Added rekgen mud guards and noticed that the hardware was junk. The spacer looks to be only quarter inch fuel line hose. After a trip to Home Depot, got some better spacers and new washers and it fits like a glove.

What did you grab from home depot to make the spacer? Id love to hit the recessed points for a little more peace of mind on my flaps

Usually this type of problem is caused by a leaking ARB Diff. I'd pull the filter and rubber band a balloon to the vent hose and activate the ARB. See if the balloon fills, or not...

The stock breather/valve is just that, a valve. The diff gets warm, the air inside expands, the valve opens, the pressure is released. The diff gets dunked, it cools off the valve closes and a vacuum is created in the diff. Water is then drawn in past a dirty valve that doesn't close all the way or one of the seals (which are designed to keep fluid IN the diff) at the axles or the drive shaft. Putting a stock style breather/vent at the end of a hose just moves the problem.

On my 89 Toyota pick-up and my 06 TRD Tacoma I ran a hose with a vent/filter that was open all the time allowing air to flow both ways freely. On my FJ I ran a hose into the jack compartment behind the L/R wheel well. I put a small K&N Filter on the end of the hose. Never smelled gear oil in the cabin. Never had water in the diff. Never had oil come out the hose. I haven't done this mod on my Tacoma yet. But, it will get the same filter mounted behind a tail light.

This is the next mod I am doing. Just ordered these two part today.

$8 90404-51319 Toyota Genuine Parts - Union (90404-51319)

90404-51319

$6 90930-03136 Toyota Breather Plug - 90930-03136

90930-03136

One is a union (open), and the other is the same 2 way breather that is on the front of 3rd gens.

Got the part numbers from the thread on this mod.

The washers were $0.17 each. The steel space few dollars. Since I was there I decided to get new screws and added lock washers. The rear long screw was 2.5 inches and was too long so I bought 2 inch screws and used the same spacer and washers in the front and they fit much better.
The screws that your given are far too big in term of the grabbing thread. I got some finer thread screws.

Don't mind the dirt and hair, haven't done the weekly interior clean yet. My dogs get the inside amazingly dirty by the next day after cleaning

By my dogs standards that’s clean

I’m the same way.. I know people have done it and results have been fine overall.
I wish someone would make a vinyl overlay that is just to cover the chrome portions leaving most of the TSS exposed
Click to expand...

They have, I’ll try to find the info. It was someone in TW... I bought one but ended up putting a matte tint on instead.

EDIT... @TwinTaco31719 shoot this guy an email @rrentrop and ask about the tss T decal. He can do most colours...

Installed demon brackets for adding shackles. Easy and fun to do.

Wondering if you painted the beadlock rings on your wheels or if you purchased them like that. Looks good

Me too. I love the new style and the electronics but I miss inside cubby space and the engine and transmission. Mine had 249K miles on it when we parted. The last day I actually owned it I get a flat in the rain at work. Thankfully we have Insurance coverage for that and I just assisted. It got traded in with a flat in the bed!

Mine was mint with 60k on it when it got t-boned or I'd still be driving it today. Broke my heart!

So after only two weeks of owning my first Tacoma, I have done my first mod....Installing new 265/70/17 Falken Wildpeaks. They really make it look like a truck. After owning nothing but highway tires on all other vehicles I am amazed at how quiet they are and how well they ride. Looking forward to many more mods over time. Looking to possibly do the Eibach 2" lift with the headstrong 3 leaf AAL next.

I installed some demon brackets and shackles. Not so sure if I like how they look now though. The extent I would ever get stuck is maybe in some snow on a logging road while hunting, so there is no need to get into the whole “these aren’t rated for off road recovery” conversation. Just trying to decide if I should keep them or remove them.

You could always just stow the shackles until they are needed. I'm thinking of doing this. My shackles scraped recently when driving down a washout. Approach angle isn't quite as good. The demon bracket themselves are tucked up pretty good.

Im sure he does but shipping to and from the U.S. if price prohibitive.

What did you add in the rear for lift and how do you like the ride compared to stock?

There is an Eibach Pro Lift thread. I just put my kit on Friday and added before and after pics, measurements etc.
