    Yup Flanges!''

    They keep the front axles engaged full time.

    You can replace them with hubs if you like.

    Oh, and, or but, If you use the Jeep on the street much, I'd put lockouts on it, just to keep from turning the front axles/ gears all the time....

    Oh yeah, don't throw away the flanges when you get your hubs.

    I have Warn premiums on the Jeepster and Superwinch on the 3B. The Warn hubs are definitely better quality. That being said, I haven't had any trouble with the Superwinch hubs.

    I've used the Mile Marker and Warn both have worked well for me without problems.
