1mt LED strip under your roll bar/headboard to light up your tray/tub, bit of mucking around with power and a switch but very handy.
I also put one in my side awning.

Also put some inside your bullbar, so you can see the winch spool at night, hook it up in the winch power circuit so it comes on automatically when you fire the winch up.

Anyone done their own diff breathers?
How hard is it and is anyone so over work on a Monday that they feel like putting a step by step guide up for us?

For those with sr hiluxs, the grille is that unfinished plastic colour.

On the weekend I sprayed it with black plasti dip then a fine coat of plasti dip metalizer then a coat of clear.

End product, looks alot more stylish and matches the black ink body colour. Better than the grey plastic look. Il get some photos soon.

Yep, bit of fuel line of appropriate length and a $3 plastic fuel filter, all from the automotive store of your choice.

ARB sell a generic kit off the shelf for $75 or better with trade. Comes with push fittings and 4 ports in the breather with plugs if they're not all needed. Its 8ml ID hose, on the cruiser it slid straight over the existing diff breather tail piece. Best to give the brass fitting a bit of heat with a lighter prior to sliding the hose on just so it molds to shape and forms a better seal. If your Hilux fitting is smaller tail as with the Patrol you'll need a 1/8bsb with a 6ml barb.
I can't remember the size of the gearbox breather but small plastic joiners are available from Repco to connect to the existing tube once the breather is cut off, then continue on to your breather.

Thats bloody good idea heating the barbs to get the seal, never thought of doing that.

This is by far the best mod I have ever done, and so easy to install, even I could do it
