    Diff Breathers for GQ

    Hi all
    First off, I was wondering, is it worth fitting diff breathers to my GQ for the money? I've been looking at two types of kits, here are the links.

    If I do get any, I reckon the hoseless kit is pretty cool...but what do you guys think would be a better, more reliable kit?
    Cheers

    Haven't seen that hoseless kit before looks pretty cool although guess it could be more prone to snagging and damage maybe ? ?

    I have that other kit from roadrunner and is a nice little kit very happy with it. Have both diffs, gearbox, transfer and high mount running to it.

    I've seen that similar hose-less setup on my mates HJ40 cruiser. It was ancient, and we assume it was a factory setup. It was more of a one way valve, with a small rubbery balloon type thingamajig!! I'll grab a photo next time I see it.

    The only thing I don't like about the hose type kits is that the buds face upwards, so there is a remote possibility of water running down the hose. Made mine with cheap fuel filters with the opening facing downwards. Only lost about 50mm in height.

    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Definitely the case if you do enough water crossing. Keep the diffs & diff oil seals happy.
