    I had a friend that did this...Only problem is the Baloon tends to degrade over time. Sometimes as quickley as a few months or less. Better off just doing the extended breather, and putting it where water wont get into it. :)

    there was one that kinda looked like a small, closed shock boot that didnt look too bad. attached to the diff and was like 5" long or so...kinda the same deal but more rugged than a balloon

    modified total chaos uppers and lowers... king coilovers, deaver leafs, full cage, 351w motor swap, etc..
    just use a piece of tube and extend it... fuel injection line works best because it tends to not break down so fast.. i have my running up my bedcage to the height of the top side of my bedside. if water gets that far i have more to worry about then my axle.

    Sounds like a workable solution....however, nothing works better than a length of hose.

    On my 96 tacoma, I used 3/8" ID tubing (that orange stuff you get at home depot - it was onsale) and ran it the whole way to the engine compartment. I also extended the front diff breather with same tubing and T'd it in with the rear tubing up at the clutch resevoir.
