Rear diff breather for cheap

Took a couple hours after work today to install the rear diff breather extension. Just some cheap 5/16 fuel line ,the nipple part(will post part #) from Toyota, and some clampa from Home Depot.

 

I chose to route inside the jack compartment, there is a grommet hidden somewhere on the towards bottom, if you look for it you'll definitely find it. Popped the grommet and fed a healthy length of line through the hole, the got under the vehicle to locate it. It came out somewhere withing the bumper, pryed the bumper a bit and pulled the line through. Then routed over the crossmember to the nipple and secured with a clamp. Made sure to leave plenty slack for suspension travel. Secured with zip tie to prevent the line from getting close to the exhaust. Hopefully.

 

Lol, I spent the longest time on drilling the gommet, and putting it back with the fuel line through it, was very awkward. In hindsight, I would drill the grommet, put it back in the hole and then feed the hose through, would have made life much easier.

 

Finished product.

 

While in there I sprayed some Fluid Film on and in the crossmembers, and the spare tire chain and mechanism.

 

Left the e locker breather alone this come, will come back later to splice it to the main line.

 

Good job, but please cut the zip tie ends off flush, you’ll thank me later.

 

Flush cuts for the win! I think I have 5 floating around in my garage and vehicles now.
