Extend the axle breathers to the air box, probably the gearbox and transfer box too.
^^^ This. An excellent write-up:
Although this is for the KK, the KJ would be nearly identical with respect to breathers.

Just hangin' out.
First up:
A snorkel alone does absolutely nothing to increase fording depth. Anyone that tells you otherwise is trying to sell you a snorkel. I speak from experience. Even with proper suspension lift a Liberty fording depth is +/- roughly 24" @10mph in standing water. With a snorkel, waterproofing on all electrical systems, entire intake system, and rear quarter panel hidden vent delete and repositioning, max depth is 30" @ 10mph in standing water and you still gonna lose traction and drift due to boyancy. Less if you run bigger than stock tires. Real application for a Liberty snorkel is to move the stupidly small and poorly positioned pack-of-smokes intake up where it gets cleaner, cooler air...and even then you need still need a proper prefilter like a Donaldson.
I also assure you any claims of horsepower increase, throttle response, and fuel economy using a snorkel is snake oil.
Breather extension and AC drain cut off valve is mandatory as others have stated.
I have numerous highly detailed posts about the subject in my KJ build thread.
