    Superior to auto hubs. Then again, I don't like many things in automatic to begin with...

    Off Road Solutions has a kit for 1100 (Warn hubs) or 925 (OEM, Aisin, hubs). Not sure exactly what it includes but it exists, for sure.

    Manual hubs are stronger and simpler than automatic ones, and are easier/cheaper to fix or replace.
