Of course the stocks don't work, question is can i take a stock set of none vacuum hubs and permanently lock them? My plan is to drive to beach take off vacuum hubs and swap out to locked ones and when done vise versa. 94 Zj custom suspension and other stuff 01 F250 tow hoe 5" exhaust 00'sporty 3" lift 235's Re: locking hubs [Re: minydigger] #978378 12/29/09 08:53 AM Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 2,243 Gold Coast, Queensland, Austra...
