DPS- explaination - IMG_2491.jpg

if you take the top off or have a fj top, chances are your friend jump in the back, well mine do that and they started breaking the card board backing in the door panels so i came up with this, bought a 6ft piece of alum. angle iron cut it in half. lined it up with factory hard top holes, drilled tow holes and bolted it down w/hard top bolts and now my door panels are safe. simple mod under $15 (maybe $10)

DIY Tie-down bracket

DIY Tie-down bracket - IMG_2499.jpg

how-to: take a piece of flat aluminum or steel, drill three holes, two outer for the bolts for the tie down piece and the middle for for factory hard top bolt. slide factory hard top bolt through hole. next bolt tie down piece to flat bar with hard top bolt in place. You're going to need a space between the flat bar and the tie down piece so the hard top bolt fits, just use nuts in between the two. FYI It helps to have the tension strap in place when you put in together because trying to pull the tie-down through the tie-down piece and hardtop bolt is kind of a pain, but it can be done. now it's assembled and you just need a 12mm wrench to bolt it down, and tighten the strap (if the mounting rail is already done) and your good to go.

Rear Diff Breather Ext. - IMG_2416.jpg

Just took out old breather, cleaned it, pulled the cap off. Bought 3ft of clear vinyl tubing from ace for 49 cts a ft. and hose clamped it to breather. We'll see how vinyl last, pretty sure it will harden an crack, but who knows. Slack in place for flex btw. (Runs straight up into floor mounted tool box incase you were wondering.)

Front Diff Breather Ext. end point in underhood fuse box - editthree.jpg

I had it inside the under hood fuse box because it is the most straight up route, the breather is protechted from the elements (such as water splashing into the engine bay) inside the fuxe box because it has a lid. don't have to worry about heat hurting fuses unless in 4wd because the front diff isn't engaged making the gear oil hot unless in 4wd drive.

Again just cleaned the stock breather, pulled the metal cap of and hose clamped the tubing from ace hardware onto it. The Breather tube is ziptied to the engine mount to keep it from touching the oil pan and melting, but there is some slack between the engine mount and ending location incase the body flexes a little. (don't want the line to be pulled of breather piece, then what's the point of an extension? haha.)
