I got to the trail Wednesday and noticed the manual hub didn't seem to click when I turned it to 4WD. On the trail I noticed it wasn't in 4WD, but with the lockers I was able to complete the trail anyway (3WD in tough spots). I took it apart today and the gear (outer part of hub) was shattered. Fortunately I had a hub from the set I bought after the last failure (plastic retainer and spring inside hub broke). If I have another failure, I'm switching to rebuilt Aisin hubs.

Despite the breakage, I had a great time teaching my daughter how to drive off-road and the fall colors were great in the Virginia mountains.
