Today I extended te breather tube for the rear differential above the passenger side inner fender well liner. It's now sitting almost 45 inches from the ground. Also I drained and filled the rear differential again to ensure I got all the water. Of course the gf texts me saying that the bushings for the Superlift shocks arrived at the house but I'm 30 min away at my brothers.

Superlift shocks are on. Figured it would take like 20 min but had trouble getting the shocks in the lower mounts. Turns out one of my OME shocks was blown so I'm happy to have new shocks on that are the proper length.

What did you use to extend the breather tubes? Also, when doing deep water crossings, is there any other precautions you take for the rest of the drive-train, electronics, etc.? Since I got my snorkel I have been taking the XK in deeper mud holes but I'm wary of how deep is too deep.

I only extended the rear breather as the front breather goes all the way up to the nut that bolts the strut in. All I did was take off the rear breather hose and took it to a local auto parts store and go the same size hose about 3 1/2 feet long. I ran the hose into the passenger side inner fender well above the wheel well liner at the highest point. To do this I had to remove the plastic liner. I used a bracket and two self taping screws to hold it in place at the end of the hose where the breather valve is. Once you put the plastic liner back in it hold the rest of the hose in place. Cost about $6 and now the breather is about 45 inches off the ground. Keep in mind I'm running 4 inch Superlift rear springs and 34 inch tires so the height where it's located will be higher than if you located it in the same spot.
As far as how deep of water you can go in all depends. Again I'm sitting higher than someone with a 2 inch lift and 265's.

Lookin' good, thanks for the how-to on the breather lines, I'll definitely be doin this mod soon. Whats your overall height in the front and rear after the tires and spring change? I have been pondering running this setup in the rear, as I'm already at 38" up front with worn down 265's, making the rear quite un-level.
