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.
 
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.

Thanks, good to know
