X2 - Tony gave me the same advice and I swapped the auto hubs for genuine Nissan - fair enough, I flog my rig more than others, but still, I take comfort in knowing the whole thing is strong rather than simply waiting for the hubs to fault due to being the "weak point" ... I'd rather none of them break at all ... that my furry friend is 'generally' up to the driver (remember that 90% driver comment someone made??!!! lmao).

One size fits all - may have to change the locking nut and circlip, but manual hubs for GQ and GU ate the same I believe ...

Anyone? Happy to be wrong on this one and would like confirmation either way.

That's the problem - I and a lot of others don't - and under stress, they will fail you at some stage (don't forget also, your auto hubs are essentially unlocked in reverse!). Manuals are the way to go for any form of semi extreme work mate - I used to manually lock my autos in with the tyre iron for this very reason even before I swapped them out for manuals.

I believe so, but as said, may have to change circlips etc which I'd like confirmation on from others.

I'm constantly worried my auto hubs will fail.... Guys at the Patrol club have all told me to get rid of them and get manuals.
