Default Tj help

I know it's a cherokee forum but I'm sure some of you know more than just xjs. Personally, I drive an xj, but my girlfriend recently adopted her sisters 2001 tj with the in-line 4 motor and manual tranamission. This morning when I was walking her out to her car I noticed a tube coming down from the bottom of her jeep hitting the ground. When I got down on the ground, pollen and all, I got a closer look. It didn't look beat up at all so I don't think it had been dangling around while she was driving much if at all. The tube itself is black rubbery material, kind of like transmission fluid lines, with a white cap on the end. I couldn't see where it was connected to but it was hanging down right beside the oil pan but it looked like it came from somewhere above the transfer case. Anyway, I managed to somewhat secure it laying on the skid plate so it wouldn't dangle on the ground anymore. So, should I be worried about it? Does anybody know what this is? Some kind of vent tube or something? Thank you.

Front axle vent tube. Bring it back up against the firewall and secure it somewhere near the brake master cylinder with a couple of plastic ties.
