    This mod is just to keep the breather out of the water? Or is there another good reason to do it?

    To keep water & mud out of the diff......

    If you do any mudding or going through water, this is a VERY VERY good idea. If you get water in your differential, it'll contaminate the oil and can ruin seals & such.

    did they have the same setup on the 02 tacomas? The reason I ask is because I went mudding all the time in mine and never had a lick of trouble. That I noticed. I will certainly do this to my 07

    :argue::argue::argue:
    Thanks!!:D
    I was thinking about it but they already have the front diff breather exstended up into the engine bay. I had to have my front diff gone through because when les schwab did my lift they for got to hook the breather tube back up and i got water in my front diff:eek:. 4x4 was'nt engaiging very well. So I went to the dealer to see what was going on, water in the diff. I thought I was going to be playing the blame game with both dealer and les schwab:argue: but when i called les Schwab they steped up and took car of every thing!:thumbsup: They are an awesome company!:rockband:

    :thumbsup:

    On my 96 - I did the same as you (almost) but T'd the front in there also just for the hell of it. :D I think I had too many fittings & hose and was bored.

    Water in the diff can be bad - and it's a silent killer. You don't know its in there until the damage is already done.
