Not sure if that extra 1/16 will hurt or not lol

 

Hey anyone feel like swinging by on Saturday or Sunday to help me install sliders and front bumper?

 

I brought the fittings with me and checked it. Seems tight enough, and with the hose clamp on it should be fine

 

Who made them for ya?

 

I'd help you out roger but im working this weekend, sorry man

 

me too...

 

Sliders - B.A.M.F.
Bumper - Pelfrybuilt

 

I would come help but that drive is killer and I have work as well :/

 

Let me check with the woman. I may be able to get away on Saturday for a little since she is having a bridal shower then

Update: I have approval but need to be home by around 4 or 5-ish

 

I've read 1/4" and 3/8" in separate write-up threads here. 3/8" was too big for my fitting and looked a bit ridiculous, and they didn't have 1/4"

 

yes, you can atleast clamp it together tighter

 

Sweet, probably be helpful if I could get one more person, the bumper's a little heavy for one person to hold up.

I'll supply beer/pizza!

I would, but I've got plans that weekend.

 

my son has a tournament in the poconos, all weekend, i would have liked to help you…

 

Do none of these auto parts stores carry 1/4" line?

 

Check Home Depot or Lowe's, I got mine at one of those for cheap.

 

depending on whats going on sat i may be able to help if you need another hand

 

Have you looked through the install instructions? My ARB had a mounting bracket that the bumper sat on before you bolted the bumper into it, so it was only a two man job to lift it onto the bracket.

Honestly, I think it depends on which parts you're going to be using.

For the union (the piece that goes into the rear diff), the write-ups I've found have two different part numbers for the union:

$7 90404-51026 Intake Air Control Valve Union

90404-51026 - This part is black and the union that sticks out is narrow. My 5/16" line fits over it with a little resistance, but 1/4" would probably be better.

$8 90404-51319 Toyota Union - 90404-51319

90404-51319 - This part is silver and the union that sticks out is a little wider. It takes a lot of effort to get the 5/16" line onto this part, so 5/16" would be fine, maybe 3/8".

I also got a new breather plug (part #

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

90930-03136) instead of reusing the old one, and instead of threads it has a plastic union that comes out the other end. This union is the same size as the second part number above, so I think the 5/16" line will be fine. I didn't want to reuse the old one because I didn't want to worry about the line coming off the threads of the old breather. If you do decide to reuse the old breather, then I think 1/4" tubing might be too narrow. You can see the original breather vs. the new one in the second post at the second link above.

 

Advance had 1/4" when I went.

 

Where in morris co are you?
