Great video. I like how you talk out loud about your thinking process and what you think will work best. Definitely subscribed.

[@SpartanOverland]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate the kind words. We try to be open about who we are and what we're doing. Even if what that is is just a couple people trying to save a dollar by doing our own work in the garage.

Good Job Bud . It looks badass w/ the snorkel on

[@SpartanOverland]

Thanks!

[@OverlandPNW]

Yes to snorkels! I've got one on my 4Runner and love it. Cheers!

[@SpartanOverland]

We've cut it a little too close on a few water crossings!

[@FoxVelox222]

Good video, I also feel apprehensive about drilling into my tacoma. Even after I've cut into it a bunch for fenders and a viper cut.

[@SpartanOverland]

Thanks for watching! I just kept telling myself, fenders are fairly easy to replace!

Should put a piece of tape on the back of the trim removal tool to Not scratch yer paint. I'd look into the Round mushroom cap Pre Filter to keep More Dust from getting to the airfilter. Nice job btw

[@SpartanOverland]

Great suggestion on the tape! And yes, I plan to add a pre-cleaner soon.

Talk to us about that head lamp. Regular head lamps don't work too well. Where did you get it and what do you think about it?

[@SpartanOverland]

That's a Lightbar LED headlamp. They're a bit pricey, but 100% worth it. It lights up everything in front of you instead of just a spot like most headlamps do. You can get them on Amazon.

What kind of rock slidders do you have?

[@SpartanOverland]

These are from P&P Engineering. bit.ly/3o91NFf

[@S.-.V]

Still having good luck with the snorkel? Take any other steps to “waterproof” your rig?

[@SpartanOverland]

Yeah it's been great! The other "big thing" is I've added an extended diff breather to the rear differential.

[@canalesivany]

Wonder if anyone noticed removing the fender trim was not necessary

[@SpartanOverland]

The fender trim has screws that hold in the fender liner, which has to be removed to access the inner fender.

[@operationcontingency]

I couldn’t trust myself to put the snorkel in. #RyanForTheWin

[@SpartanOverland]

No shame in that! It was a bit nerve-wracking.

[@Jam-nh5wb]

i want a snorkel but i have a k&n and got rid of the oem 🥲

[@SpartanOverland]

@@Jam-nh5wb the snorkel is definitely a commitment. If you wanted to go snorkel, you could probably sell/trade the k&n for someone's OEM pretty easy.
