What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This is a couple days ago but I took my 4runner on the trails behind my house. They were made for SxS's but I fit well in the yota.

The pic was taken in a clearing by my kids treehouse/camp ground.
 
How did that happen? Mainly just worried because I don't want mine doing the same thing, lol.

Look at my build thread and look how the breather is alinged. If you go through the hole that is already there in the gas area it will pool water there and funnel it into the diff if your tube isn't high enough. The worst part is that I flooded it at the car wash, not on the trail :/

I ran my diff breather behind the gas fill gasket above the fill tube. I've not had any problems. It is hidden inside the gas fill tube cover and somewhat protected from the elements.

I'd Put it there, but it is exposed to what my tires kick up then. Where I have it now is probably best... Its on the upper left by the gas cap. Ill take pics later tonight.

Where is your black cover that should be over you filler neck?

The black cover was installed after that picture was taken. The cover keeps mud, grime and especially water from getting to the breather. Believe me. I've been on some pretty nasty trails since and there's no issue with it getting clogged.

Alright cool, If i didn't want to make a cut in my gas filler gasket I would have put it there, but at the time I was tired and it was the easiest route to go.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure I mounted mine on the top side of the fuel filler but will check when I get home.

So your build thread makes me feel terrible for not having done much to mine other than a few minor livability mods and easy/time killers. I've had mine for over a year and haven't done much at all compared to your couple months....I guess buying/remodeling a house and a wedding will do that to you. Hopefully this upcoming year I'll be able to get somewhere and use it for something other than hauling shit and the occasional camping or FSR road.

Don't feel bad, I have nothing but time on my hands, because my better half has been gone for the last couple months at a research project. This is pretty much all I do other than work and photography :P

The fun thing though was transfering all my mods from the previous truck to the new one all in one weekend. :boom:

I originally did too but it got gunked up and clogged over a long period of time. My bad though, I hadn't paid any attention to it. Had I simply pulled it and cleaned it every once in awhile it might've been fine. My response was to go ahead and stick it through the filler gasket, though I've got a bit of hose poking through too- and higher up the gasket. It's staying much cleaner there.
Again, just occasionally clean it if needed and it should be fine.

Did you use the filler neck cover? I'll keep an eye on it.
