4wd conversion question

[btm24]

I have every thing in meaning, t-case, drive shaft, shifter, axle lol, and tranny. So now my last problem is the vacuum part. I think the front Dana 30 is out of an 86 XJ. What do I need to do vacuum wise to get every thing working properly? A diagram would be very helpful. Thank you

Lock the CAD and forget it's there.

X3, or get a front axle from a later model that doesn't have it.

I don't think it's a CAD I just checked here are a few pics

 

 

 

Maybe a mix up in years :dunno:

 

Any other thoughts?

just seal off the vacuum lines with something. i used a heat sealing tube on mine and yes that axle is at least from 92 and up

early-than-92 XJs with the awd t-case came with a non-CAD axle. :thumbsup:

I don't know maybe I'm just being stupid, but how do the hubs engauge? I thought that It would have to have somthing vacume to lock in the hubs :dunno:

 

Am I thinking into this to much? Or am I missing somthing?

 

Thanks

the vaccum just locked the two axle shafts on the pass side together. since you have a single piece shaft on the pass side now you don't need it. the transfer case is what makes it all go round.

The axles are turning all the time nothing to engauge.

Ok I'm sorry I've never had to deal with my own 4wd system and just thought that it would have to have somthing to "lock" in the axles. I found out the 4x4 worked great today when moving her for the first time in a month. I thank y'all for all of your help :D
