Man. Looks like I missed out on some fun.
Couldn't get out of working on the moms house.
So Ben. What happened that you scraped up the quarters and needed Rob's winch line?
Is there any vids of Mark and Chris crawling the rocks?
More..more. I need to see more pics and vids!

Cost wise, it's basically just a run of 3/8" (?) fuel line and a small hose clamp. Most folks run the rear's up along side of the fuel filler neck, so that's about 2' of line for the rear. Check your front, you may already have one there - I think some 4Runners came with them stock.
Here's a write-up with more info:

That write-up talks about getting a fitting, some folks (me included) just used the "bobble head" fitting that's already on the diff. You tear off the bobble-head part, skip the hose over the remaining nipple, and clamp it down.

yep its a really easy mod. i ended up re-doing mine in the rear with the union fitting that rob has listed on his website. i had to do front and back, boy was the front a PIA!!! but i think its only 2nd gens that don't have it up front all ready. i ran mine to the engine bay, just cause with fuel filters on the ends.

For anyone that is interested...........the dented fender is fixed (removed fender flares and pulled out by hand), door opens, mirrors are ordered but the scratch marks from the sand are still present.

He would have followed me with ease were his rear diff not leaving a 6" deep furrow in the sand behind him as he went.
That's my story and I am sticking to it.
Ben, you should get rid of that thing. It only gets in the way and you have one up front so it's really just a spare anyway... We can call it the diff removal mod or DRM for short and make a million bucks!

Not only did the diff prepare Reiter for a corn field but in the process mashed the gas tank skid in 1 inch. So it's coming off, getting hammerd and angle strips welded in.

I sent you 53 photos so it'll be hard to choose the best ones. I'm sure some will be repeats of Ben's and yours. The lady at the photo shop was impressed by what you guys were doing to your trucks.
