If I couldn't get my hands on a set of old Nissan HB hubs (4) I'd like to try those AVM ones from eBay. I'd research a bit more but the brand is well respected and they look beefy. Those Chinese autos didn't work out? Sent from 718 using Tapatalk... |

They worked. But I blew one (same side) on the trail at the summit ma bell run. Plus I'm installing a front locker this week to have it done for Ecxc  . I might get a set of manual incase I blow my last spare at Ecxc and then just change them out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I ran with Warn for a couple of years. They were nothing but trouble for me. I switched to the old Nissan Hardbody hubs, and they were great. However, I hear they are rarer than hens' teeth now. I don't know anything about the other brands. Choice number 1 = Nissan Hardbody hubs. Last choice = Warn k_enn |

When they break does mile marker send you new ones free or do you ship the old ones? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I might try the mike marker or AVM ones to see what happens. But the AVM I can't find good warrantee info on them unless I overlooked it. How is warn when they break? Do they send you new pair of is it a pain in the ass? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The bolts on the WARN hubs tend to egg out the holes in your wheel hub destroying it. So technically they don't "fail", any warranty is therefore moot. I gotta be honest and say that I'd go back to Nissan auto's before I'd put MM or Warn hubs on my eggcrate.... One of the many MM on Justin's X;

Do they send you new pair of is it a pain in the ass? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Warn would not even sell me parts. All I needed was one of the outer caps (they extend beyond the wheel and can be broken by rocks). They told me to go buy a whole new hub, which was only available in pairs. Buy two hubs for a big chunk of change when I only need one inexpensive part? Absolutely horrible on parts. Like Tom said. Warns f-up your wheel hub. I have had the studs they provided break before reaching the specified torque, and had metric grade 5 through metric grade 10 (or 12?) bolts also break. Once, at the beginning of ECXC, I had all of the bolts holding the Warn to the wheel hub break, only finding out when I went to manually lock the Warn before going on the trail that it turned freely. Twice I had to replace the whole wheel hub. k_enn |
