Getting the Wheeling Fever

Hi all
An ebay search yielded Sporty manual hubs manufactured by TLN. These are cheaper than the WARN items.
Has anyone got any knowledge/experience with these hubs or this brand?
Cheers
Dave

Body Damage is Cool

Well, I haven't heard of them and at the price they are probably from China.
One big difference is 1 year warranty against Warn's Lifetime warranty. The price is very appealing and if I only took my Sportage out on the highway, and I had vacuum hubs, then I would probably give them a try.
I've seen AVN's talked about being as good or better than Warn on non-US sites. They are made in China so maybe the quality is ok.
Maybe I'll try out a set to see what they're about.
