2 questions:

[Jeffro]

Question #1) Any one try a minispool on the rear axle on their 4wd truck? pros /cons of running one? I know it's harder to turn with one but I figure it can't be too bad on the trail & the price seems right for a cheap locked rear.

Question #2) the truck has a set of old warn locking hubs. They sling grease all over my rims. I've never taken apart any lockouts before. Do they make a gasket set for the warn hubs? Or is there a way to re seal?

thanks Jeff

Q 2 yes there is an o-ring that seal the hub. however if your grease is liquid enough to come out of your hub, then the grease is shot. you better repack those wheel bearings, it is way past overdue. highdesertranger

Ok, thanks for the imput highdesertranger, I'll look into regreasing those front hubs. don't know if I want to spend the $$$ for a detriot locker for that 10 bolt. I just want a cheap make due till I can upgrade to a 3/4 ton 8 lug corporate. I think I'll just wait @ this time...

be sure you are using the correct grease in your bearings. If it is not rated for the heat build up of disk brake front wheel bearings it will turn to liquid, break down and sling out of the hubs.
