If any one might know what these are that would be helpful.




Im assuming this hose is for the 4x4 lockouts but I thought I would ask.

And this I have know idea. There's only the one on the drivers side and its obviously broken.

First pic, do your brakes work on that side? [not familiar with that new of year] or as you guessed could be vacuum for lockouts too.
Second pic is an engine stabilizer [unsure of proper name]. It is a shock absorber that helps nullify engine rocking. Personally I don't see a need but there must be some reason for it.
 
Cool thanks for the info. I did find out from my buddy that the hose is for the hubs but i was informed that the previous owner had switched them too manual hubs so it was a moot point/ question. :) I never knew there was such a thing for an engine. Kinda seems like a good idea but at the same time like you said also doesnt seem necessary. But cool to know.

Not only unnecessary, but nearly impossible to find. Deleted ours after we could not find another. The only negative was the left side header/y-pipe would come lose from the additional lift from engine torque. Picked up some Stage8 locking bolts and solved the problem.
