Best Locking Hub for 82 CJ7?

[Jeffncs]

I have the stock locking hubs on my 82 CJ7 and they’re functional but really require upgrade. (Missing mounting bolts, chipped, etc.)

My research has shown no Warn option exists for the 5 bolt mount. Mile Marker and Rugged Ridge both offer solutions.... Which is better and why? The asking price for each varies from about $125 to $190.

Thanks.

Warn 28751?

Nevermind, those are the stock replacement and not an upgrade.

Back in the day, the best ones were Superwinch. I beat the snot out of them. I don't really see them available, but I would go with the Mile Marker. They look similar. I can't give you a reason, other than Warn never made a good hub for the 5 bolt that was any good.

Warn had a conversion kit. I have it and it works well. I'll see what the part number is for it...I also read somewhere that Yukon bought the rights to it??

AVM made the superwinch hubs and they were the best option for the 5 bolt hub without doing the WARN hub conversion.
These are the same style, don't know if they are still made by AVM.Rugged Ridge Manual Locking Hubs - Pair | Morris 4x4

Converting to 6 Bolts hubs opens up more options as well.
Looks like Collins Bro. has them a little cheaper.
