Hi all,

I've seen people who have free wheeling hubs on the front of their jimny and I've seen some kits online

What is the purpose of these and are they worth it?

Cheers
Arin

Ah so if the hubs die and 4wd doesn't engage then you change to manual hubs?

yea, you can but adapter plates from jimny bits, in the uk....

then you just need some sierra hubs and your laughing....

then you gotta block the pipes for the vacuum hubs and i think some tinkering with the wires will sort out the dash lights...
