    It’s a cheap and easy mod to do. I definitely would.

    Not sure if “needed” but would be good to keep water out of the diff. I did mine and I’m barely close to water. It’s a quick, cheap and easy mod to do and help protect the diff; so do it IMO.

    I figure they put the front diff breather up in the engine bay the rear should at least be the same. Do it! There’s a good write up around here somewhere. most people put it up behind the tail light on the driver side.

    Wise choice! I bought the ARB too. There is a much cheaper way to fab your own if you are DIYer and I would have but was posted after I bought my ARB. :cool: All is good though!
