    Catch can?

    Sounds like a 2GR problem.

    Mine consists of 25 yr old car audio methods and odds and ends electric throughout the years.
    Friends would try to diy, then bring me the car when their headlights turned on with their washer fluid and the brakes engaged the blinkers.:rofl:
    My old man always did the maths on the circuits and the breakers for his rental properties. I ran the wire and hooked up the electrical outlets/boxes.

    Ford put them in on factory ST engines. Mitsubishi did too on j-spec Lancers.

    Or, maybe the result of using an engine designed to be transverse mounted in a FWD vehicle getting slapped into a truck. :notsure:

    Blow by is a side effect of modern fuel injection. There's a lot of theory and somewhat practical methods for attempting to work around it while being more efficient, but at the end of the day...




    The catch can is a simple solution. Not even necessarily required, but definitely helpful for those who get all sideways and shit. :D


    As an aside, yes it's a 2GR, but it won't mount up into a Highlander or Camry or Sienna. There's quite a bit of difference there.

    Bringing this over here so nobody gets hangry.

    Offer valid to neighboring states provided contingent WI offer doesn't follow through.

    Will that even fit on a 3rd gen?

    @bkhlrTaco's you have dibs.

    I'd have to see where I can scare up some cash and the wife probably wouldn't be happy about it.

    I'd also want to know if I would need to remove the rails for my hard tonneau cover or if they could stay. That would determine if if be selling the tonneau or keeping it as a winter option maybe.

    Just started considering a Softopper this last weekend as I weigh different options for my spare tire... and then this comes up here. You guys are evil.

    Bedrails are the same, it's the top of the tailgate that's different...and that should only matter for hard toppers because of how the back door would fit.

    I was hoping you'd buy it, then in a couple years I can grab it off you for $250.

    Dean @rubbersidedown , a soft topper would eliminate the need to break down a wet tent before hitting the trails for the day...:spending:
