As you can imagine, here in cowboy's land we see these all the time and not only in the countryside. Usually sparkling clean and tire-shined driving around the block or at a Starbucks line and I always ask myself WHY? just WHY? I guess to each their own.

This. I refer to these as "HTX stock". 50 of these in every parking lot. A more common sight than Camrys at this point.
 
New 8pcs fuel injector insulators and 8pcs o-ring gaskets, did nozzles decarbonizing as well.

I just don't get the point of dealing with all the negatives of driving a truck and then making it even worse with a multistory lift and thin tires.

Is the thought "hey i already have terrible driving dynamics, s***ty mpg so might as well just add to it"?

At least the LC community mods add some usefulness when offroad (for the most part) but these truck dudes making their truck less useful as a truck, so confused.

same thing with the squatting trucks that lift the front only. huh??

Holy crap! Do these tuck in when you need??

The rear tires do still tuck behind the edge of the fender when articulating but the front is just trimmed enough that there is no interference when stuffed, lock to lock.

Sorry for my ignorance but how do those snorkels not take in water when you are driving in the rain? Asking because I love those but I live in FL.

Couple of ways they intend to avoid that.

1. They have the side vent up on top. The design is supposed to allow most of the rain moisture to escape out the side and it to only pull air down the tube.

2. The fiberglass box or part that is just inside the fender from the bottom of the snorkel that you see has a small rubber drain on it that is supposed to allow any water to escape before it pulls air up into the tube that runs inside the fender and above the tire to the intake box.

I can’t confirm either of these things accomplish what they intend. I haven’t run this snorkel for long yet and it’s relatively dry here in Montana.

A number of people have also questioned the ability for this design to have enough cross section volume for the 5.7 engine. I plan to do some testing eventually to quantify if this is a valid concern. If it proves true, and is hindering the breathing of the engine/intake, I may create a small additional intake from the bumper that I can block off in the rare event I need to cross deep water.

It also came with some 3d printed black grills that are intended to block large debris from getting into the two top openings of the snorkel but I don’t really like their look and quality. I hope to eventually come up with something that looks better. Maybe metal and painted matte grey like my bumper.

Unfortunately, I love the look of this snorkel and wanted it, despite those concerns.

…and, yes, I need to create some fender liners.

I forgot that I had not replaced the upper rear control arm bushings, after 300k+ miles they were finished.
