Best Locking Hubs???

[sprdv1]

I have the cepek version. They are the same as warn and mm. They even have the same part number on the bottom of them

Work well for you...?

If you really want solid, drive slugs from something that was running an NP203. But there is no "locking" as they are only "locked". I kept one in my spares. If I ever blew a Mile Marker (never did) I knew I could put that in and it would go.

Got slugs myself, but really need to swap out to a selectable so I can drive it on the street more..

I thought you had RCV axles? I wouldn't sweat it, drive on with slugs. If I didn't already have Yukons on my 73 I would just run slugs and forget it.

That was my point, I can't tell the difference between locked and unlocked on the street with the RCV axles.

No issues with stock Bronco hubs unless you allow the wheel hub to get dented or rusted up. In the early days you didnt break the hub because back then you were running the really big 33 inch tires. What we did do was split the wheel hub lengthwise spreading the splines in the wheel hub. We use to make a reinforcement ring over the outer wheel hub so they may crack but not spread. Last time I saw that was over 35 years ago. Problem was shock load spin a tire and drop on a rock and bang you broke something. But never a stock manual hub. I am sure these days with super huge tires they manage to break stock hubs. Someone needs to make stainless bezels for stock hubs. I could use a couple pairs of those.

rcv slugs all day all night.............

Yes rcv axles and slugs are the strongest set up for the 44 but if you're trying to make it a capable dd you're gonna lose some mileage spinning the front end components on the street. That's where I'm at. Thinking of going rcv but buying new hubs for the street and flanges for off road is adding more $$$ to the cost. That extra $$ is making me want to pull back to molly axles, CMT's and my mile marker ultimates.

Warn was always the popular one as they dominated the market place.
I like factory spicer hubs, or drive flanges.
I have never owned a Yukon hub, but I have had a few mile marker hubs and I did like them.
