Breather vents for transmission and transfercase ?

Post by candymancan »

So i want to extend the rear diff, transmission and transfercase vents, the front diff is already pretty high stock at the head light, but the rear diff is low pretty much at the fuel filler line roughly and i have no idea where the transfercase and transmission are ?

Ideas on where to run the rear diff line to get it higher ? Same for the trans and transfercase. I ask because i soon plan to take my Jeep off-roading now that i finally replaced the bad ball joints and the bad u joint on the passenger side. But where im going water could possibly get to the doors at least according to the pictures of this place. So i want to be safe

It'd take a lot of hose, but you could run the rear diff vent up to the engine compartment and put it up high there. Also, someone makes a vent that's basically a balloon on a hose - of course it's much more rugged than that, but you get the idea behind it. I don't recall seeing a tranny vent, but my d300 has one coming off the top. Any vents could be routed to the engine compartment, or you could zip-tie them all to the PVC snorkel you could put on running up your A pillar!! (That was a joke :) )
