breather pipes was created by Tommo
for the diffs what size pipe have people used
would 13mm be about rite?

and would that be rite for the transfer box as well
what have other people done, any pics if any one has any?
and is there any thing I need to know such as the length it needs to be between the chassis and axle

I don't want it too long (will pinch the pipe and not work) or too short (will snap)

for the pipes on the diff just run in along the top of the trailing arm to the chassis and you wont need any pipe flopping around underneath then run it along the chassis up to your snorkel or engine bay as for size of pipe on the diff i used standared garden hose
front diff

rear diff

tbox

gearbox

yes the transfer box and the gear box like in the pics

just use standared garden hose what you water the garden or was your car with and then go to and motor factors and get some hose and clips that will fit the tbox a gbox and get it long enough to go into the engine bay dont ask how much you need get some string run it where you want it to go then measure that and add about a foot thats what i did and mine is all fine and dandy iv never had any problem with it and never will

where's the best place to run the pipes, should i do it up the inside of the snorkel

i know in the pics they run to the engine bay

but if you swim in water deeper than the bonnet hence the reason for a snorkle
the extended breathers are already under water?
