ORA are not worth the hassle. Stay away from them unless you plan on carrying a few spare sets...

it might be me but IMO most people seem to complain about 4wd systems alot. are they selling crap?

are they crap?
erm, yep.
i bought a long range tank, not very well designed as far as being able to get at the fuel hoses, breather leaks fuel into cabin, hoses don't fit spigots (too tight to fit and won't compress with circlips after you flog out the inside a bit so it leaks like a bastard)
you will end up paying 2/3 price for the kit from them, then another 2/3 price fixing all the bits that aren't right or getting alterations done.
the snorkel went in ok though and is an ok fit.

Does anyone make any desent hubs these days? I've now gone through 3 pairs of AVM hubs and just bought a pair of ORA ones from opposite lock that where $260 a pair. 
If I new they where that bad I would have just kept buying AVMs atleast I can get them for $120 a pair. 
Cheers Mick.

What's so bad about aisin hubs?
IMHO nearly all the "aftermaket" hub manufacturers (AVM etc) existed to cater for the almost non existant market thesedays to fit hubs to cars that came without them.
I can't really think of an australian example of a car that comes with auto hubs or similar that you can't retrofit an aisin hub from a similar model to. i.e hilux, vitara etc.
I wouldn't go to an aftermarket hub unless it was an application that I couldn't get an OEM Aisin hub for - 35 spline or something.
