I finally decided to put on some manual hubs. I blew out a wheel bearing one day and melted everything for the auto hub together. I ordered the manual hubs and the conversion kit off of 4wheelparts.com (or something like that). Was very surprised on how easy it was to do the work myself. Only paid $200 for all the parts and installed myself. Very easy work.
 












thats good to hear because after i get home from class tonight (8:30pm) Im going to swap my autos to manual hubs before the snow hits tomorrow. I fixed my t-case motor last night and now the hubs.... hopefully ill have 4x4 working again.... and I will need it!!!
 






I couldn't believe how easy it was. Even with the motor on the tcase working, I wouldn't have been able to go in 4x4. When I blew out the wheel bearing on the driver side, it melted the plastic stuff together for the auto hub. When I took the other side off, the piece for the auto hub crumbled in my hand.
