Re: SCUBA Driver Rear Differential Breather MOD

I loved this mod! Took hardly any time at all, and I'll sleep better knowing my Diff. and locker are a bit safer. I'll be adding the SCUBA Driver logo to my signature shortly.

I had a slightly different experience than you on the price of the Camry fuel line union. Bob Tyler Toyota here in Pensacola had me coughing up $7.55 after sales tax. And the Advance Auto Parts down the street from me had the fuel line at $1.18 a foot. Not TOO far off the mark. The other items were pretty much what you paid.

But that fuel line union price kinda bothers me the more I think about it. I expect prices to differ a bit from place to place. However, this is double the price from the same company. Howzat happen?

Regardless. Love the mod. Great instructions and pics. Well done!

Nice job, as far as the union cost, it should be the same, it sounds like that dealer has a HeII of a mark up on parts. You might want to rethink going to that dealer if you ever need any work done, based on the cost of 1 small fitting, this could be an indication of "Bigger" things, IMO. Make sure you post a pic of your breather so I can send you a sticker I'll be sending out the sticker so as I get back from Ouray, thanks for the write up
