Default Where are the diff breathers on a WJ?

I haven't found them but want to make sure they're not too susceptible to water ingress

Front one is secured on top of the left hand shockie mount. The rear one is in amongst the hoses in the fuel tank filler neck recess. Both are at least headlight high, which is pretty deep without a snorkel hehe...

It comes out from under the wheel arch in the rear one left one I think, Just last sunday I bought 2 cheap fuel filters and was going to replace the hose and run both to the engine firewall..

Don't think that you really need to worry about the diff breathers as they are both higher than the engine air filter as mentioned by troutman.

I got wind yesterday that the part number for the Saffari snorkel for the V8's will be out very very soon! Then the diesel to follow.... Once my snorkel is on diff breathers will be re-located to the engine bay up near the ECU for me anyways!
