Designed for the LandCruiser 79 Series, this 3-way driveline diff breather kit relocates the factory breather outlets higher in the vehicle. It helps reduce the risk of water or mud entering the differentials and transmission during off-road driving.

Moving the breather outlets higher can help reduce the chance of contaminated oil during water crossings. Vehicle water-crossing limits and the installation requirements still apply.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I fit diff and drivetrain breathers?

Factory breathers are often short and located low, which can let water and dust enter when the components heat up and cool down. Extended breathers relocate the vents higher and use filters to reduce the risk of water and contamination entering differentials, gearboxes and transfer cases, especially in off-road and water crossing use.

What is the main benefit of installing the LandCruiser 79 Series 3 Way Driveline Diff Breathers?

The primary benefit of installing the LandCruiser 79 Series 3 Way Driveline Diff Breathers is to prevent water and debris from entering the differential and transmission. By relocating the breathers above the water line, you reduce the risk of contamination during water crossings or muddy conditions, which can lead to significant wear and potential failure of your driveline components.

How does the installation process work for these diff breathers?

Installation of the LandCruiser 79 Series 3 Way Driveline Diff Breathers is straightforward. The kit includes a heavy-duty 316 stainless steel angle fixture that can be mounted using dual methods for added security. The custom-made breathing tube connects to the differential and transmission, ensuring a high flow of air while preventing contaminants from entering.

Are these diff breathers compatible with other modifications or lift kits?

Yes, the LandCruiser 79 Series 3 Way Driveline Diff Breathers are compatible with most lift kits and modifications. However, it's essential to ensure that the breathers are positioned correctly to maintain their effectiveness, especially if the vehicle is lifted significantly. Always check the routing of the breathing tubes to avoid kinks or obstructions.

What is the filtration rate of the breathers, and why is it important?

The breathers in the LandCruiser 79 Series 3 Way Driveline Diff Breathers have a filtration rate of 40 microns. This is crucial as it prevents fine particles and contaminants from entering the differential and transmission, which can cause wear and damage over time. A higher filtration rate means better protection for your driveline components, especially in harsh environments.

Can I install the diff breathers myself, or do I need professional assistance?

While the installation of the LandCruiser 79 Series 3 Way Driveline Diff Breathers can be done by a competent DIY enthusiast, professional assistance is recommended if you're unsure about the process. Proper installation is key to ensuring the breathers function correctly and provide the intended protection against contamination.
