Creeper breather kit

Anyone use these? I like the idea, but wonder how they hold up to water crossings. Maybe if you did a lot of water crossings a year you would probably want to replace yearly

These work well on my ATV... I have never used them on a Land Cruiser. But since the ATV sees alot more terrain and water than my Land Cruiser, I can say they work well on the ATV. It is on a much smaller DIFF though, and my only thought is if it is on a much larger diff, do you need a larger one for more expansion and retraction??

On my land cruiser I just bought new hose and installed longer ones that go all the way into the engine bay on the front and to the top of the floor at the back.

Thanks. I like the simple install.

I had them on my 74 for a while. Both my rear axle seals blew after a while.
I can't conclusively say it was because of the bellows breathers, but I replaced them with tubing and filters and never had the problem again.

Exact same thing happened to a friend's 74 around the same time - blew both rear axle seals. He also replaced his with tubing and filters and no repeat of the problem.
