But was curious as to the possible advantage of installing the breather in the filler neck gasket. I'm not too keen on the look of it sticking out there so I security tied my breather as high up on the filler neck behind the plastic shroud as possible. Also twisted a loop in the hose just above the axle to give it more room for movement so hose wouldn't get pulled off the nipple (threaded union)
I did it like that link did it. I think the reason for it is that it is a high spot, relatively clean (doesn't get splashed), and accessible. Some guys have run it inside the cab, which is fine too.
Personally, I don't care about it coming out the filler neck gasket. I never even noticed it when filling and I don't see a problem with it. I ran my diff-lock breather up there too. Both are very out of the way, and stay clean.

x3, just behind it. Didnt like the look of it going through the gasket.

I didn't think about that. Have any pics of what you did?
Not available. I could take one tonight, but there really isn't much to it. Check out my build thread. I have a pic I took right after taking off the filler neck gasket. There is a ton of sand and crap right behind the gasket, so pushing it through the gasket does make a big difference in how dirty it gets.
I didn't have the breather tube piped up there at the time I took that pic though.

I'll just look at mine and hopefully I have some tubing laying around the house I can steal off some other project.
I ran mine up under the hood (drivers side wheel well)
I'd have some concerns about gear oil odors inside the cab when running it into the interior.
