bowmans86mj Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 i just locked out my front axle for the 4x4 cause i was having vacuum problems so now it is working. BUT i was wondering if i am supposed to block off the vacuum hoses now that i don't need them or is it ok to just leave them?? thank you :dunno:
Lenard Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 i went and put little caps on mine, it would be like having a vac line with a hole in it, it screws everything else up
Geonovast Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 It wouldn't directly affect anything, as those vac lines are separate from the rest of the vacuum system. You do want to pull the lines off and cap the ports on the T-case, so nothing works its way in.
bowmans86mj Posted August 16, 2009 Author Posted August 16, 2009 ok thank you. also where would be a good place to get some wheel spacers?? and aprox price
navigator Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 i remember pricing spacers for my 06 Trailblazer and they were about $400 a set. i think for a jeep you can find a wheel with the backspacing you want for less than that and remove a possible point of failure.
bowmans86mj Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 new ?. what would be the best and easiest way to plug the vacuum lines and inlit's for the front axle?? I'm not sure how to do it and ensure no water gets into the axle?? thank you
Geonovast Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Just go take a section of the hose into a local hardware or parts store, and buy some vacuum caps of that size. You don't have to plug the ports on the axle, water won't work its way into the axle through the actuator, but make sure you do it on the T-case.
bowmans86mj Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 thank you i really appreciate it.. also have you ever been to haspin acres in indiana??
bowmans86mj Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 ok. well its a place in laurel indiana and i have been there many times with my wheeler. 2005 kodiak 400 4x4. and it is amazind down there. my friend has a cheroke and my other has a wrangler so i switched it up and got the comanche and i was just wondering if u thought i would be ok down there. same motor as the wrangler and he does good. i dodnt know if length wise i would get cought up or not or any suggestions :???:
Geonovast Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 If it's a quad park I wouldn't take your MJ in, especially being a longbed.
bowmans86mj Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 well its just like bad lands... check it out on youtube. i was thinking about shortening it up a bit by taking off the back bumper and frame up to the the cross member behind the shackles
Pete M Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I've not been there personally, but I've seen pictures of haspin and know that some members here have been there and loved it. :thumbsup: Also, if you start a new thread about it in the Pub, I'm sure you'll get more opinions. :D
