I thought the auto hubs were regarded as stronger than the manual ones..
Why would you think that? That has never been true.

Manual hubs and manual shift transfer case would be my first upgrades. Then swap to a 5 speed after that.

My long term plans will likely include all the above as those part become available for a budget minded price.
In the short term, I will use what I have.

Just need to find a donor truck with the goodies I need. The search is on….

FYI to anyone looking at the tires. Discount tire direct has some promos. They have the Cooper Disoverer A/T3 LTX in 31/10.5-15, buy 4 and get a $100 rebate in the form of a Visa gift card.
Also some tires have a $110 instant rebate for a set of 4, including Toyo and some other brands.
And as a military veteran they offer 5% discount. They have stacked it with promos in the past for me, YMMV! I have had the best luck calling the order in.
Cheers!
