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:



(^Sorry about the focas, camra didn't work the right way)

 

where did you get the parts that screw into the diff?

 

any local parts store should have them.


Lookin good, Lookin good.

 

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.

 

i got a part number from somewhere online and went to a Toyota dealership and orderd 2.

 

This is what it looked like:


And as for the wires, i will, when i can find some of that wire cover stuff. until the i'm stuck with it.

 

wow thats beautiful.. good work

 

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.

 

Is there a filter on your breather? I couldnt see it

 

looks awsome!!
one of the best runners I have ever seen

 

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.

 

Thank you very much

 

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...

 

man they had that thing in the shop for a while....i've got similar rot, but not sure if i whould attempt to fix it myself, or take it to a shop (mines in the the bed however, about 2cm by 8cm)....what did they use to fill it????

 

im new to weelin so take it easy on me, what is a dif. breather?
whats it do?

 

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.

 

why do i need a filter? i put the relieve valve on the end of the tubeing. what would a filter accomplish?
