Or just spend 10$ in parts from Toyota +whatever hose costs.

Probably a cheaper way to do it too, unless I’m thinking of something else

 

$70 on a breather?

You’re mad.

 

I didn't pay $70

 

Those don't work so well for venting diffs, the ARB and others like it use a check valve and/or a filter. Those are good if you want to set codes in your civic with a CAI though

 

It doesn't actually have to but the reason the rear and front do is because they aren't entirely out of the path of water and when the diff gets cooled rapidly in a puddle or a river (or lake of poo water) it sucks air in from the contraction of the volume of air. But being these breathers (one literally on the axle tube and one next to a shock tower) aren't all that high we don't want it to just suck up water (the stock check valve is speed dependent and spring loaded) fast cooling and it will suck itself shut for safety. Slow cooling like you'd find after a nice long drive and letting the truck sit will just happen through the valve without closing it. So if you relocate them high enough you can omit the check valve and just use a lawn mower fuel filter.

 

Not even that. I spent a few bucks on a real Toyota breather.

 

Thats because you arnt mall crawler enough

 

I just went and looked, like 10$ish I think.

But less expo points

Well that's a new take on the 40 series. I kinda like it on a bucket rail chassis. Is that at the LC museum?

 

No its the USA toyota corporate headquarters.
But yeah its a pretty cool take on a 40. Looks good hot rodded

 

I think mine was like $3. I got a generic breather instead of a diff specific one.

Was for my front differential.

 

@cruiserguy you know what im doing to this Samsung

 

installing a breather?

 

I mean kinda. Its a drain with a one way check valve.

 

damn models make a boatload of money. Trying to negotiate with an agency at work and they want $5k minimum for one of their less experienced models. Not including 20% agency fee.

I should mention that when we use to make print ads for fashion magazines, the models for those shoots got upwards of $20k each for the day

Just in case any of you were considering a side gig

 

Nobody wants me to model I don't think haha. I could be the official model of premature male pattern baldness maybe haha. Wouldn't be a bad underwear model tho, don't know how you get that gig

 

It's pretty much as "easy" as walking into their office or setting up an appointment to come in and have them look at you. The ones I've talked to when booking models are usually very direct and will say right away if they think they can get you work in any one particular genre of the industry. A photographer friend of mine actually got put on one of their rosters because he has a bunch of tattoos and has that "bad boy" look, and he got to go to a casting for a Harley Davidson commercial (didn't get the gig).

Most companies don't hire 'real' agency models anymore though and just use Instagram wannabes since they do it for cheap...the kinds of models that make tens or hundreds of thousands a year are few and far between these days. Plus there's no guarantee of steady work, and your career usually only lasts a few years until you get old and a younger prettier face becomes more popular. Guys that make it big though tend to last longer in the industry. Go for it lol

 

Now you got me thinking about a funny idea for an SNL skit or something. It'd be about the guy that sizes up the underwear models to find them a gig. What's your job? Oh well I'm the bulge inspector haha

 

I guarantee you somewhere in this industry that job does exist lol. Probably in the porn industry
