Tell me, did you respond to his post ?


Yes.

Didn't it make you feel hopeful that you could get something free....


No - I have 1 perfectly good set of OE auto hubs, a set nearly new Superwinch hubs that I bought new (including a new trail spare that I bought) and a second set of used Superwinch hubs that I bought from a junkyard. So, I really don't need any more hubs and don't care if they're new or not..... there's a limit to how much a fellow needs.

...... & that they REALLY valued your opinion?


It's not that the man wanted MY opinion - only that he wanted one. It doesn't take so much effort to change hubs, so if someone wants to build a product to improve the performance of the vehicle and I can see the product is useful, I don't mind lending a hand. I would also test-fit them and return them if that's what he asked.

As for the profit-motive...... why else would someone own a business?
