1Coolbanana's Grande Build Up

I have all my breathers raised and then thought about the pump for the rear suspension. Did you check how high up this baby actually sits? Could it be a problem such that it could suck water over a decent crossing?

Bugger!
Good point!
Where is the inlet for the air pump?
I did have a quick look and it looked like it was going up between the bumper and body into the quarter but maybe thats something else?
Do you know where your is?

The front diff breather is a piece of cake to do in a few minutes since its already up near the fuse box.
Found a 5/16 brass elbow I had in my junk and some 5/16 fuel line.



Ran it straight out to the guard along the fuse box



Behind the charcoal cannister and the chopping board up into the corner behind the strut mount and cable tied to the chopping board



Im still using the original breather valve on the end as I didnt have a small filter but that will come.

Front done

Now to try and sort out transfer case and auto breathers.

The transfer and auto breather proved to be a royal pain to get to so while it was up on a hoist I got the guy to extend the tubes into the engine bay so I could finish them off properly.

The auto breather was a very poor plastic affair so a Ryco went on the end of that and the transfer still has the OEM valve on it which seems to work fine but will change that to a filter as well.

Here they are on the right side of the engine bay in the back corner.
Was tossing up whether to join them all together into one filter but not sure if thats a great idea or not??

Nice job with the breathers mate. You've prompted me to get on and finish doing mine. I did the rear one but stopped there - I guess I've been put off by getting to the auto and trans ones.

They are a bugger to get to. An absolute &**(^@#$%^ to do lying on your back by yourself.
If there is anyway you can sweet talk your local garage to put it on the hoist for you its well worth it.
Just connect them up, drag them up into the engine bay and tidy it all up at home.

Stebel horns arrived, next thing on the to-do list .

139db should be a little better than the road runner horn

That is one cool banana haha

Was always interested in how loud they were. I don't think the YouTube videos do it justice. Let us know what you think.

Cheers
