when did the gq start? Those look different, like mq hubs?

Also- hate to say it- but dont buy hubs from 4wd bits. You can get those for nearly 100$ cheaper elsewhere.

I bought a pair from 4wd bits

a month later someone here from ORE bought a pair identical for 90$ cheaper from traxion.

If you can find some auto ones I hear they are stronger, and manualy lock them. Cheaper than cromoly casings. Buy some for spares too you will brake a few. You bought that exo, petrol, ute chop off trade me recently aye?

yeah i pretty much just need another one of them things you see there but rather just buy brand new now and use old ones for spares, yeah man 35's etc looking at chuckin lsd in the front

Nice that sounds like the idea. Will give you a pm next time we go up worsley or somewhere if your keen. Would like to see your truck, me and a mate were so close to buying it as a project. I have put an lsd in the front (GQ) only did it because it was a cheap option.

Cheers Simon

Very easy just swap clutch packs. Yes the rear lsd from a D21 fits. Cool will pm ya next time. I am having hub issues at the moment too hav'nt had time to pull them off.

Thanks for the heads up. We've obviously been paying to much for the hubs. After a bit of googling, haggling and negotiating we've got the hubs at a much better price. These are the same hubs as before, but not sold under the 'Force' brand. The outer casing (which is the bit that always breaks) is the same machined cast alloy making these stronger than the old Superwinch hubs, but not as strong as the factory hubs. We're working on stronger outer casings for these hubs (not chromoly) to make them comparable or stronger than factory hubs.

End result is they really are about $100 cheaper.

I read your post and thought you were being sarcastic or something- until i checked your website.

Thats a bloody good price!

Machine down the OD till you near touch the bolt holes then shrink on a steel sleeve?

[Swamped]

I think the locating dowels may get in the way of that. They are pretty strong as is.

[monstr]

Theres some auto/manual hubs on T/me at the moment sitting around the $100 mark ,if your after them be carefull as the photos posted show the drive flange for each hub is missing

[chopdpatrol]

yeah i think im going to have to try the 4wdbits pair, as cant find anyone on tm, so hopefully they will fit
