When doing my rear brakes, I noticed this disconnected hose, but it also doesn't seem to go anywhere. Anyone have any ideas?

Like 2008 said, it's the vent hose. They put the hose on the vent so water doesn't get in the housing during deep water crossings. Very common mod among off roaders.

Is there some sort of clip up there that holds it?
