    Diff breather mod sure is an easy one, but the benefits of it are excellent. You can drive through water as much as you want with peace of mind there won't be any water sucked into your diff. Truck is lookin good!

    I had the hose layin around the house. I think this was the easiest mod ive done Mark. u can get the hose at a local hardware store like lowes or home depot. i got the breather and the union at a local toyota dealer that my buddy was tellin me about.

    Got a chance to go on some trails to test out the suspension Saturday. The Tacoma done great nothing stopped it in its path. it was fun as shit too!! the only trail damage i had was it bent a little of the front drivers side bed but nothing to notice. pulled part of the fender flare out but bent it back and put the screws back in it. that was the only thing.
