Review on πŸ”’ Enhanced SEO: Pair of WARN 29071 Standard Manual Locking Hubs with 27 Splines by Owen Houser

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable 4x4. Say goodbye to those unreliable automatic lockers.

I don't know why I didn't do this many years ago. I had an awkward moment on a snowy mountain road in New Mexico. My 4WD wouldn't engage and I got stuck on a hill. Luckily I got out of this situation, came home and ordered them. They are extremely easy to install, although you will need a Warn 32720 Spindle Nut Kit. I have a separate review of this and there were some quality issues. Be sure to purchase a 2 3/8 inch spindle nut bushing. It's another $20, but you'll need it to service your rotors and bearings after installing the nut kit. It was installed on my old trusty 1994 Ford Ranger. just over an hour to install both sides. More time was spent jacking up the truck and removing the wheels (with an air wrench) than actually installing the hubs. Oh, and you need a big head to get that old spindle nut off. I forgot how big it was, but I already had it.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Minor issues
