GEN 3 - Vacuum pipes was created by alpinejimny13
Hey everyone! I'm planning to remove my gen 3's vacuum operated hubs into manual ones and I found myself stuck on the "blocking the vacuum pipes" step. The guide is quite thorough but I'm requesting here a picture of how exactly you guys did this, every pipe that was blocked and how.
BTW I'm thinking of blocking the pipes up in the engine bay. TYSM in advance!

I left the rubber hose connected down at the hubs and then up in the engine bay behind the battery the lock pipe has a Tee to a pressure switch. As my vacuum still worked I just removed the lock pipe after the Tee and plugged this with a rubber plug.
That way the pressure switch still works and allows the transer box to go in to 4WD (solid green light).
If you vacuum system is completely gone then you can leave it all in place and just join the wires on the pressure switch.
Before I sold my Gen 3 I took the manual hubs off and replaced the complicated Suzuki vacuum pipes with new tubing, putting the Tees up near the battery, then a contineous run down to the hubs. It took 20m of tubing, but saves any joints down below.

Do you perhaps have a picture of it?
