1997 Manual Hubs
I'd like to see if anyone out there that has done the manual hub conversion on a '97? I called Warn & they flat deny having an application to fit. Now discussing this with a friend he called around the Mount Vernon / Burlington area until he found a guy that had done several. As the mechanic put it " common back in the day ". I called him & he gave me the P/N's for the spindle nuts & hubs (which were warn hubs). By his explanation he said that the spindle nuts were produced by a 3rd party that warn wouldn't endorse. So with no "official" spindle nuts, no hubs would fit. Like to hear from you all.

Manual hubs
That thingy called a front differential cable lock kit? that'll be good for my '97?
Says it'll give 2 wheel low range. Is that true?

Wish they had manual hubs
Be worth at least a MPG or 2 versus having the damn differential and CVs turning all the time.
I never found that locking manual hubs on my old Jeep was a problem, unless I stupidly waited too late and was ankle deep in mud... Or water.

OK. I just pick up a differential cable lock kit. Could I in essence just disconnect the power to the 2 solenoids without pulling the vacuum lines?
Or would it be best to do both?
