Pop off the top of the vent and run a piece of hose up the firewall and the nuse one of the small air filters that the honda guys use . The area left to put the hose on the differential is small and you will have to use a hose clamp . On the rear I ran my breather hose up into the area that is covered by the fuel line shield on the passenger side . I have seen a few people use the plastic fuel filters also instead of the small air filters .

But air filters hold water... maybe I should add those hoses with T pieces to air filter and then to hose which is going to snorkel ?

If you mean intake snorkel are you sure you wanna do that? You'd create a vacuum in the diff and possibly/probably suck water past the seals?? Some guys talked about a little air pump to put some positive pressure in the diffs...

You have right. It must be only one way flow- to differential, not from. Air cant shrink from water...
How to prevent ?

hose is easiest way but I think it is too big and looks like poo. I always tap it and use a barb fitting and clear 1/4" tubing, that way I can see whats in the line. At the other end you can put a restrictor with a tiny hole in it. That will prevent water from entering. There is not alot of air going in/out of the diff when it vents so dont worry about plugging it.

I use 5/8" clear tubing and I put a crank case air filter on the other end so dirt and mud doesn't get down in the line. Seems to work pretty good.
