Talking After Body Work and Diff. Breathers

I FINALLY got my 4Runner back from the body shop and after some yelling i got $150bz off the price. So here are the After Photo's & some recently done Diff. Breather mod.









AND THE BREATHERS:

What type of body work did you have done?
side note: Clean up those wires in the engine bay, as it makes the rest of your rig look like crap.

You don't want that "dip" in your diff breather line cause if you blow some diff fluid out to that spot it will get "stuck" and not drain back into your diff and then you will blow out a seal.

after i took the pic i pulled it tighter so it would be free flow with no restrictions.

no, i don't think you can get filters with diff. breathers. if you can, no i didn't, i just put on the breather, attached medical tube, put the relieve valve on the other end of the medical tube, and put hose clamps on both end of the tube.

the repairs on rot came out awesome. The line x or whatever you used on the rocker panels/flares came out nice. Need to that to both of my trucks...

Edit: you could use just about any small filter on the end of the diff breather extentions, just needs to fit what ever 'medical tubing' or rubber hose that you use...

they cut out the rusty part and replaced it with sheet metal and filled the rest so it is even with the rest of the body.

a diff beather is that nob you see on the top of your diffs, you order a breather part, then put a tube of some sort and raise the depth you can sink your diffs in water without water getting in and drying out your diffs.
