You have an a4dl by chance??
edit - nevermind, see your sig. now.

Where do your tubes terminate now?

front axle and transfer case are up on the firewall by the driver side hood hinge and the rear just goes to the frame and makes a few loops around

A few loops to create a series of low points and high points to inhibit water flowing in?

Have you done anything about waterproofing your electrical?
What about exhaust or air intake?

Thanks.

yes sir a few loops should keep it fine, my exhaust exits above the frame on the passenger side and my intake i made up just an open cone filter in just about the stock position

Anyone have recommendations on what sort of hosing to use, or the sort of connectors you used to connect new hosing to the old breather tubes??

Thanks.

Just use any old fuel line and brass barbed fitting you can get at any parts store, home depot ect.

I used 5/16 fuel hose IIRC.

ya don't skimp on the breathers! i ruined my t case cuz i didn't extend it, stupid, but i just plain didn't think about it!

tcase's are easy and fairly cheap to replace, however not something i feel like doing everytime i splash through a puddle.
