Nice breather location.
I was beefing up my scuba kit connections with heat shrink tubing and I decided to try to find a better place to mount my breather filters. I also decided to relocate the front diff breather too. When we were relocating the T-case and manual trans breather, my friend accidently busted my engine cover. I like it better without it anyhow. So after I took off the cover, I was left with some threaded holes high on top of the engine. It is the perfect spot for the relocated breathers. Looks pretty cool too IMO.
I decided to do the front diff because although it is already fairly high, I was left with a vacant filter because the Trans and T-case are vented by the same hose. So I just figured I might as well do it. I thought I'd just pull the breather off the hose and splice the new tube in and run it to the new filter. I wasn't able to just pull the breaher off the tube. Unlike the e-locker breather, the front diff is like glued into the tube. The base of the cap is also much wider than the e-locker. So, I had to pry the cap off the breahter and use the method I though I needed for the manual Trans. Just a small bit of 10mm rubber hose, two small worm clamps, and a quick connect fitting. Inexpensive and easy.
Here are a few pics of the new location of the breathers and the front diff extension.
