Do you have a certain brand in mind? I believe cruiserlarry has the Maniks in stock for $189.95.

I just priced the Real Wheels covers (to replace the ones damaged) and they want a whopping $250. The price has gone UP!

Manik will be the brand I go to.

If Cruiser Larry has them in stock, I'll be calling to order a set myself tomorrow. I haven't been able to find a set since they have moved the plant to Mex.

Is the quality on par with those manufactured in the US/Canada? I'm wondering if I should wait. I didn't know they were being made South of the Border now.

Yeh, I was wondering the same thing. I found some that are being made out of NY that look just like the Manik. The welds appear to be the same. I'm waiting for them to make up the Black Powder Coated ones. They have S.S. right now and are suppose to make some in Black in the next week or so. I'll let you know when there ready.

Safari Snorkel: catching up with the rat pack

I ordered my snorkel when they first came out -- then the container was delayed from Australia -- then this and that came up and I ordered a snorkel from MAF to be picked up when the auxiliary fuel tanks were ready and they were delayed -- so I had the snorkel shipped out from MAF and it arrived yesterday.

The installation team arrived in a muddy FJ that might once have been sun fusion yellow and went to work immediately.


MUDLOVINGFJ ended up doing most of the work while MRSMUDLOVINGFJ cheered at the appropriate times.


I assisted MUDLOVINGFJ - with MATTMAINSTER'S hole saw.


Holes...lots of holes...big holes and little holes


And in the end, it looks great, works great and thank you MR & MRS MUDLOVINGFJ for coming over, providing great company, doing the bulk of the work & cheering with reckless abandon! And thanks to Matt for letting me use his hole saw because I'm too cheap to go out and buy my own.

The install today was an easy one. it really helped that i was able to work on such a beautiful truck. i am glad that we got to hang out today and that your truck is now almost done.

I'm glad too see that my hole saw has gone to good use. The rig looks complete Larry!

[Shadow-Warrior]

Looks great Larry, you had a great team of installers there.
