So im going to a set if free wheel hubs BUT do I get manual or automatic? I'd prefer auto as I can put the caps back on my alloys and not have to screw around with then when I want to change to 4w. But I'm concerned with auto ones it would only allow 2w in reverse like tthose stupid X5s. So useless That's purely based on adoption though. Also, all the auto hubs I've seen are like twice the price of manual. What's up with that?

The auto hubs are expensive and i dont know it the cap would go over them anyway would it?

u can always cut a hole in the front hub caps like a few have done so the manual hub pokes through

Yeah I think mine would. The caps are quite tall. I'd need have a measure though

I prefer the manual ones on my l200 ( as long as you don't forget to engage them before greenlaning) . The auto hubs on my foutrak used to stick and were a pain to disengage, driving back and forth like a muppet until they click out 😀

Haha. Yeah I wondered about Stu. Tho my main concern with auto is in reverse. Do yours disengage in reverse in 4w? Or just when you go back to 2w??

another advantage for me is i get to use 2wd low with manual hubs
