It will do the job fine, or, you can simply drop into Supercheap and grab some fuel hose (5/16" on the JK, not sure about yours) and some joiners and simply extend the existing ones to where ever you want them to go.

The breather on my WG for the front diff and gearbox are up in the engine bay so no need to extend them, maybe the rear one needs it but just as SeaComms said use a bit of fuel line, I used old fuel filter on the end to keep out the dust.

I reckon the breathers (front and rear) are high enough and don't need extending if you don't plan on sitting the vehicle in a meter of water.

If the water got to the front breathers, water in the diffs would be a minor problem.

Yeah must admit I havent done mine & the factory ones are high enough unless you have a snorkel & are brave enough to take the grand swimming.

Hi all. I understand the value of diff breathers but I thought I'd revive this thread and see if anyone had fitted a diff breather kit yet to their WK2 Grand? If so, did you do it yourself and was it easy? If not, if someone else installed it how much did it cost? TJM & ARB want $90 plus per pair to fit which I think is a bit excessive.

Cheers,

Clarkey.
