Found it, thanks. I can now see why there are charging $59 for the kit. thought it was outrageos when i extended them all for under $15 but they didnt get tapped into the airbox

JK Jedis have eyes on their fingertips I guess

I could only feel for the t-case and tranny breathers. Not being able to see and the hoses being so freaking deep behind the block was no fun at all.

so what exactly did you do for the tcase? thats the one breather I'm still not sure on, did you just snip it and splice in a new line without fishing around for it or what?

Agreed. That's a LOT of line to boil your fluid enough to rise up and choke your airbox up with. Almost impossible.

For the tcase.. after half an hour i ended up just getting really frustraded and pulled as hard as i could on it and the entire hose came out (off tcase and off mounting clip)
so i just added the extra hose and then put it back onto the tcase and ran it up to the engine bay

I was looking at the the breather kit and a write up that someone did. How complicated would it be for a jeep newbie? I'm no mechanic but this site has taught me alot!
