Advice needed

I'm currently fitting a 2 inch body lift plus a 2 inch suspension lift. I allowed myself a week for this but its
turning into a winter project. Every bolt rusted and seized thank god for my 9 inch grinder.
Petrol tank removed floor welded, brake pipes and petrol pipes renewed poly bushes etc.etc.etc. the problems
never end.

The advice I need is the vacuum pipes on the front axle are completely rotten, do I replace them or
fit locking hubs? Is the vacuum system reliable?

I've cleaned down all the chassis painted with hammerite waxoyled everything in sight, hoping to get it
all finished before the snow starts here in the North east Scotland.

All advice apprecated

Sounds like you're getting well stuck in mate

Go for manual locking hubs, the vacuum system is far from reliable. I think most of us who use 4wd regularly have upgraded to manual hubs.

Good luck with the rest of your project

IMHO it is a no brainer.

If you're not doing a lot of road work bin all the vac pipes and manually lock the auto hubs, I did mine about a year ago though I'm only doing about 1000 miles a year.

Thanks for your comments guys.

I'll be ordering some hubs

Don't forget the spacers as most need them
