Transmission Breather?

[paulndot]

I've seen (too many to count) all the diff breather mods...but does the T4R have a transmission breather? A buddy with a 2005 Suburban and another with a Tahoe both have a transmission breather and have added breather tubes. Is this something we need to worry about or look for in the 4Runner?

Front/Rear Diff, TCase and Trans should all have breathers.

the front diff and transmission are already ran fairly high though, right?

Essentially no, you do not need to relocate the transmission, transfer case or front differential (they are already up pretty high in the firewall). The only reason why you might would be if you installed a snorkel and regularly traverse water over your hood, or else you're hydrolocked anyway so it doesn't matter.
