PS> Brian, my friend is 6'6", ...he didn't like being so close to the roof off road, so He did a seat mod with some aftermarket ones. Worked out great, and gave him like nearly 3" of more head room. Just a thought...not sure if it's a problem at 6'8", but I'd imagine so. Amazing how roomy these lil things are, though, eh?

lol, no just don't feeling beating the heck outta a spring to make it fit where it wasn't meant to fit. But then again I do that to my truck. Ask 92Toy he can confirm. lol.

Well, you'll get plenty of input on that as well, I'm sure. lol. I have the Warn Premium Chromium Steel Cap and Dial Hubs....because I'd heard the stock ones they offer can bust pretty easily. I've used mine a few times, but not TONS, but they worked GREAT! Especially compared to my AutoLocking Hubs. Lol! We humped a few very rocky creeks and lil logs, and, well, they stayed locked! lol. Some will recommend you just go with the Aisin Hubs, and in fact, I'm sure there are a couple guys on here that might be selling some.
PS> What brings you to say "100% sure they're shot"?? Just curious...maybe it's a quick fix that some guys on here can run through with you?( I mean, you have to tear them down anyway, right?) ....it COULD be the adjustment nut or something, ya know? I remember having to tear back down one of my Warns because I'd misread something in the instructions. Then the second hub was a piece-o-cakeola! lol. OH YEAH, ...except for those cone washers, ....luckily, I read up and found the easy method to remove them before mangling them with a Punch like the STUPID BOOK called for! Yep, a Brass Shaft and a Hammer, ....tap tap tap, ...SHLINGGGGG they flew! I think Toyota wanted like 65$ for a set of those! hahaha.

Before you do anything with the hubs, when and/or if you have me come down there to help out with the lift etc. etc, Let me take look at those hubs. Not that you did anything wrong with them the last time you rebuilt them, but there is very little that can go wrong with the AISIN hubs.

swimmer... im telling you right now... ive SEEN Aisin hubs in situations that you wouldnt want ADD plates going near... theres a reason people run those in their rock buggies with GOBS of torque... Theres also a reason why people dont run the WARN ones...
Warn hubs stick out VERY far and can more easily get caught on a rock... and ive heard 5000:1 horror stories of warns VS Aisins...
i say post up pictures of the cracked gears... ive personally never heard of that happening before... after posting up the pics, go out and buy another used set of hubs and rebuild them... do the work yourself versus spending a grip of cash on having someone else do it...
you got a good head on your shoulders, it seems, but we just gotta keep filling it with the right information...
