i have the opportunity to swap my auto hubs (which I prefer) for standard locking hubs.
Do the auto hubs give much trouble? I usually lock them manually if doing a lot of 4x4ing, I only use them as auto's occasionally. what are others experiences with them?

auto hubs - absolutely nothing wrong with them offroad as long as you manually LOCK them.
reason why?
auto hubs - goin up a steep hill and then select reverse to go back can apparently 'disengage' which makes it very dangerous.
But puttin them on lock - they stay locked as in a normal manual freewheelin hub.
I changed mine to nissan manual lockin hubs so i could use the low range 2wd if i have to for reversing heavy trailers up driveways etc whereas a auto hub would lock in and then cause transmission windup.
id try to stay with geniune nissan lockin hubs over aftermarket..as ive exploded an aftermarket one once...
Really it comes down to whether you would like 2wd low range..

nice work Tom, did a good job of it 
I prefer locking hubs, just like i prefer manuels for offroad work.
I like the control factor.
also as tom mentioned, i like being able to have Low 2 if i need it for trailers and things like that on the road
screwy
