So I bought the highlifter diver down snorkel kit and I figured since highlifter is a reputable brand, they would know everything that needs to be vented.....airbox, radiator,front dif,rear dif, sub trans, and fuel tank, nothing was mentioned about the brake adjuster box, so my question is does it really need to be vented or is everyone doing it for safety sake? Just wondering if it's necessary, has anyone had 1 apart to see what's there? Thank you to all that replies

That last link posted should do it. Just some info...

It's not the brake adjustment box. It's the drive mode adjustment box. It is vented, but low. It's best to vent it up to keep water out. One guy got water in it and the cables froze, causing him a lot of headache until he could thaw it.

One more thing. Don't do the belows. People have blown out their diff seals with them. Vent everything as high as you can. My suggestion is to vent the sub trans and fuel tank separately. Everything else can be teed to eliminate redundancy. Run them as high as you can, no matter how deep you think you might go. I ran all mine to the roof.

Yeah the kit came with hoses to vent and no bellows, I was glad to see that because I wasn't comfortable about using bellows, I also vented the fuel tank separately just because of fumes, I appreciate the info AKRIDER thanks
