Best Locking Hubs for '71 Series IIA

[crankin]

Since the M11 are not made anymore...does warn have another hub that would work? For example the Warn 6094 or 29062?

Goodness me...Focus. Focus...

Nice thing about FWH is if you have a failure in the front axle (diff or axle breakage) you can disconnect the wheel from the axle and keep driving . . .

Absolutely! First hand experience with this. Front diff. grenaded, locked the front end solid. Unlocked the hubs and drove out. Fixed at my convenience and didn't have to leave a mess in the middle of the woods.

I don't think it's a big deal either way, I prefer them. If your reason for not having them is because they don't get locked enough or it's too much of a chore to turn two little dials.....you probably don't need a rover anyway!

Another +1 for FWHs.

When I go wheeling, it usually involves 2~3 hours of highway driving. I can EASY TELL when my front axle is engaged. I guess if you just BS around town all day at sub 45mph speeds then you won't notice but go cruise at 60 mph for a couple hours and you'll notice a difference.

MPG, no clue. Then again my rover is in the "toy" category so I don't care about MPG.

Had Faireys, now have Superwinches. The Faireys were smoother to engage but I broke them. Superwinches aren't as refined but they do a good job, seem to be more durable.

i can't tell any difference

I can tell no difference at all in mpg or in driving when they are locked or unlocked. this is a 109 diesel 3 door. I have been leaving them in unless i am going on a long highway trip. I drive mine a lot of miles for a rover.
