Peace of mind is a good thing to have. Might go that route with the solid flanges in the future. For now, I haven't had the misfortune of dealing with people tampering with the hubs.

Will keep that in mind.... and will have to put my manual front hubs in the "Lock" position first...! My slow driving hasn't allowed me to experience having the front end lose grip or get skittish (except in the deep snow) as yet despite having driven in and through deep puddles and flooded roads.

Definitely have manual locking hubs in the front. Fully aware now that the hubs have to be in the "Lock" position for the front wheels to be engaged when in 4H Even though I'm know you can switch on the fly between 2H and 4H (with the hubs locked), I will continue my practice of switching...

I'll give that a try... I was always a bit paranoid about engaging the 4H while rolling slowly.

Thanks, that clears up a lot of my doubts.

btw, Wobbly thanks for your response.

Would like some clarification on this... I have a 1992 LJ70 SWB, 2LT engine, with manual front locking hubs. Been bombing around the countryside and having a great time driving through shallow mud and up steep hills... I haven't had any problems until recently... went up the mountain past the...

Crusher, thanks for the advice. Looking into it... :thumbup:
