I found some cheap breather filter from APC. I think it is for a honda or something. It is held on with a zip tie and a brass fitting 88 4runner SAS 36 IROKS with some stuff Re: My 4runner is all grown up [Re: turbogeek] #641745 08/29/05 10:38 PM Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 105 Scottsdale W Westy Wheeler x2 on the filter for the MV 50? the cheap plastic one is terrible...but works alright. very nice buildup...clean..looks good. one thing i would do is get some longer rear shocks and mount them on the back of the axle, get an extra 4-5 inches of travel. 1994 4runner v6 auto 1986 Toyota Pickup 22r 5spd Re: My 4runner is all grown up [Re: Westy] #641746 08/30/05 12:42 AM Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 36 Lincoln, Ne akarocket OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Quote x2 on the filter for the MV 50? the cheap plastic one is terrible...but works alright. very nice buildup...clean..looks good. one thing i would do is get some longer rear shocks and mount them on the back of the axle, get an extra 4-5 inches of travel. I don't think I need any extra travel, but I would like to move the top of the shocks out to make it more stable 88 4runner SAS 36 IROKS with some stuff Re: My 4runner is all grown up [Re: akarocket] #641747 08/30/05 12:45 AM Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 912 Engineer TheBandit Rock Warrior How often do you have issues with the spare tire blocking rear visibility on the trail?

Not a good idea! They were designed for tension, not compression, and when you install them this way they will eventually collapse!

I have wheeled it as hard as the IFS would let me. As far as the rear tire. I just back up until I hit something. Then I know I have went far enough.

I don't know what kind they are that failed, but mine are of a completely different design. Looke at the distance between the leaf spring bolt and where the shackle is reinforced. Its like they used one that was longer than normal. On mine the reinforcement starts right away. There is no long gap inbetween. Not the best pic, but you get the idea.
