    In the last few weeks I've painted the badges and wheels black, done the fog light any time mod, added an ultragauge, colormatched grille with grillecraft insert, and done the bhlm with D2S projectors. Next up is saving for suspension, wheels, and tires. IMAG0103_zps3h0ftws6_e0636f04467eb246fa2be71f83035596d7beb3ce.jpgIMAG0111_zpszq9ah34e_68460687be1f963087b65a1082f0b1c84d9c7c39.jpg

    After I made the comment...I conferred with my TW Bro's here on Oahu and they said to go the DIY method instead... Looks like a nice kit though...

    I wouldn't say DIY method is useless! Just do a little more research on the 1 way valve. It makes sense to me, oil expands when hot (Air goes out of the valve) and when the cold water shocks the Differential and tries to suck air back in (it's a one way valve) so it sucks in the seals. Maybe when you do the DIY use a small come filter or something instead of a factory valve. But if your comfortable Doing the DIY, I think it's an awesome MOD! I was in the process of doing one my self when I came across this kit, I didn't mind spending a little more for how clean the arb is.

    As far as I know the DIY uses a two way valve instead of the stock one way. The front diff breather which is located in the engine bay is a two way and essentially you're replacing the rear one with the same type as the front. I may be wrong but I'm fairly certain when I did the breather mod I used a two way valve

    The DIY uses a two way valve. It isn't even technically a valve, it's more of a dust cover.

    Lubed the lock in my Stant locking gas cap using some Finish Line teflon bike chain lube (same stuff I use in my UCA uniballs). After 4.5 years, the dust flap on the keyhole was getting stiff.

    You're Exactly right! My front factory valve is off because I connected it to the ARB breather. I just tested it and it is for sure a 2 way valve (at least on the 2013). Blows and sucks (sounds dirty) Good to know!
