"Later, I learned that even though I engage 4WD my hubs are not automatically locking? Something about manual locking hubs I think. What's manual mean? I need to read a manual to lock them? lol  So I found these neat autolocking hubs and installed them. Sometimes they dont stay locked while I am backing up, but that's fine because I dont have a backup camera to see where Im going (like our RV) so I just simply dont ever back up"- BigMike

Only thing I know of in Sonora is "The Mudslingers" but those guys are a bunch of dicks.

No, but I do a lot of business with Dave Wong at Dave's Offroad Outlet on Tuolumne Road just before the softball fields.
Great guy. :thumbs:
