo bad though when that saw hit the paint! YEEESH. that was a sound I never want to hear again!

The install was really really simple once the holes were cut. Oh and thanks to 44runner for posting the part # of the tacoma adapter tube that I had to get to make it all work!

 

Not a problem man. Looks good! Did the antenna give you any problems?

Cutting the holes is mega easy. The provided template makes everything a breeze.

 

yeah the antenna sucked, it comes out kinda angled now, but I usually just play CD's so it's no biggie

 

[Hijack on] Dude, you got one bada$$ rig there, but I'm sure you already know that. It's probably my fav on here and could only be better if it was black. [Hijack off]

How much did that total snorkel project set you back? How sturdy is that thing? I was just wondering how much of a whack from low hanging limbs it would take.

 

Yeah, so does mine. It angles just slightly to the driver's side
You can't really notice unless you are lookin real hard...

 

 

Thanks man, just don't let Steve hear you say that, it might burst his abnormally large bubble. I actually tried to get a black one when I bought it, but my options came down to a black one that was an auto, or my green one that was a manual. At that point the color stopped mattering, I have never driven an automatic and didn't plan to start. The green grew on me quickly and I am kinda glad I got it. Everything I put on it is black so if the truck was too it would just be a big black blob.

The total snorkel project is in the 300 buck neighborhood.

 

I'm gonna have to second that one

 

haha I'll see if I can get some of her up here!

 

everything looks great except the tail lights

 

Looks badass dude, can't wait to check it out for real when I get back.

What are you gonna do about the huge gap above ur tjm? Also I'm afraid that you're gonna rip off your antenna in tight situations like we've been in before.

Flexing on campus.......u poser! haha j/k

One last thing, the BL didn't make ur tires look much smaller, so that's a good thing.

 

Yeah, I think he might have a little ricer envy. He has the crap on the grill too coupled with go fast lookin rims

 

Nice.. Ya, you will get some looks (like forever!!) and it will supprise you how often you have to explain what it is.. or how deep you have had it ect ect.. I was thinking about putting a decal for a high water mark so I don't have to answer that question anymore..

(psst.. btw.. I think you should lose the chicken wire in the grill IMHO)

 

That sounds like a great idea! Good job on the body lift, looks real good.
