If I remember , they are not that good or reliable . Better off with a set of manual locking ones .

hubs

Hi,
Yes,
Leave the auto-hubs alone they have been known to be unreliable when the going gets tough. Toyota used to fit them to 1st. gens. but stopped cos` they were $$$$! Locking out of 4x4 when reversing and stuff like that. The way to go is manual free-wheeling hubs by Aisan, Warn or AVM in that order.

Cheers,
Chris
