Manual front locking hub conversion?

Does anyone make a conversion to take an '04 with electronic shift 4wd to manual, or even just converting the auto hubs to manual locking hubs?

You can still SOTF with manual hubs. You just have to lock them in first. Then SOTF whenever you want.

There’s no manual hub comversion for our trucks. It’s not possible to do with how the system is designed.

What’s the reason for wanting to do this?

I hear many people say that have had problems with their auto hubs. I just like the idea of manual hubs. Easy to fix when something goes wrong .

That, and I'm an old fart who likes the old ways ;-)

I’m old too... don’t like getting out of the truck in the mud and rain to lock my hubs when I can sit in a nice warm, dry cab and flip a switch...
