After sucking a gutful of water into my diffs and redoing the front end, I want to re do the breathers front and rear.
On my old Hilux i used the hose and filter method with good results but I'm looking for something a little tidier and not having to run hose everywhere and the Trail Gear ones look like they fit the bill perfectly.
Anyone had experience with these breathers or can recommend something similar?
If its not upside down and on fire, I'm not trying hard enough.......

i was looking/ thinking of a nice easy/ neat way to do diff brethers. this way looks nice, but i hate waiting for things to be ordered in!
could i connet a line from the top of the dif then the other end into the air box? this way it would be filtered air and it will be as dry as what the engine is brething.

would this work ok or not?
Correct me if I'm wrong but breathers also vent outwards which would mean it would vent into the airbox? I don't know if this would cause any harm, perhaps someone could enlighten this further?

only if the diff oil made it up the line into the airbox... pretty unlikely given the expansion/contraction likely in a diff housing. Also, having it in the airbox where theres a snorkel etc attached would mean positive pressure in the airbox pushing down the diff's airline.

Wouldn't be worried about the wait, I've never had to wait long for any of my orders from locktup.

to gain possitive pressure in the airbox you would have to be going along the road at 200+ kmh!

its probably easy to pressurise the airbox with a snorkel. I reakon at 100km/h just take your foot off the accellerator while coasting in neutral....

they look like a pretty good idea, only thing i would be concerned about is them deteriorating or being ripped off, i think it would take a little more effort to get the hose i have on there ripped off, but still a good idea, i might consider them, specially for 20 bucks

Anyone prove me wrong?
Not big enough volume.

Glad you said it, Maybe in a comp rig but I would never seal any diff housing ( thats what you are doing with these) on a daily driven rig. 99% of hub seals I do at work are due to blocked breathers And something that has the volume of approximatly 100c will never allow for for the expansion of approx 20L of oil and air. IMHO
