Free wheeling hubs vs ADD
Posted: Fri Dec 22, 2006 8:20 am
I'm just weighing up the options of free wheeling hubs vs ADD.
I am thinking about replacing the std 4.88 diffs on my GV with 5.125 diff centres (bigger tyres and want airlocker) and free wheeling hubs from the wreckers, but I also noticed they have an ADD front diff centre as well.
Now, what are the pros/cons of free wheeling hubs over ADD?
Pros:
- More reliable - one less thing to break namely the little penumatic compressor
- Less wear and tear in the front diff as it is not running permanently
- ???
Cons:
- A bit more inconvenient - have to get out to engage the hubs
- ???
Cheers
