Hi guys! I just need your help. I just saw this rubber hose dangling and I have no idea where is it connected into but the other end is connected to the rear axle. Thanks!

I agree with capercanadian, you can see on the pic that its running into your rear axle so it is just a vent line, just zip tie it to something or just let it hang, its function is just to allow your rear axle fluid to expand and retract without blowing out a wheel seal. just make sure if you zip tie it that you don't kink it or put it in a place where it could get clogged.

If you do any off roading, run that hose up and then zip tie it so that the top of the tube faces down. This will create an air trap that will help keep water from getting in the axle tube.

From the pics both upside down and inverted it is the rear axel housing vent tube, it's normally tucked up inside the frame. As suggested put it back up (or down depending on your perspective) and zip tie it into place.
