Have a look under the plastic cover on your engine. Some guy in the US with a 2013 found it there. It's the hose with the green plastic cap. If that's what it is, no need to extend it further.

A bump on this, most kits come with a 1/8npt thread, I got a kit a few years ago and went to go install it on the rear of my JK, to find the fitting (factory barb) is much larger. does anyone know the thread size of the barb fittings on the diffs?

G'Day all, I've just extended my diff breathers with fuel line, screw clamps and fuel filters I got from Supercheap. The t-case breather already pops out high enough in the engine bay against the fire wall, located under the plastic engine cover. Like most, the problem is locating the gearbox breather, as I've got a manual. From other posts I found out that it's actually located under the gear stick rubber boot, I haven't had a chance to play with it as I'm away but from what I've been shown in pictures it's a bit of a stuff around. I just googled it and posted on here. If anyone has got ideas I'm all ears!

Manual transmission:
1. Pull out shifter boots and front section of console.
2. Remove shifter secured by one screw.
3. Remove part of the foam around breather.
4. Pull out black plastic cap from breather.
5. Wrap rescue tape around elbow and push into breather hole ensuring a tight fit. Alternative is to apply RTV on elbow and place in breather but I preferred not to do
so in case I ended up blocking the hole with the RTV.
6. Crawl underneath JK and push tubing into other end of elbow (some lube on the elbow helped).
7. Feed other end into engine bay, cut to length, insert filter and secure to firewall.
8. Apply some RTV around breather/elbow joint to ensure good seal.
9. Place some Aluminium foil over hole left in foam and cover with duct tape.
10. Reinstall shifter boots, shifter and console.
11. Allow RTV to fully cure (24 hours).

Hope that's what you're after.
