Being new to 4 Wheeling, these types of ‘How to’ vids are great. Keep them coming✅

Very nice demo vid. I imagine it took 2x longer to do it and record it for everyone else's benefit so high thanks.

I just left the original fittings in the diffs and used the supplied fittings in the breather block for the diffs, transfer case and transmission.

very informative explanation, I always knew to use breather hoses and why axles needed them, but had never heard about the temperature change causing it

Great video. I am with some of the others and may just extend my existing with a filter. I do enjoy the 'shade tree' feel of your videos. It is nice to know that I do not always need a $5k lift to change the oil

excellent tutorial vid. properly explaining everything i needed to know. I personally did not fully understand how the breather works, (causing water to suck in).

Nicely explained. You should do more of these..around electrics, batteries (serial vs. parallel), park heaters, etc

that's a nice set up. I used the stock breather plugs with just basic hosing that I ran up into my air intake with a t adapter between the front and rear with a single line into my intake. cheap. cost me like $25 for the rubber hose and the t. but that is awesome with the professional kit. thanks for the videos!

This is one of my next projects on my FJ80... great video Michael!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

That was a pretty good instructional vid, I need those for my RRC

Great explanation, thank you Sir!

Older vid, but the hose can be removed if needed. These are so called sharkbite connectors. Take a wrench about the size of the hose and slide it down on the black plastic on the fitting until it clicks, then pull on the hose. It should come right out.

Another great video Sir

Thanks for the vid, it has been quite informal and fits the purpose. Just to make it/or another install/tip vid even better; take some close ups of important build steps and comment on them. Thanks, thumb up.

Very very cool video most instructive! Thank you.

Great video!! Diff breathers are important, no doubt. I would say if you anticipate any water, get the extended breathers installed (not those cheap accordion style socks or balloons). However, in my experience, it really only becomes an issue if you're doing deep, cold, wide crossings. You need be in water long enough to cool the housing, and the air/gear oil inside enough to create the vacuum. Small streams puddles are not really an issue...At least for me anyway. But better safe than sorry. $70.00 -$100 is not a big price to pay for peace of mind. Still a good idea to check/change your diff oil after doing water crossings anyway, even with breathers installed.

Great video. Thanks!

Great video, I just picked up the ARB kit for my FJ and extra to do the t-case/transmission and also ill use the left over line to make a new starter breather line. Im looking at locating mine inside towards the rear. Clean air as possible. Thanks again for a great video. Cheers

great vid! i wouldv pointed the breather block holes down to prevent dust or water from gettin in. just a little extra.. cheers

I reckon those supplied push in fittings on the diff won't last long as the breather hose moves in the plastic part with up & down diff movement. I ended up using the original OEM hose barbs and slid 4" of nylon reinforced 1/4 hose over them then pushed the hard breather line into the hose, no worries now. With the gearbox breather on top of the gearbox I reamed out the end of the 1/4 hose to assist it going on to the breather barb and pushed the hard breather tube into the hose. I did notice too that when I pulled the original breathers off they all made a hissing noise as they sucked air into the diff & gearbox, even though the little top hat on the Toyota OEM breather was wobbling around they weren't breathing at all.

Hi. Thanks a lot for the great video. I'm just wondering why you haven't installed the gearbox and transfer case breather(s). Is it perhaps because there are no seals to worry about like those in the axles ?

Very informative!

With what you are saying in preventing water from entering the differential; would installling the air breather on a metal mount a few inches above the top of the hood by the bottom of the windshield be a better place to keep it, instead of the inside of the engine compartment?

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful. However, it is full of nopes. Never put metal tools on your battery. Always wear eye protection. Especially when under the vehicle looking up.

I would of cleaned the area with a small wire brush first before removing the hose and then used the WD40 before cracking it loose just as a little extra insurance and then clean around the base with a piece of folded cloth just to make sure, I think the other two holes are meant for the Gearbox and Transfer case, hope that helps.

How about running it inside the cab?..

What would be the feasibility of running the breather into the cab? Would that create fumes in the cab that you don't want? I'd rather mount it somewhere other than the engine compartment. I'm thinking it would get rather hot in there.

Could you mount the block inside the cab?

nice

I'm pretty sure those are the same style fittings we use on out airlines at work on our saws and other machinery, you can still remove the hose if you want. Push the hose down into the fitting then lift the plastic surround in your case the black ring, then plull on the hose and it should come straight out. A bit dubious about using that fitting on the diff as the hose pushes in and not over top of the valve as the or iginal does. It leaves a hollow around the hose although very slight, where water and dirt could sit and potentially slowly make it way into the diff.

Palpac I wouldn't be worried about dirt getting in them they hold back 114psi at our work all year round without a single leek.

This video is old and I'm kinda late but when your tightening in a fitting like when you were installing it in the axle you can put a small piece of tape over to top so you won't have to worry about dirt or dust getting in.

Hi, which is the P/N of the ARB Differential Breathers for the Toyota 80 Series ? Thanks.

So if you're living in a flood plain, and your roads become flooded, and you need to move through maybe two to three feet of water to get through safety, would the Air Breathers keep your vehicle from sucking in water through the differntial/transmission?

@OverlandBound

Yes!

Love your videos, this one is great. But i have to say, at 3:48, I'm pretty sure you did not mean to say the breather allows water to flow in and out of the diff. I know it was just a slip up, so just fyi. Keep up the awesome channel, looking forward to more of the a Mojave trip!

Would that not affect temperature in diff

Does the front diff have the same stock end cap thing? I thought mine had this big box looking thing. That's for the video, ordering the parts now.

Do you use loctite or teflon tape?

Wouldnt it be better to put it right under the windshield but outside so that the air is cooler than the air in the engine bay? Similar to the air intake but at the hood level.

Great video! I'm assuming that the different adapters in the beginning of the video, are for different vehicles? Also, you did mention that you completed the front diff breather about midway through the video. Would I have to buy another kit, or is this all in the single kit shown here?

@OverlandBound

+Jonathan Herrera Both front and rear are included, but not for the transmission. That would need to be done separately. You could just go buy some hose!

Is WD-40 okay for that? Won’t it get in the diff and mix/cause issue with the diff oil? I would not have thought of WD-40... 🧐

Any idea where I can get these kits in Europe, and a 6 port for a Nissan Pathfinder r51? Thanks

Nice video man! Good info, I recycled the original caps to the end of my hoses as I wasn't aware a open circuit was more beneficial. Have you looked into relocating the transmission/transfer case breather?

afenimor1 differentials are the axles that are connected to your wheels, the shaft that sits between wheels. youll have one shaft front and one shaft back. a locker is simply an item you put in that shaft which locks it so both wheels spin in line. your transmission is completely separate, that is the thing that changes your vehicles gears. do a bit of research before buying anything and potentially loosing money.

where did you get this kit? do you think you could put the transmission and transfer case lines on the holes you plugged?

Mike .... so, i'm assuming that if we were to clean the engine bay [with a water hose] or have someone detail the engine for you, that we should let them know to cover that ARB breather ... right ? ? I'm learning all of this as I go and owning a Jeep is no easy task - but then again, we all know what JEEP stands for - "Just Empty Every Pocket" !!!!! Hahahaha. Thanks for the video.

You can take the hose out just push down on the plastic thing on the fittings and yank the house out.
