Title: 4x4 front hub inserts for my 77?
Post by: 77 4x4 on July 11, 2010, 10:51:52 am

Need the stock 4x4 emblems/inserts for the front hubs.  Can't seem to find them anywhere.  Also, has anyone mounted 33x12.50 tires on a 8 inch rally?  Does it work?  TIA

Not sure where to find the 4x4 inserts but I do know that 33's fit on the rallys.

Someone on here mounted something like that. If u ask me it probably will cause premature tire wear unless you under inflate them but that will cause tire wear also. About the 4x4 stickers I would switch to manual hubs much stronger

Thanks guys.  Irish, I don't really have a need for manual hubs.  I don't do heavy duty trail riding or mudding in this thing.  I just like the 4x4 stickers on the front and back.  Yes, they certainly will cause premature wear, but man they will look good.  It is not a driver so I am not terribly worried about that.  Thanks for the advice guys.

Irish, didn't think about that.  Will do some research on it and may change to manual hubs.  Thanks my man!
