[rangerguy1996]

I dint see anything comparing hubs on here. Just waned to know what everyone's runing and what everyone has broken. I was running warn premiums until I grenaded one now i have supper winch and love um.

I love my warns but sounds like you havnt had too much luck with yours

Warn 'Jeep' hubs pt number 37780. Toughest hub out there period.

Superwinch/mile marker are junk.

im also runing a dana44 i thought the full turn would work better but they are a pain in the ass to engage and disengage. i havent tested the supperwinch one that much but alot easyer to use

i ran milemarkers for 3 years before i broke the first one, if its just a daily driver and you only use 4wd for highway use in the snow and mild off highway use with stock tires they should hold up good enough. i broke one of mine while backing into a parking spot that had snow shoved into it with a blade. i thought id just back the truck on into the pile, put it in 4L and started backing up, as the rear started pushing snow the back tires were on snow and not gripping much of anything. the front wheels were on clean, dry pavement and doing all the work. i broke the drivers side internal lock ring in 3 places. at least it was a hub and not a stub shaft, u-joint or the spiders in the differential. a hub is the easiest and quickest "fuse" to replace. not the cheapest, but since i had to get a new set of hubs, ive now got a spare. and the knowledge to not use the back of my truck like a bulldozer when only the front tires have good traction.

I have milemarkers on right now and when i used 4wd a week ago they started grinding. I only put them on a month ago and this is just a driver. I had swaped from automatics. Already looking for new warn ones. Do not buy milemarkers- simple terms "waste of your money. Spend the extra 50 and buy quality brands.

I had superwinch on my 35 and loved them

I like the superwinch premiums. you get warn premium quality for the standard warn price. I ran a set last year in my 44 with 5.13's turning 38x15-15 boggers and didn't have any issues. It was used for mud, sand, and hills and was powered by a 5.0 ho. Biggest thing you have to watch out for is getting a tire under an obstacle and "trapping" it.

Now that i have upgraded to a 60 frt I was forced to try milemarker stainless hubs. The truck is still in the build phase so i have no idea how they'll work. I do know the standard MM's for the 44 are the cheapest junk out there.


Ever thought about going to a u-pull junk yard and grabbing a set of factory hubs??

 

[rangerguy1996]

i thought about it. just grab a bunch of them ant throw a new one in when u brake one wont have to wory about braking a axle haha

that in no way helps milemarker unless it was sold as a hub fuse.

good luck finding hubs at a junkyard, seems like thats the first thing robbed. then tailights, i looked at 6 different trucks before finding one that had a set of tailight lens i could grab, only needed the one side but since mine is a '93 and what i found was a 2000, i had to get both sides. i still say for daily driver usage and with stock tires milemarkers will do the job, run anything hard enough and it will break. im sure you could break the warn "jeep" hubs if you run a overly huge tire and have it in the right situation. but with beffier hubs you only increase the chance that something else could break, maybe a stub shaft or a u-joint. at least if you break a hub you can be back running again as quickly as you can change a tire

sheeeitt....if it were only that simple.


i was busting.....i have busted more spiders then lockouts on a d35.


but more axles then anything.

 

[rangerguy1996]

I always see stock hubs in our junk yard atlest for 44s but not a lot for 28 or 35s
