Overkill rear axle breather

[Eldorado556]

After the new suspension install my axle breather kept popping off. So today I put on some longer hose. While trying to figure out where to put the end I spied the bolts I had put in when I removed my rear seatbelts. So I took out a bolt, routed the hose through and put the breather cap back on. Now the end of the breather is inside the cab. Only works if you don't plan on using rear seatbelts, or if you drill a hole for the hose.

Does your cab smell like gear oil?

His seats have skidmarks. No oil smell.

My suggestion is to get a really long piece of hose and run it from the breather on the axle to the engine compartment. Top with a cheap fuel filter. Then attach it to the firewall as high as possible.

Running it in the cab is going to stink.

Actually moving mine up to behind fuel door.

Good idea. I did the same thing with my Tacoma, but I had a flatbed so the rear breather was just routed up as high as possible. The oil smell didn't cross my mind.

Just finished my lift yesterday and noticed this issue as well.

Can I use any type of hose for this breather or it requires any exact type (pressure wise)?

I'll move mine behind fuel door as well.

I ran both axles, my T-case and trans into the same system which terminates with a small filter up high on the firewall. The final section of tube points down so gravity won't drop tidbits in there for me.

I used fuel hose that was laying around for a while...
Also have both axles, TC & tranny breathers going to engine bay on fire wall by the hood...
Over kill on mine......yes, probably.......
