Hi All,
I am an absolute newbie and have today bought my first SJ.
I have bought a 1989 SJ 413 with manual hubs, are these better than automatic hubs or vice versa? As i was contemplating swapping them if it is beneficial.

Re: Manual Hubs Vs Automatic
It doesnt really make much difference, Its all down to personal choice, all though I have heard you can't tow an sj with automatic wheel hubs, (but to be honest don't really understand why) I have manual locking hubs and they seem to be most common and cheapest, they also are pretty easy to strip down and clean, I certainly wouldn't want to change to auto locking hubs as mine do the job just fine!

Manual every time. the auto ones are known for playing up.

Re: Manual Hubs Vs Automatic
Auto is an unecesarry thing that could go wrong. I can turn my manual ones by hand, so why bother with auto?
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

You can also get fixed hubs... just to add something else.
I dont think i have ever unlockd my front hubs, only to make sure they are no seized on!
Suppose that they are useful if you brake something on the front drive train.
