Diff breathers

[Wayneos]

This was a major selling point of the Ineos Grenadier for me, if it falls short of what was promised then it will be a big disappointment.

Has anyone seen raised diff breathers in the engine bay on the drive days?

I'll ask on my drive day.

Old thread, but one to which I do not know the answer for certain - @Ingemar, can you help here?

Missed it, but it's good to know.

He can hopefully tell us where they are.

And start thinking about raising them.

And start thinking about raising them.

From my recollection they are high up at the back in the engine compartment If you take water in through them then your already floating and in deep trouble

Breather lines are already installed?

At the DC event today I asked where they were, and the rep (Tim?) pointed them out on the ramped Grenadier...unfortunately it is not relocated up high into the engine compartment, the front one that he pointed out to us was a simple differential vent located on the driver side portion of the front diff/axle (obviously this could be remedied with a piece of fuel line and zip ties) Regrettably I did not take pictures of this but will do so next week at the NY event.

As Promised, here are some pictures I was able to snag of the diff vents on the ramped Grenadier at the NY event.

-Red Arrow indicates the Front Differential Vent (Driver side biased)
-Green Arrow indicates Rear Differential Vent (Passenger Side Biased)

Nothing Special, as expected, but here they are FWIW

Fantastic. First photo I've seen of them.

I think I recall @Ingemar mentioning, in one of his videos, that his had extended lines? I wonder if that was extra prep by Ineos post production line?

Do you have any idea how those diff breathers work at the full wading depth of 800mm

Working assumption is that they are just one way.

That's how it looks to me- just like the Toyota factory ones. Hopefully they are easily unscrewed and then replaced with a real breather higher up.
