i vote milemarker, if youre not to xtr3me with youre 4-wheeling they work just as well as the more expensive warn hubs, and if youre going to have a weak link in youre drivetrain, why not have be the hubs, its easier and cheaper to swap a hub than a axleshaft and its real easy to carry a spare set "just in case"

warn has been ardound longer than milemarker and for extreme offroading you need something that is indestructable like i said,you have to new of a vehicle to really appreciate hard core offroading ,like say a cj7,cj5,70's to 80's chevy's,older fords ,dodges,you know real offroad rigs, warn is the real mans choice when it comes to off roading extreme !!!!

if you compare warn premiums with milemarker supremes the milemarkers have more metal in the hub and they are just more solid and of higher quality. a lot of comp rigs run milemarker 35 spline hubs if that says anything (prolly not to most of you)

everyone thinks warn is better b/c they have been around for so long, and dont get me wrong they are great, but i love both my sets of milemarkers

warns are not that expensive, i bought a set for my d44 for like 65-70 bux. but what i like about them and i dont know if m/m does it, but they click when u u lock em. So u know they are locked. and they are easy to install. pull the hub off clean out all the springs and put the warn in and u're ready to go!!

dixiemudder04, most hubs do what you just said. Mile Marker, Warn, superwinch, ect...
I have warns on my bronco, but that's only b/c it came with them. I was going to buy Mile Marker myself, and if I have any problems with my warns, I'm going to buy MM.

I went with MileMarker years ago, mainly because of the price, and I didn't see any real difference in construction. I have Warns on my '79 D44, so I know they're a nice product too. I like that Warns are made in the USA, but when I go to 35 spline outers on my D60, I'll stick with MileMarker.

I just found out how strong MileMarkers are going up a rutted hill backwards. You can even hear the cute little "snap" on the video we made.

Actually I only gave it enough gas to keep my momentum, but I was backing up, so I can only go so fast. My friend suggested I do it and he'd get some video on my camera. I did it twice before, but the only complete run on video is third where the hub bust near the top. The hill is dirt and loose rock, but it's full of ruts where everyone tries going up in two wheel drive. I'm surprised it broke. I have the video, I just don't have a place to put it.

After some consideration, I put an order in for the Warn 35-spline hublocks. It looks like Warn uses their 30-spline hub bodies and just bores out the "intermediate" (sliding) gear to fit a larger 35-spline inner gear. If MileMarker does the same, there won't be much meat left on the intermediate gear. Who knows? I'm not sure since I couldn't find any pictures of the MileMarker guts, so I just went with Warn.

How much longer has Warn been around? I know a Ford/Marmon farm truck (58-60 not exactly sure) has Milemarker selectros on it and they are original.

http://chevy.off-road.com/chevy/arti....jsp?id=200787

here are some close ups of the MM's
http://www.eurekaboy.com/f250/hub.htm

just some more info before buying

i have personally seen a set of MM's take the abuse and beating from a buggy that a set of warn premiums were being replaced regularly!
