    The more I read about this the more I wonder why Toyota doesn't fix this problem and provide a two way breather OEM. I know people who have blown wheel seals because of this problem. They have better vents in front.

    I wasn't happy with my tye-wrap job at the axel so I got another coated clamp, drilled it out, and bolted it in.

    Nice, one of the better diff breather installs on here IMO. I used zip ties across the top of the brake line bracket but used wire loom on all contact points to keep the metal parts from rubbing on the hose. That clamp is a good idea; where did you get it?

    Love them, little more rub, but going to trim tomorrow, hopefully the tires just rip the bumper off then i have an excuse for the all pro offroad bumper :) :cool::):D

    i also decided to re-paint my light shade covers, they were black and REALLY scratched up, blue looks good, lets see how long it takes before im pulled over !

    I like this mod. Just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
    Mine is usually open by the time I get to the the back of the truck.
    But it is inefficient to go away from the truck to open more. So I see this as completely necessary. :cool:

    Nice Sticker. I should get one. Where did you get yours?

    I see you have two Tacomas. I'm glad my wife doesn't want one - because I'd have to mod it as well! :eek:
