[I[/I]I agree with Ya', Warn hubs were never made to keep up with the torque delivered by both the HP & Huge tires (Spelled “traction”) of today’s rigs. Warn has missed the mark

They were great in their day: Warn hubs were made for the surplus WWII jeeps (that you could pick up for $35.00….. Not) I owned a 1952 M-151 top speed with hubs turned in was 35MPH and a hell of a lot mechanical hardware spinning. Warn was also known for their 2 speed overdrives, which allowed this same jeep to top out 50MPH freeway speed.

Just curious if these same parts are outsourced (mfg. over sea’s) ?
