Diff breathers

I been reading up on the diff breathers I read on a post here the wading depth is something like 600mm but what will the breathers actually cope with, will the stay water tight with the occasional dunk or is it better to just not submerge them

Hi Mole - I thought the wading depth on the Gen 4 was 210mm. Maybe wrong on that. I am not certain by how much the breathers will increase that - but would be really interested to find out i.e. before the 'next thing in line' gets affected by the water level.

I intend to fit breathers myself (to the Jimny - don't think they'll do much for me personally!), and appreciate you raising the topic. Thanks

@ Mole I don't know what year jim you have
But i got a 1/8 bsp tapered tap and pulled off the breather cap tapped the spout
Then used these
Male Elbow 1/8 BSP to 6mm pipe Brass pre-coated thread Push to fit type Buy It Now

Cheap as chips compared to the kits you can buy

That's a great idea thanks for that I'll look in to that. Is it something to consider even its its the occasional dunk ro is it better to just be safe than sorry

Better safe than sorry imo
You can never tell how deep it is
I have them on axles, transfer, gearbox all up to a manifold on bulk head then up into top of snorkel
Cost me around a tenner
