    Question

    About ten miles down the road almost to the house it hits me, my hubs were unlocked!!!

    I don't get it? We don't have manual locking hubs. Please fill me in.
    Peace.

    You can go offroad a thousand ways
    When you ask yourself, and say
    It all comes down to that single rock
    CAN I MAKE IT UP THIS HILL UNLOCKED?

    Is there some advantage to having manual locking hubs? Does it save wear and tear on the front diff if you run with them unlocked or something?

    Tom dietrying, yes have aftermarket aisin hubs

    Ldub, too funny...not bad for on the fly rhyming

    Kpaske, thats exactly what I am trying to find out, will post my fuel reports when I finish them. As for diff wear and tear, probably some, parts are still turning but not under a load.
