if you're going to be a stingy suzuki owner you might as well just use bong tubing... or mums garden hose, IMO do it once... do it properly.

im going to get into this on the weekend for my zook...is it 10mm or 12mm hose I need?

Thanks

[Rusho]

Garden hose is 12mm

[da13ro]

Hey guys (new here) sold my zook 12months ago - and now sorting out getting another back (coily hehe).

Rusho, you finding the garden hose still holding up? I did it to mine but found that the hose would crack where it joins onto the diffs after a couple of weeks. If yours is still going strong I better get me some of that!

Cheers,
Brodie J.

[Rusho]

Still holding together pretty well. Don't get the really cheap shit. I got the expensive garen hose, $22 for 20 meters Get a coily, they are the best, everyone else just lives in denile

Nice work,

you know your aussie when you don't want to pay for something and would rather make your own...

[Rusho]

New hose is going in soon. Bunnings here we come

[MacDaddy]

Just did a search on ebay for Diff breather kits, they start at around $50, to over $200 -

Some look very flashy...

I made a kit also last year, LINK
just highlighting it as i dont use garden hose, rather made it with fuel/oil hose and put a reducer in so it wasnt so bulky. Done cape york and several other severe crossings without a drop of water in the diffs whereas the t-case got some in it (no breather on there at that stage). was very cheap also. probably around 50 bucks total.

not dissin your kit mate, just raising an alternative to the garden hose.

Each to there own mate. I haven't had a problem with the garden hose, been on there for 2 years

[Scales]

oh absolutley, love the ingenuity of your job actually.

[Mouse]

I used air hose, did it about 5 years ago and still hasnt gone hard, also found some really neat little fuel filters at autopro the other week smaller again then atari's so i changed them over, one thing i was told when i did mine was to make sure you have some hose at the end pointing down and make sure the filters were upside down aswell to stop any water going up

[MADZUK]

hi guys.. just wondering do you take the cap of the breather and if so how you get it off? sorry first seirra and a bit of noob question haha cheers

[Rusho]

Don't be sorry mate. Gotta learn somehow. Yeh take it off. From memory I pryed mine off with a screw driver.

[whincup]

i was going to try the claw end of a hammer when i get around to doing mine... how long did that hose last before starting to fall apart rusho, or are you just replacing it just to play it safe?

[SierraDan]

A screw driver does the job.. Just need to pull out the indent and it comes off.

I'm only replacing it because I chopped it out for the transfer and front diff swap. The garden hose would still be going alright.

[coily96]

I seen this diff man kit on bris 31, hose looks a little small to fit on the sierra diffs, but not a bad price for a whole kit.

[Bruce]

What is there smaller diffs around in the 4x4 scene smaller than zook diffs?

[coily96]

Not the complete diff, the breather pipe attached to the diff are alot smaller on bigger 4x4's, patrols are alot smaller.

[Deego]

Where is the hat piece located on the gearbox to put hose onto
