Diff Breather The ARB Breather Kit. Is that universal fitment for all vehicles, or do you have to order a specific part number to accommodate the individual vehicle, year, etc.? Thanks in advance for the response(s)!

Really liked your accurate interpretation and explanation....gracias!

Mods, which ones and when, etc. I haven't done much to my '14 Trail Premium, but as it's my daily driver plus the go-to out-of-town/mountains/desert vehicle---it's a little bit of a balancing act to equip it for the most important situations---but in my case, not outfit it so that it ends up...

It's been almost 9 months since installing my Shrockworks front bumper, and I've got a like-new front clip with all diffusers, mounting hardware, pieces, etc., that were replaced by the new bumper install. I'm looking to sell it all obviously, and if no one has any interest---can anybody give...

Bud-Built Sliders I got the bump-out full step w/diamond plate insert as I didn't want anyone's small feet or weird shoes/heels getting caught in something with openings and cracks. Don't live in the rust/salt belt, but in my experience since installation (1 year ago), the BudBuilt product's...

Trading in FJ for a LE? From what it sounds like you're wanting to do, I'd go with the advice you received and try to find a very late model or new Trail. Mine's a '14 Trail Premium model, and I did not get KDSS on mine---preferring the practicality and value of the Premium edition's features...

Husky vs. Weather Tech I've got the WT laser-fit inserts for front and back.....the fit is perfect, but I have to agree with some others re: they are pretty stiff---but, seem up to a lot of wear and tear for years to come. Dirt, dust, and dried mud show against the black color of the WT...

There was a similar Sliders query from yesterday or earlier and here was my response as why I opted for BudBuilts: After consideration of the very same problem, plus the need to describe these sliders to my wife as "running boards", protection of your rocker panels if you start hugging a large...

Door Dings After consideration of the very same problem, plus the need to describe these sliders to my wife as "running boards", protection of your rocker panels if you start hugging a large rock or ledge, and the practical aspect of being able to jack either side of your vehicle up.........I...

Ron, you "live" in Elkville!! You know why that shopping cart showed up where it didn't a minute earlier?? Because most of the people who shop there not only don't know how to park their carts after shopping, they also are all blind. Haven't you noticed driving through their parking lots, that...

Shrockworks Bumper on "stock" '14 Trail, more comments I appreciate all who weighed in with compliments, constructive criticism, and...just plain criticism. In response to some of you who questioned my motivation for adding a bumper to complement my BudBuilt Beefy sliders, in my first wave of...

Thanks for your responses;-) At this point in time, no----I am not planning on getting a winch. I just checked in to the Sandia Casino Hotel here in Albuquerque, and the valet parking attendant complimented me on my "great looking bumper brush guard"...and a guy in my office complimented me on...

A couple of days ago I announced that I "finally" got my front bumper installed, and not without a little bit of head-scratching thanks to less than stellar illustrations and specific details from the manufacturer---nonetheless, I have no complaints and am impressed with the fit and finish of...

Thank God I inquired of my salesman at the Toyota dealership, if there were any technicians in the Service Dept., who might do some side work. We just installed my Shrockworks bumper, and I'm thankful I had a Toyota-geek on the job. Overall, I'm loving the fit( snug to the original dimensions...

Paramilitary looking bumper mod That's interesting, as one of the reasons I dropped some major coin on a Shrockworks bumper (about to install), was to provide a recovery point of sorts, and a place to utilize a jack, if necessary---in addition to the "bumpability". Don't see anything here...
