do you guys think that extending the rear breather tube to inside the truck would be a good idea like drill a hole in the body and feed the tube up into say the jack area so its out of site? good idea or bad idea?

I just drilled a hole where the gas cap is. Put the line up high so gas wont flow in.
 






I'd route it like he said or to put it just into the fender well somewhere. I would keep it out of the inside because if your getting in deep water/mud, you want your cab sealed off as much as possible.

Up near the rear light or near the fuel filler should be high enough. If you have water higher than that you have bigger things to deal with. Like hydrolocking
 






i would put some silicone and some sort of rubber insert round it. just seemed like something cool when i thought it up
 






I would keep it outside. Gear lube smells funky.
