Here is how i ran my crank case vent and gas vent up to the pod. Both were super easy to do. I took a few pics.
Here you can see the crank case vent. I just spiced the new hose to the old hose with a plastic connector and ran it along the frame rail with zip ties to keep it of the exhaust.Then up to the pod. I plugged the hole in the air box with silicone.

In this pic you can see were i removed the check valve from the frame. There is a hole were it was in the frame which i did fill with silicone after i took the pic.The check valve is made of plastic and is a two piece unit so i siliconed around were it joins together just in case it ever decided to leak. I started to totally remove the check valve but decided against it. The valve will not let gas fumes to escape the take unless enough pressure builds up. I figured this is a good thing so I left it in line.The bad thing about the check valve is that it only works one way. This means it keeps gas fumes in but will easy let water in if it gets in the frame so it's a good idea to run this up if you have not already done it.

Here you can see both vent lines at the pod. I was not comfortable with leaving the crank case line open at the end. I figured this was a good way for dust to get in the oil so i picked up a filter at the parts house.This way it still breaths fine but is filtered. This whole little project cost lest the $10 to do.I got every thing except the the crank case vent filter at Lowe's.Both runs of hose were 6 foot long. I trimmed them to fit.Both ended up less then 6 foot but i did not measure the final size. As long as you get 6 foot to start with you will be fine. The size of the crank case hose is 1/2 ID. For the gas tank vent line i used 5/16 but 1/4 will work as well.
