Vents?
 

Need some help here.

I've forgotten where everything vents to... our summer trip this year looks like the
Fordyce and the 'Con, and the Fordyce has a lot of deeper water crossings. So, where
are the vents for:
Front axle?
Rear axle?
Tranny?
Transfer case - its an Atlas - where is the vent on it?

I suspect I will need to do some work and move some vent lines around before this
trip. I have not messed with them before, since I make it a point to stay out of
deep water, but this trail gives no choice.

And yes, I know where my air intake is. =P
Thanks.

The t-case vent line should be coming of the top and terminating up by
the battery, the front diff's should come up the side of the rad, the
back one tucks up high in a fender corner and Jeep wants the tranny to
just fill up because they only put a stooopid button vent on it.

I pulled the button vent out of mine and used JB weld to sick a piece of
gas line in to use as a nipple for my vent hose I ran up by the battery
beside the t-cases'. I also ran my rear one inside the frame and all
the way up to the battery too.

Thanks Mike. Thats a help. Good thing its a long ways off until the trip. I just
looked outside and we have 2-3 inches of snow. That wasnt there when I got up this
morning! Granted we have been below freezing for a week now - nothing unusual where
you are I guess.
