If you have the fork style disco to engage 4wd get rod of it and convert to a standard axle. I believe it's Warren that makes this conversion kit. After this to won't have to worry about the vac lines

cut the tubes get vacuum line that fit tight over the tube and make loner use zip ties to anchor were necessary allow extra for suspension travel if the disco is working correctly keep it less wear and tear on front axle gears and better gas mileage

Thanks for the help, it's nice to have an answer that doesn't come from a "smart-@ss" pc gaming nerd.

extend!
what do you do if your garden hose can not reach your garden... get a longer one or extend it by hooking 2 hoses together...
what do you do if you power cord can not reach your air compressor? get an extension cord... or install a longer cord on the air compressor...
I asked my wife the next one and she can not do anything more than change oil, check tires and check other fluids...
what do you do if your car, truck or van has a vacuum hose will not reach a device that needs to be hooked up to vacuum???
you know what she said... "Are you kidding.... get a longer hose...!"
the point is you could have searched...
and you you ask a bone head question you are bound to get a bone head answer...
we have all made the the mistake of making a tread before searching... myself included

You could get rid of the vacuum stuff and install a cable conversion. Another option would be to lock the shift fork into place so that the front axle is always locked (like the later Cherokees).
