Anyone know what the hose that runs right near the exhaust (and actually loops under it with a short rubber hose on the gq is?

I'm assuming it's a gearbox breather....... but it seems a pretty farked up location.

correct.. gearbox breather

i agree with your opinion... I'd make up my own hoses and run em to the firewall.

You're right, gearbox AND transfer case breather, and up on the inner guard, the front diff breather joins in too, and the resulting single hose goes into the LHS front guard, terminating INSIDE the re-inforcing channel up high under the outer guard and about 20cm infront of the windscreen base. I usually feed a hose thru that hole, fit it over the end of the metal breather tubing, and run the other side up the INSIDE of the 'A-pillar' till it's about top of snorkle height. Make sure you fit one of those blue 'differentially permeable' filter thingy's on the end first, stops any oily smells inside the cab!!

If you pull the hose off the top of the rear diff, and run a longer hose across to the RHS 'C-pillar' you can feed the breather up inside that pillar to about the same height! Nice knowing that when the water is half way up the windscreen, it's still not drowning your breathers!
