Here is a good comparison between the two, granted the Goodridge is a front line (spare) and the Crown is a rear but the Crown fronts are the same size. But you can see the difference between the two. Also, I have Crown airlines for my lockers F&R, the front one got up against the exhaust and it melted but it never leaked.. looked like hell. I replaced it anyhow, I was looking for it just now to see if I can get a photo but can't locate it... might have tossed it out. Also I may have posted a photo of it before though.

Or get Sean to do a write up. Maybe after he completes the wiring harness rebuild he can do it.


And yes - I am working on my roof rack this Sunday.

Really? Take a pic. I have two lines, one to the driver and one to the passenger side.

Maybe I was misreading.. but yes I have one left and one right.. BUT there are also two lines coming from above. I've seen older vehicles that just have a single rear brake line and that feeds a T-fitting and then that goes to either side. That was my interpretation of a single line.

Went into the garage last night to finish up the storage stuff I've been working on but somehow ended up stripping down, cleaning, and putting a coat of paint on my new elocker axle.

I remember my brief Merchant Marine days in the 70s/80s. Lots of catalog time. Do you have Interwebs?

Yep, I have the interwebs. Not the fastest, but everywhere I want to search isn't blocked, so that's fine with me. Although paypal doesn't like that my IP address is from Ghana. Lol.

they probably arent to be honest. All of my accounts are heavily protected and have good policies if they ever get hacked.

lol That can be a tough part of the world. I met a solid guy recently that boarded a ship to do some 'work' on idiots. The company that owned that boat started with a M, ended with a K, and had a R and a S in there somewhere. Stay safe.

Nice. My brother had a Captain license and did the Middle East for a while (that's where he learned not to look at a guys multiple wives). His last gig was running barges between PR and Miami. One of his last trips they trapped some guys in a container where they were stealing components out of cars being shipped. My brother thought it was hilarious that the guys had plenty of time to put the stuff back but they just kept banging on the side of the container to be let out. He let them out when the Coast Guard arrived. :)

Well I was really rocking and rolling in the garage working on the roof rack. I was starting to clamp a few pieces down and noticed that it was not lining up right. In my enthusiasm to get stuff cut fast and removing material from the 1/8" flat stock I managed to wrap the piss out of it. So I am backing up and rethinking my process for these sides.

I also installed new windsheild washer heads on my '01 4Runner. The new ones are from a 4th gen 4runner and are a direct fit install. The difference is the stock 3rd gen 4Runner head has two spray holes and the 4th gen has 3 spray holes. They work much nicer now.
