I have a Lenz snorkel also. I love the design, but the build quality is like a high school kid trying to use fiberglass for the first time. I had to sand mine, add some additional ‘shoring’, sand again, then paint. I sprayed some coatings inside because the fiberglass was loose. The connecting tube to the intake was even worse. I ‘shored’ that up a lot because it seemed flimsy. It didn’t quite fit either. I have an extra hole drilled to compensate. The integrated nut just spun also.
I like the final install, but disappointed in quality. It reminds me of cheap Chinese made ‘bolt-on’ turbo kits from the late 90’s.
I never plan on using this as an actual snorkel. I’m planning to install a TRD bolt-on supercharger that I picked up a while back. After talking with some shops, they recommended a snorkel. They have found reduction of 15-20 degree F AIT’s with snorkels. If I’m going to punish my engine with forced air, I might as well give it the coolest air possible.

Took it to a Trucks & Coffee event at a new coffee shop nearby.

New wheels and tires. Another set of BFG AT’s 285 70 17 on new SCS Gen 5’s.
Didn’t do this today, but a update on what I’ve been working on the past several weekends.
Finally built a swing out tire carrier, started by wiring a 50A circuit in my garage (finally) so I can properly run the 200a mig I’ve had for a while now…..

@Toyoland66 are you going to be putting your stock bumper skin back on?
*** edited*** never mind just saw the latest pics... looks like you are barely clearing the cover... looks very nice and clean. I love how clean the hinge side of the bumper cut is!
My buddy and I did similar arms as to what you did and we found that his was mounted a tad low and rubs on the bumper skin a tad. So when we did mine we mounted the arm up higher to get enough clearance.
It looks very good and those welds are nice looking!!!

Finished off by relocating the back up camera and installing some Baja designs reverse lights
I had to trim the corner off of the latch side tube support that I welded to the frame. The pivot side was high enough it didn’t interfere. The clearances are all super tight.
Got out today and got off pavement for some mild wheeling. We had a major fire here a few years ago and the devastation is still hard to comprehend.
We took our camper out for the last planned weekend of the year and got in a bit of backroads exploring (nothing too difficult, but beautiful). Despite it being a bit of a dust bowl here, it's probably the nicest fall we've ever had.
Where is that. Definitely reminds me of Missouri.
Good eye
. Shannon County, Missouri.Water is looking pretty low. I do miss driving through the river valleys and the ozarks in fallGood eye
It hasn't really rained much in over a month. The rivers are pretty low for sure, but it has been day after day of 60-70 degrees, sunshine, and low humidity. Paradise other than the dust.
Did you grow up/used to live around here? I grew up in the Ozarks, left for a little bit, came back, and never plan to leave again
. Our family loves living here.
I bought this for my GX today. I’d been eyeing the ACC Becky for the last year, but just couldn’t resist getting roughly (I hope) the same product for half the cost.
Keep us in the loop on how it turns out!
Just keep an eye. That is just what JW did and found out that you HAVE to build in a support for the weight of the door or it will crack the hinges out of the body in short order. Don't leave your door open, shim the hinges, add the striker mod on the latch side, get an interior handle release in case you have to force it open, and think about how to add a support for the door. THAT is why the Becky costs more. There is way more into it than a simple bolt through mount.
Been a while.....bought a small travel trailer and have been working on it.
Finally got around to swapping out rims/tires/roof rack/grill. Did the 12 hole fuel injectors and replaced all the coil packs. Between lighter wheels and tires, lower profile roof rack, injectors and new coils I've gained an average of 2.8 mpg. Hopefully doing Icon long travels soon.
