Just bought some Overson Engineering Lockout Hubs.

Just gave the nice man a credit card number to order them and get them shipped to where the deuce is in PA. That way they'll be waiting for me when I get there next week and I can bolt them on for the trip to Reading and then back home.

Ryan,
I'd like to read your review on your hubs after installation and a test drive as I too am thinking of purchasing a set. If I'm not mistaken there were 2 version available for purchase,,, standard duty & heavy duty??? Which set did you choose?
Thanks, Jeff.

It's an Airshift. I bought the Cast units. The Billet ones aren't that much better, but apparently, the chaps at OE started making them because some of the rock crawler crowd was worried about the cast units failing. I suppose if you hit the hub with a huge rock as you roll over on your side it could be broken.....*shrug*

Yup, like he said the cast are just as strong and the only way to get billet is have randy do a special run. 750 a set. I just bought five sets of cast and have been selling them. Got one set left if any one is interested we can make a deal. I belive i had a post some time ago offering to group members only.

if you flip your deuce and bust the hub, you'll probably bust yourself

Dang. I checked back posts to see, but wasn't sure of the status of that. Figured it was long past. I paid $595 for the set, how much more did I pay?

Here's the hubs installed.

Looks good from a distance. Perhaps some flat black paint on the wheels and hubs will help conceal them more.

nice step by step pics

 

[jwaller]

hey ryan did you notice any driveability changes. from your pics I am guessing you have an air shift.

 

[rmgill]

Haven't driven it yet. I'm up in Canada right now. We left last night from outside philly at 10pm, drove all night, got into near Toronto this morning loaded a CMP HUP, then drove up past Toronto to another town to get an armored hull from Minakers Junk Yard. We're crashing in a hotel Near Toronto and then driving back to the Philly area tomorrow.

Ryan if you get this before your trip back.... whats your intended route?

 

[rmgill]

We'll be going back through Toronto and Buffalo then south to Philly. Will we be near you you think?

 

[mangus580]

if you traveled east a ways on 90 (say to 81) you would be.... but I suspect you have already past...

 

[rmgill]

$595.
