Warn Vs. Milemarker hubs??

Hey guys.

I would love some advice on what you guys think about the warn and milemarker hubs. I'm thinking about replacing the stockers with them, but I'm not sure which brand to go with...

Recommendations?

The warn 38826 hubs are $174.04 and the MM 449SS hubs are $141.31 What would you do/what have you done?

Here's a link of a comparison, but I figured I'd ask y'all.

Thanks

I have no experience with Milemarker. I have broken a few sets of stock hubs, but I have never broken a set of Warn hubs.

i have the mile marker ones. they are not as "Beefy" as the warn ones, but they are ALOT better than the stock ones.

my mile markers are very nice. i can turn them on and off with my pinky!

the milemarker build quality is good but i dont like the enguagement prongs they have 3 little arms.. and the warn ones have a full circle that enguages the lockout.. you cant put the warns in wrong. the milemarkers you can.


I had new milemarkers and will never get them again, they were the 449ss

I went with the warn premiums after doing a lot of looking around and reading reviews. The mile marker are good hubs, but the Warns are the best. For $30 more to have the best, why gamble?

I got Warn and haven't had a problem with them since I put the in 5 years ago.
I had the Warn premiums in a 91 F150 and didn't like them, they had the 3/4 turn with the gold **** and they got stiff in the winter, almost needed a wrench to turn them.
