so all of you are only raising the diff breathers and not the gearbox and transfer one. right?

I can confirm I have spare diff connectors allowing you to fit diff breathers. @AnD3rew confirms they fit the INEOS. I have spares that can be bought at near cost plus packing and posting. If you are interested let me know and I will work out the cost. It can be arranged early next year - to avoid the Christmas/New Year madness.

Likely cost around AUD12 for two fittings posted within Australia. It maybe lower after I do some maths and checks, but not higher. Roughly 10 or 12 available.

Have you a picture of the Gearbox and Trasnfer-box breathers ?
Have you seen them or are you assuming that they have them ... if they do, it would be highly unusual (IMO).

I can't see anything from underneath, but they certainly must be there.

I would like to understand if it is difficult to raise them or not.

Apparantly the Grenadier does not have them, or no one has found them. People have looked.

I just priced another order (20), but the postage to Australia was 40 pounds. Pretty sure that is not the real cost, I suspect the website just adds postage for each item. Items about 1/3 of total cost, postage the other 2/3s. Total cost almost 50% more than the order (20) a few months ago, mostly postage

Thanks here is the link. The link can be found in that icon next to the printer icon on the top right of each post (three circles joined by two lines). Easier to copy the link than give a number.

I may move that tube into the diff breather setup.

I was correcting your statement: "Apparantly the Grenadier does not have them, or no one has found them. People have looked."
A search on 'transfer case breather' will find my post.
I'm not that interested in the topic but as a service to others I quickly retrieved the post # from the list of messages in my profile.

Do you have a post/thread of your breather kit install?

I know that, I was just providing the link to Post 133, making it easier to click onto than searching for 133.

I used the diff ports with thanks from @TheDocAUS but I bought a cheap hose and 2 breather kit from Air on Board. I didn’t install myself and so the photos aren’t great, they followed the wiring for the diff locks to ensure there was the appropriate flex to account for axle movement and used existing screws to mount the top end bracket under the bonnet.

The reason it is short is that there isn’t space for a longer one. Get a winch extension rope and an X-Lock for shortening it.
Ohh this is clever. Looks very useful, though im not sure how i feel about the 'manual belay' application in their guide. has anyone used it like this?

I haven't used the X-Lock specifically, but a similar device, the Recovery 8, for line shortening, using winch line off of a dead winch as static rope (without relying on the drum lock to hold weight), etc.

Works beautifully

Yeah, I hope never to be in a situation where I might need to do that.
