locking hubs ?

[Rox Crusher]

Howdy guys,

I currently have mile marker hubs and the cover / end caps won't stay tight so I plan to replace them.

Any recommendations for what locking hubs are the most rugged / reliable ?

Not cheap but worth it in my opinion. I can't speak to the dana 44 locks but they're the same design as my dana 60 locks. I'm highly impressed with mine.

I've always been partial to the Warn Premium hubs. I would probably buy some of those Yukons if my pocket book were a little fatter!

Warn is the affordable and well known upgrade, but Yukon is BA.

If you can find a set of factory, rumors are that they're the strongest of the non-Yukon options.

I've been running Warn Premiums for several years and they have been solid. But I too wouldn't hesitate to go with Yukons if you can justify it ($335). My warns have taken some hits on the outside and the Yukon's don't stick out as far. Looks like Warns are $237. <--- not correct price...see below.

Looks like Warns are $237.

I've never seen them for that much...usually around $100. For Dana 60 they get that expensive.

I just searched online and clicked on the first Amazon link. I didn't get too specific other than they looked like mine. I do recall not spending that much on mine either, but I also bought them from an individual.

But to be accurate the part number appears to be PN 20990 and those are $110. I'll edit my original post.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to flame you or call you out...I was just making sure nobody paid $237 for Warn Hubs. Just looking out for my brethren!

Wholly mackerel those Yukon’s are expensive

Not just a rumor.
The Warn hubs are considered an upgrade because they are easier to turn, and people were willing to give up strength for convenience (or didn't know that they were).

If I could get axle shaft sleeves in 30 spline I would use the Spicer hubs with RCV shafts and not buy Yukon Hardcores.
(Hmmm, now that 3D printers can handle metals like Inconel, maybe it is possible to get some made...)

Well I bit the bullet and got some Yukon’s ordered up.

I was able to buy them on amazon using some of my Amex rewards points so no actual cash had to be deployed from my wallet.

Thanks for the great recommendations fellas !

Good choice. Pay attention to the assembly of them. The first time is kind of a pita. Also don't crank down the cap screws too much. It made mine practically impossible to turn. A little cinch is all they need.

We got one side done easily enough.

The other, not so much. Having trouble with the outer splines being too tight.

If I have learned anything from hanging around you guys it is

1) body lifts are mandatory
2) hardtops are for little boys
3) and now, bikini tops are bare minimum solution to all problems

For the record.... I disagree with #1.

My replacement for #1 is 40" tires on 4.5" of suspension only lift!
