what are you guys doing for the e-locker breather mod?
I have the ARB kit and did the read diff breather mod without issue running up to my jack compartment.
However the e-locker is different.
there is no breather to unscrew and replace.
instead there is a very skinny hose that runs up to the little one way valve breather thingy.
i took the hose off, but the fitting is too small to work with the ARB supplied hose.
Are you guys using an adapter or am i missing something here?

....yes

I used a vacuum connector from O'Reily to connect to the existing hose off the locker. Also had to buy more tubing to be sure I had enough length (was conservative with the arb hose for the rear diff and didn't have enough left).

Here's the connector assortment that had one that worked.

OK, thanks for the replies.
off to O'Reilly's

Look at my photos of the e-Locker breather mod I did. I used an adapter to fit the hose and connected to the same hose.The thread on my mod with photos of the parts:
E-Locker and Differential Breather install, Trail Edition

nice write up.
I bought the various adapter kit from O'Reilly's and it worked out just fine.
I ran mine to the jack compartment.

I didn't worry about it. once you relieve the vacuum the issue is mute. The one way valve they use isn't the failure point and both of those valves go into the same airspace in the dif, they needed two because the valves limit flow and there is added volume and heat from a locking dif mechanism. There is no seal between them. One free flow path should be just fine. If anything I may remove that valve and plug the hole with a cap.

Sorry for the bump and the n00b question. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is what you're saying is that we only need to do the ARB diff breather because the locker breather is connected to the same airspace as the dif?

That’s exactly what I’m saying.

Thanks. Just needed clarification.

I have a question ....

Can you tap the e-locker port to accept the fittings (shark bite) that came with the breather kit?

I called ARB and they said it was a 1/8” BSP threads

I couldn't find it anywhere but a local electrical and plumbing store. I removed the e-locker breather from the hose, inserted the barbed end into the hose and screwed the shark bite fitting into the hose barb adapter. Just the solution I was looking for.

Using the existing hose to the e-locker was easier than removing it and trying to tie directly into the locker. There really isn't enough room to do it that way. Using the existing hose is simpler, already accounts for suspension travel and is nicely mounted to the frame cross member.

This is awesome. Thank you
