Check this out: www.yotatech.com/~cory/tech/jackson_/breather/breather.htm

Needs to be an under score between jackson and the /, I put it in but because of the underline you can't see it and it don't work. When you type it in it will work.

here is what i did... i used a $3 fuel filter and ziptied it behind my tail light... if my truck is in water higher than my tail light, i dont think i will be worried about water in my breather....

oh yeah, the whole mod was under $10 -- now thats something i can afford

X2 that, just go to Autozone and get fuel line... and get it up as high as possible...

i actually used some clear tubing i got from the hardware store right next to the brass fittings .... probably a lot cheaper than fuel line

I just ordered up some of the remote breather caps from toyota, per the thread on yotatech, and will be mounting them up high and installing a nipple in the housing.

I've had water over my tailights countless times.........mount it closer to the cab or in the cab if anything..not the back of the truck

[kneedownnate]

That's kinda what I was thinkin too dtb.  You got you a part # for that nissan nipple?

[DTB]

Nissan (PART# 38323-C6010)

[Yota Tony]

I argee on mounting them in the cab if you can.

He said he thought it was for either a tacoma or landcruiser

Marlin also carries the kit to extend the breather on the axle

its e-spensive though  I made 2 for less than the price of 1 marlin one

[fatt_matt]

quality or quantity?

[DTB]

quality or quantity?

u tell me...is it worth 60 dollars plus shipping for 2 axle breathers?

[eightyfive]

quality or quantity?

???they're just axle breathers! unless they're using stanless steel lines then it's just rubber hose and fittings.

oh, i would NEVER pay 60+ for axle breathers

2 threaded nipples for the diffs.  3.00 
12 feet of 1/2" high temp tubing - $10
4 zip ties                                    .25

  works for me.

And bear in mind, none of us are talking smack about marlin or their products.  All of us who've posted on this have undoubtedly dropped some coin on marlin products, but some of us choose to make the things we're able to build ourselves for ourselves to save green.  The way I see it, it gives us a little extra to buy more marlin parts that we can't build, or don't want to build ourselves

this is the way to go just get a 1/4 in pipe nipple with a 1/4npt and tap the housing to 1/4npt and thread the nipple in and press this on its sealed but still allows room for expantion and contraction

here
  the 90930- 03136  is from a 4runner one of the 2nd or third gens
90404-51319  the one below it is on the efi 22re  hose coming from the brake booster to the intake.

[BLACKDOG]

  man, I just took the old breather cap out, and took it to a hardware store.  Went to their brass fittings, and found one that matched the thread with a hose barb.  cost me a 1.50 a piece.

[robrub00]

they are metric but standard will work  4crawler talkes about tunning a tap to make it sae.  but i just wanted to post the pic someone else linked  i paid extra and got the toyota brather and snaged the efi  fittings out of mu old 22re and one out of a spare intake i had lying around!  could have got the 4runner breather out of a junkyard but i wasnt going down there.  i need to install them, but i need to get the engine in first.  this is a preaty simple task.  but worth while if you like water!

X2  Nate you hit the nail.

Yeah or don't waste time tapping the housing.  Brass is softer than steel and the 1/4 npt is so close it'll go in pretty easily from what I've heard.  Just screw it in.

That bellow looks like the hot ticket though!  You could just submerge the whole thing and not have to worry about running a lot of hose to keep the filter on the end dry.
