Lads I cannot remember if this is connected to anything?
 

That is the charcoal vent can for the fuel tank. That thing your pointing at is supposed to have a loose fitting cap on rather than a pipe ;-)

You can connect it to a hose and up to a high point, but dont link it to your diff/Gbox/Tbox breathers.

And on the subject of breathers... Dont link the diffs to the gearbox's if possible, especially with air lockers (if you have them). I blew a bung on the gearbox by having it connected to the rear diff breather when a seal gave out on the air locker and pressuried the whole axle housing to 90psi, then spat 90psi into the gearbox   

J999 MNY, ULYSSES M18 VVT with ITB's Dyno tested at 130hp

Pickup/tipper, R7me gearbox & 6.4 Rocklobster, 31" Toyo MT, 2x ARB air locker 3.9 diffs in braced axles, 6" total lift, Floating rear conversion, Raptor painted, CB, Recaro's, Caged, etc, etc...

Leakage on the seals on an ARB locker is a fault that I have heard of before. I know a lot of people love them, but there are other designs that don't require compressed air and are all the better for it.

Just my personal opinion.

Well, 3 years later I'm on the point of taking the bipolar Jimny for a spin tomorrow at long last. 
 

Changed bonnet cable, bled the brakes, and painted the floor under the back seats. Hope to be driving by tomorrow  .

I found the cap for the charcoal thingy thanks man. Ok re the breathers dont have lockers in the diffs so hope to get away with it. Thanks Riccy.
