    Nope, no lockers.................................yet! I do eventually plan on putting an Aussie in the rear. The front will wait till I do the SAS and that will get a selectable locker for better street manners.

    No, I just got the fronts. I didn't realize at the time that I still need to get hubs, otherwise....lockers don't lock. So, who makes hubs that will work on the VX. Who's the best/worst, does it matter? And, any idea how hard these are to install? I am in the last stages of getting all my parts together for the lift project, and I will have torn apart most of the suspension/drive system to do the diff drop brackets. I'd like to do it all in one shot.

    You don't need manual hubs for the front locker to "work", but it will make driving on the road much easier to handle.

    OK, so can I just swap out some manual Aisin hubs out of a trooper? and if so, what year range? Are they going to be plug and play for the VX?

    Any 19 spline Isuzu 10 bolt hubs will do.Kasia has Superwinch and even though she blew one on Gold Bar Rim they are just fine.

    You could get Aisin's and search for them everytime you grenade one...or Warn's and pay big money when one goes(or worse cv)or spens $89 on a set of Superwinch and have a couple bucks to buy some spares.

    They make a nice insurance policy that any breakage will not transfer into the expensive stuff.

    Sorry John, for the Vehicross, don't you mean 17 spline and 6 bolt front hubs?

    yup, that's what he meant.... John had a long weekend of work, so you need to excuse this typo, Kenny.

    Btw, awesome work on all fabrication
