    Taking suggestions on how to do a differential breather mod. I've seen the kits for sale at auto part stores, but they honestly look like something I could put together myself. What do y'all recommend?

    Do it yourself. It's super easy. Here's a write-up on how to do it, with links to parts. Nice thing is that it's the same parts for a 3rd gen as it was for a 1st gen (or 2nd gen for that matter).

    Yeah, don't waste your money on those "kits". $20 and a few minutes of your time will get the job done.

    And you shouldn't need one for the front. Just the rear. Not 100% sure about the 3rd gens, but teh 1st gens had the front diff and trans routed inside the engine compartment...

    I got the @state48overland kit. I like that it changed all 3 breathers into dual breathing breathers.

    That’s a tongue twister
