One of the original auto hubs had cracked so I had to replace either way and I believe the manual hubs are stronger so a quick look around for a pair of hubs at $185 and I was sold. Not too much messing around to put them in. my brother and I did it in an afternoon slowly working out how they went together.

Looks like the starter battery is failing.
And the second battery is failing a load test.
Second battery only changed in February.
Might need ideas.
If my second battery is still under warranty, and replaced, I'm thinking of making it my starter.
Then decide what to do for second battery.
More Ah more crank, longer lasting battery than what I currently have, which is the Century Ultra High Performance 4WD battery.

I had a century 4wd replaced under warranty last week , bit of a hassle as they had the battery for a day and a half to test it and even though they are 770cca they will not deam it as warranty unless it goes below 650cca as that is still deamed a good battery ! Mine was just over that but because it is deamed enough for the average passenger car , Wasn't till I told them it was starting a 6cyl diesel that they agreed to replace it , and I only got balance of existing warrenty (2 months ) on the new one .

Finally wired up some rear LED strip lights in the barn doors. Also last week wired in a digital temp controller for the Engel so now I have constant accurate temperature inside my fridge with no trial and errorI also have a wireless temp probe so I can see what temps are doing in the cab or while around the camp.
I realised today, I'm travelling over 110kms to and from work a day.
