Yesterday I blew up a hub lock. It's a warn 5x4.5. It didnt fail internally. I was climbing up a step up and at the top of the step up was large split in the rock. I turned hard left for traction, hitting my hub lock on a rise in the granite. The weight of the jeep blew it up. You can only buy them in pairs so it put me out 260.00 to my door. Pricey!
So now my question is, does anyone know of a product that can slip over the hub lock and bolt to the wheel pattern to protect this from happening again? A nice strong circular cover that slips over it to cover it up while still being able to select the hubs engage/disengage.
It's really just a 5x4.5 plate that slips on and maybe some DOM tubing to go over the hub and welded up.
