    What the...

    I've taken parts from tons of 3rd gen T4R's at junkyards and I have never seen the crotch vent before. Hell my buddy has one and I'm almost sure he doesn't have one either. That's super cool.

    Wonder how hard it would be to re-route the footwell vent.

    That is probably the one thing I miss about my old runner the most. Keeps drinks cool too if you tend to keep them in between your thighs on road trips.

    Even considered rigging something up in my gen 2 taco to blast my femoral arteries and baggies, nothing cools you down faster on a hot day.

    Also fairly reasonable at mitigating the dreaded swampass.

    All depends on where they're at on the scale:

    The 65+s are the best. I want the one with the biggest visor.

    Alright so who's gonna try to retrofit this shit in their truck? I've got an alert set up at the local Pick-n-pull to email me every time a 1st Gen Tacoma or 3rd Gen 4runner shows up in the yard... guess what? Months have gone by and zero emails... :mad:
