Wish I had it this past spring. Had some spinning front tires suddenly catch traction on a rock, and ended up sending force down to the front diff where I blew the diff. A hub fuse should have prevented the damage from getting past the hub. k_enn

It seems like they blow too easily in a straight line and don't blow soon enough when your wheels are turned - at least that's what someone said... It's a nice idea AAR. _________________________ Warning! Do not sear the top of your neck hole in the molten lactate extract of hoofed mammals.

Anonymous Unregistered	The Hub Fuse is a great idea. I really wish Warn would make a Hub conversion kit for the new X's.

They're freakin' ridiculous. I guess that's not so bad on a new X... but on an old XJ that's like half of what the truck cost! _________________________ Warning!

If I spend $1000 to save a $1500 part it would be worth it. It would also give less rolling resistance on the new X's.
