    I have the locking front hubs that are not Warn. They have 2 levers that look like they make it work but I don't know how and don't know what they are called to do a search
    Does anyone know where I can get some imformation?

    One tip I have to add is that it is much easier to lock those hubs before shifting into 4wd. A lot of the time when I tried to lock them while in 4wd the levers wouldn't turn.

    They are as strong a locking hub as you can find, keep them.

    Gotta disagree a little here. I've seen two sets fail when the hub cap blew out around the cams. You also have to be careful not to lean on the cam levers too hard, as they will bend and not fold back in without bending them straight. I ran a set on an old Nissan Patrol for many years and found them much more difficult to engage/disengage than compairable Warn units, especialy when running a LS. While they will probably give many more years of reliable service, I prefer later model spring loaded Warn's for ease of use.
