Hey peoples.

There's a set of unused lines/pipes on the front axle of this Jimny my friend Scottie has been looking over for a friend, and he's asked me if I know what they're for.

I don't have a clue - anyone here know?

Vacuum for auto free wheel hubs?

Poss swapped to manual hubs by someone in the past?

Just guessing though.

Gotta get one right eventually Darrell, law of averages eventually works in our favour.

I take it that there are Manual Hubs fitted?

I haven't seen the vehicle personally, but Scottie told me this morning that there are no freewheeling hubs fitted, but 4x4 still works - so I assume it's got flanges.

Yup. That there, I believe, is a hub flange.
