Hey Denis,Further to @ninetubes confirmation elsewhere (https://www.theineosforum.com/threads/out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new.12412945/#post-1333234286 ) of the suitability of M10 x1mm push fit hose fittings for the diff breathers.... I would like to clarify as to whether there is one breather each per F/R axle or are two fitted to each axle?
Can the breathers for the auto transmission and the transfer case be extended as well?
Also, how does one route the 8mm hose to the front ... tied with cable ties?
thanks in advance!

One vent per axle located on top of the diff “pumpkin” which are offset to the LHS of the vehicle. Jump under and they are pretty easy to spot. Look for the locker actuation wiring and follow that if you need a landmark.
I used a SAAS universal diff breather kit from eBay, plus bought M10x1.0 fittings so suit the hose in the kit. It comes with all the zip ties you could possibly need to secure the hose.
I ran the hoses down from the top of the diff housing along the lower control arms to the chassis. Then along and up the firewall into the engine bay. I terminated the hoses in the vent/filter block and mounted it in the back LHS of the engine bay (AUS passenger side, for clarity)
Took about 1/2 hour.
Next time I have it on the hoist I’ll snap some photos.
Hope this answers your question.
I felt like the tc & trans vents were high enough to be above factory wading depth limit, which I don’t anticipate needing to exceed (by much )
Remembering that they shouldn’t suck water when they submerge if they have had a chance to cool first. Which you can control as a driver (don’t send it neck deep at 120kmh on the odd occasion you find yourself crossing water that depth). But I respect other folks operating needs will differ from mine, so each to their own.
