There's no such thing as a silly question, just a silly person asking it
:laugh: :laugh: Sorry, just kidding!
That's exactly what I was thinking myself this morning... I've not found anything in any of my research that would suggest this is likely to cause issues. If this is indeed correct then I'm not going to bother with the manual hubs, just keep the auto hubs locked and use the transfer box to change between 2 and 4WD.

If the standard hubs that come on a Jimny can be manually locked by taking the cover off the hub and locking them manually, why not do that and select the 4WD through the transfer box as normal? Does this not negate the need to buy and install new manual hubs, or am I missing something here??
Thanks!

The plan wasn't to put new hubs on and keep them permanently locked... At the minute though I reckon I'll just keep the hubs as they are (locked) and just use the transfer box to select between 2 and 4WD
