The products are as advertised! I have the lock-out hubs and they are great!
It is very easy to install them, and they do make a big difference! You will
get better mileage and the derivability is greatly improved!
They also will save a lot of wear and tear on the front axle components! I
do recommend them to folks that want to drive the M35A2 on the highway!
Longhunter7 out!
