im sure i dunno sir, theres no mud out here that i know of, and when there is, its just muddy ground, no mud pits. as far as SAS goes, im just gonna buy a 4runner with SAS. if i can find one. i can have me a truck and an suv. i dunno y, but i like that idea.

diff breathers..whats not good about them? It raises the breather up and out of the water. SO if your stck in the mud/water, your diff doesnt filll up with water. Saves you diff oil

but then again if you change your diff fluid right after mudding/playing in the drink, you'll be fine right?

^^yea, your fine..but changing oil after EVERY trip gets expensive. especially when you use expensive oils. Plus they are dirt cheap to make. $10 for the front AND rear. water/ring and pinions dont like eachother.

Yes, but what sucks is if you spend 30 dollars on synthetic gear oil and change it every time your rear diff goes into mud/water.

If i had 400, id invest it in a rear locker.

Just some rubber tube that slides over the fitting on the axle. On the end of that i run one of those REAL smalle airfilters. Looks like a mini K&N cone filter. My front one is mounted to to top of the engine bay, and the rear one is attatched to the top of the rear X member
