Series 100 LC snorkel on a FGT

I know people

 

Party on Wayne

 

I think what he meant to say is he's got friends in Gweilo places...

 

Jokes aside, I would be willing to bet that they are injection molded. Initial cost for the mold and other setup would be pricey. A lot of time/energy/cost for a relatively small market.

 

I think 1st gen tundras are one of the shortest released runs of most Toyotas generations

 

Agreed

 

However, sometime in the 1980s, somebody decided that it was time to start creating restoration products for the Chevy 210. Those people are still in business today. Granted, they produce reproduction parts for other 1950s, 60s 70s vehicles, but they did it. Sometime in the near future, somebody is going to have to start producing a bunch of reproduction parts for our trucks, or they are going to fall by the wayside.

 

Sounds like you and your wife are sitting on a goldmine!!!

i continually think about madmax, I’ll add spikes one day, but lots of our meat and potatoes type parts are also shared by other models, so that’s a good thing too.

 

Everything but the first of the first gen pushbutton fog light switch

 

Hahaha you poor soul.

 

She lines up pretty damn good. There’s an obvious gap at this angle
but it’s in line with the pillar.

 

If i find one from a different model, im going to send you x5 of them

 

God bless you

 

God bless texas

 

Nice job and write up. What made you want a snorkel in North Texas?

 

The truth, because I can. It’s like I told my wife, “Why does a man do anything to his truck? Because he can.”
It’s like when I added a rear truck spoiler, rear window spoiler, vortex generator, front bumper spoiler, side skirt extensions and rear bumper diffuser to the Subaru Impreza. Because I can.

 

Here are a few up close shots for your consideration

 

NGL, I’d be pretty damn proud of that fitment.

I wonder if there’s a way to bracket up from the rear view to use the two tapped fasteners on the snorkel for added rigidity?

 

That’s kind of what @JakeJake was considering

 

That’s what I was thinking

 

I’m just here for the pics. We like pics. Like, a lot. Less words. Just ask @bmf4069

 

You got a cordless leaf blower?

 

I like where this is going…

 

I might have had a similar idea for an s10 blazer.

 

I’m sure you know of the roadkill Monza…

I lost interest trying to find parts to compound 'em.

 

Let’s put the registration table there.

 

Do you need goggles in the Honda? I’m still digging dirt out of my eyes. I’m guessing doors help. We only have a half windshield.

 

Exactly. These 100 series ones are cheap cause they are 100% copies. The R&D was done long ago by ARB/Safari folks and/or maybe TJM. And being that the 100 Series is/was available globally, it was apparently worth it with a much larger consumer base than the 1GT (unfortunately for us).

But ~$600 for a "real" ARB/Safari snorkel is quite a large pill to swallow when the knock-offs are 1/10 of that price.
