Default Where do the vent hoses to from Tcase and F. Axle?

Trying to figure out where the vent hoses attach for the Tcase and front axle.

I know where the hose goes on the Tcase and Axle but where does that hose run to and attach too?

Thanks for any input!

the hoses are ending just over the wheels, hidden in the fender. This is for the evacuation of the air. There is a small plastic valve at the end of the hose, therefore dirt and water can't come in

Oh, so the hose does not run to any unit then... it is just a drain hose then with a one way then....

So I could just run a hose into the fender and point it down then?

I thought mabye it connect to something of importance

Thanks

Exactly, if you go into deep water, the hoses must be higher than the water

If you put a 3" lift, you have to extend the hoses

as mentioned, the rear axle breather tube goes up near the passenger side fender well. the front axle one goes up by the driverside shock tower. both the t-case and transmission breathers go up the firewall. all of them are just designed to help air and gas buildup to be released.
