welllllllll your front diff vent is going to be on the firewall on the drivers side
(its the tube that has a little white cap on it)

transfercase is going to be high up on the bell housing
no pic...

rear diff vent will be stuck into the "frame" rail right above the axle


run the rear behind the gas door and put a filter on it
run the trans up to the stock front vent
the front vent is most likely good to go

if i was super worried about the breather being under water couldn't i go to the extreme and run the lines to the intake and be done with it or would that make to much - pressure
