Probably need a few pictures
otherwise, you probably looking at $100-$200 for hubs. Everyone has opinions on them, too
On a closer look it looks like somebody broke the bolt off in the hole, will get new ones
Looking at the other side I think it's actually a really small roller pin instead of a bolt. Anyway will get new ones
I know I'm getting caught up in little things but everything is kind of new. Will make real progress tomorrow
Warm makes good hubs, if not spendy. I use the non-premium. Then when you rock hump one, it’s not a big deal
I’ve blown some of them up, but that’s true for most of those brands. Didn’t care for the Superwinch hubs, and the Mile Markers aren’t well loved
Yukon makes some, and they hold up well

I don’t remember there being a tiny bolt inside the hub. As others have said...post a pic

I agree..Stay away from Mile Markers. I’ve always used Warn because that what they came with & they always worked well

I was thinking you had something in the hub.
I keep a box of those around, always rubbing them off. They are soft & don’t fair well against Rocks
i may actually try to hunt down a pin and drill another hole to repair. at the rate my parts are getting here it likely will be faster and 200 bucks is 200 bucks
Finally some progress, not on the frame but will be when bushings get here

Looking good. it wasn’t too long ago when I was at that point...
considering where you are now, thats encouraging
Waiting on parts and couldn't sandblast thanks to the tropical storm so I did find roller pins at harbor freight and went ahead and fixed the locking hub. Shined up nice and saved me from having to order new ones
Also if anybody can use these I'll send em to you, assuming they are first gen wheel bearing seals

Cleaned up nicely
The front spring bushings are kicking my butt. I just got the ones from ord and I ordered front and rear eyes along with the shackle bushings. All the ones that came are 1 1/8". problem is the front eye takes a 1 3/8 bushing. I may be missing something. I will call them tomorrow but I thought I would post in case anybody ran into the same problem

I too ordered without measuring thinking they were a standard size...silly us! Lol. I have a new package sitting on a shelf in the garage that matches yours
Ok, I feel a little better now. I was wondering if I had some weird aftermrket spring they dont make bushings for. Back to waiting on parts. If my parking brake cables get here i will finish my rear axle and at least get that put on the frame
