Works well, you'll want a small mod if you have a 4runner with a rear locker
Easy install on a 5th generation 4runner. There is a 6mm threaded pitch hole on the passenger side of the engine compartment that works well for the bottom bolt of the manifold, then just use one of the self-tappers included to lock it into place. I went ahead and grabbed some t-barbs and waterproof tape to add a junction to the breather just above the rear differential so I could also extend the breather for the rear locker. https://amzn.to/408wvRq and https://amzn.to/3SXF25PTook me about 30 minutes total, easy mod that will set your mind at ease so you don't go polluting your gear oil or blow out your seals.

Quick and easy install
Worked perfectly for my 2019 Toyota 4 Runner. The install was wuick and easy and the threads matched the ones on my rear differential. There was enough tube to do the rear diff and e-locker, though I had to buy an enlarging hose coupler to join the ARB tube to the OEM e-locker breather tube. No biggie as it was less than $2 for a pack at the local auto store. The block and filter were easily mounted near high on the side wall in the engine bay just behind the air box/intake. Maybe took 30 mins to install. Quick tip: start running the tubes from the engine bay, down, and back. Also, if you're doing elocker and diff, just fold the tube in half and run/secure it as one then just cut/separate it in the rear to give u the two connections. I thought about just running one tube to the filter then using a splitter/T-coupler in the rear, but I wasn't sure if that was a good idea. I guess running two lines will at least keep things separate.

Easy install on a 2023 4Runner
I installed the breather in the engine bay and ran hoses back to the rear differential and rear differential locker breathers on my 2023 Toyota 4Runner ORP. It was a straightforward install, my advice would just be to take your time and double check how you route the hose, you'll want to steer clear of exhaust components.

Simple installation
The arb diff breather kit Includes all parts, Was straightforward and simple to install. Plenty of tubing is provided for most off road platform applications .Now both my front and rear solid axles have a central manifold for fresh air in the engine compartment . Preventing any deep water crossings from letting water enter the axles . I installed these kits on two vehicles . Both Landcruiser's (60 series ) fj62, (80 series) fzj80.

Excellent product
Did the update on 4runner rear differential. Did not use the self threaded bolts that come in the kit. Bought an M6 bolt and bolted the manifold to an existing threaded hole in the passenger side of the engjne bay, next to the air filter. Comes with 4 plugs for two breathers but can buy extra plugs since manifold holds up to 4. Video overview on how to below.https://youtu.be/Ob6oHB7vaGE?si=2yMG20bfem79G_0o

Worked Great On Our 2021 4Runner
After taking our 2021 4Runner out on a couple off-roading adventures, we realized that we needed to mod our truck to prevent any possible issues with water getting in our rear differential. This kit did the job!First with the positives. This kit has everything you need for modding your truck. I mounted the manifold in the engine and still had plenty of tubing left over. I'm also very happy with the quality of the manifold and tubing (though with a complaint, see below). The push-connect parts also made installation very easy while giving confidence that it won't pull out.I only have two complaints with this kit. First, some steps in the instructions weren't the easiest to understand, but there are plenty of YouTube videos to get around this. More concerning is that the sturdiness of the material causes the tubing to kink very easily due to the natural coil. If you don't straighten out the tubing before running it through your truck, DO NOT pull to uncoil the tubing. Take the extra time to carefully uncoil the tubing. I mistakenly pulled on the tubing too hard to straighten it out and it bent right in half. I was worried this kink would cause the tube to crack, but fortunately it did not.This is an awesome kit and I recommend this if you plan to do any water fording in your truck. It's an easy DIY, even if you're like me and do not have much experience working on cars.

Fits 2004 Nissan Xterra rear differential
Excellent diff breather kit. The kit includes four push-to-connect threaded hose connectors, which conveniently fit as a direct replacement for the 04 Nissan Xterra breather. My OEM breather was severely clogged and rusted, which likely was the cause for my rear pinion seal leaking.
