Direct from Stedi.ca. it was free shipping in Canada. Let me know if you need help ordering it from the Canadian site. I don't mind reshipping it to you.

 

Okay glad you're okay. See you again sometime.

 

Oh gosh, so much I would like to say. Sorry about your loss, I cannot even imagine, but you are coming through, well. I think you are on the right path, and happy for you to be on that path, one day at a time bruh. Enjoy that Tundra, Hasta la Vista.

 

The Demon bracket has been pretty beat to death but I would never use them for a recovery:

Thanks for all your postings on this topic, I'm learning... Question, can you post a pic of your new breather mounted on passenger side engine bay? I'm digging into this today, taking pictures, making a plan, hoping to get this installed by sunday after sourcing a few missing connectors[3 barbs, and 2 more pressure fittings]. I received looks like same breather locator kit you did, and I'm trying to imagine this all in my head before starting. Having a brain-burp, can you help me out to understand where you cut the stock breather lines and which ones, and you cut all three; trans, Tcase, TcaseActuator? Are both of the Tcase vent lines still routed on top the transmission heading up to the engine bay? Can you tell me where is the breather on the front diff, I cannot seem to locate it, granted, my skid plate is in place, but using my scope I'm able to see all over the top of the diff and I just can't locate it.

I want to get this t-case re-vented before it starts leaking I didn't like the sounds of the suction or pressure I released during my last t-case oil change.

Did you pry the Tcase breathers, both of them, from their mount point, like with a long screwdriver? Because I guarantee I cannot get any leverage on them in that location with my fingernail tips, my arm feels like its about to get captured or eaten by the engine bay.

 

Body color matched dash? I've been contemplating this and the door control panels...

 

I cut the case vent that's connect to the top of the transfer case. Leaving enough to fit the barb for the t case on one end and the barb that connects to the fitting in your breather kit. I think the pressure/press fitting lays close to where the old breather valve layed.

Feeding the line:
You won't be able to see it but you will feel it. I think I fed the line towards the engine as much as I could then went north from the wheel well and pulled it to where it sat on top of the trans.

I did not do the line to the actuator.

I unclipped the breather hose (they are 2 different sizes so you be aware when getting barbs. One size matches the breather to the front diff that's easily accessible.) as far as I could under the truck and then pulled it off it's Mount behind the engine.

 

Sorry for your loss - it sounds like she was a great person and partner. Glad to hear that you and your son are doing well - even though it is a pain that never fully goes away. Enjoy your Tundra - I'm sure that she would have wanted that for you.

 

My original wipers finally failed, they lasted 2 yrs 8 months, longer than any set I ever had, so I figured I should get another set of the OEM "Sightline" brand wipers. Ready for more April showers now! They ain't cheap but they've performed amazingly well for me, so I kinda think they're still a decent value.

 

wow. the ones on my '22 rusted out around the mounting/pivot rivet. I've never had something like that happen or even heard of it. Just another wonder feature that came w/ my truck i guess.

 

I've been impressed with the stock wipers. On my 2nd pair. First pair lasted 4+ years

 

Correct, but only the dash. Door cards are standard black/grey.

 

I snapped my passenger side bolt. And had to spin it out by hand through that top crevice. But I installed some icon bump stops.

 

Put the Softopper on. Still needs some adjustment but all and all I’m happy. It was a bear to get the last snaps in place and I still have a slight wrinkle on the passenger side but I’m going to let the sun and tension stretch the canvas out some before I do any adjusting.

 

Was hesitant - then saw R4Ts post their dyno. K&N next gen cold air- and yes it’s still a cold air sucking from the fender like factory
Although the PEAK power was made in the higher rpm band, there was power made throughout the entire range.
My mustang, with a larger filter and “powerpipe” produces significant/similar results.
Based on that I said F it, I’m going for it. Paired with the OTT and 4.88s, I’m happy with it. Cheaper than a charger lol
I’m sure some of you are familiar with my rig, if not I attached a pic of it too

 

Today installed Hellwig 2002 helper springs. Feels like new again.

Clunking noises were not observed on first test drive, and axel wrap was lessened noticeably.

 

New bumper. Next up is winch once I have enough money

 

Installed a "hOt AiR iNtAkE"

 

saw an ad for these the other day. Are they hard? I can't imagine anything 3d printed to be soft enough for a bump stop, or hard enough to not delaminate as its 3d printed.

 

I have them front and back for over a year now, they are just as good as the Sumo Springs they replaced.
On his site he explains a bit how they are printed, 3d printing can make some pretty advanced things nowadays.
