From what I've read auto hubs don't work well with welded or locked gears. From my asumption (which is probly wrong) wouldn't the auto hubs let the front wheels free spin when turning. Thanks for your help <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

Negative. Once they lock, they're locked until you roll backwards ~5m. EDIT: Get some manual locking ones (ie Superwinchs or Aisins) and lock the passy one on the trail. Leave the drivers unlocked till you need it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

The auto hubs work fine for some folks. I've shipped many free pair around different places. I've replaced mine with Aisins and my wife's with Superwinch. I have two more sets of auto FREE hubs, just pay shipping. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

On the Gen II's I saw today, the drive flanges on the front looked pretty beefy. I figure that the drive flanges and an ARB would be great for a dedicated trail rig. I like my manula hubs for the street, though. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
