I don't know why you were not impressed by the 1/2 ton Warns. Mine are great, but then, I have the premiums. The only difference between the cheepies on the warns and the premiums is the mechanism that engages the lock.
They could be tougher metal, but then, its a safety mechanism as well for your axle.
With new ones you dont have to worry, but I check mine yearly for bushing wear and such. There are parts in there that can wear down and cause.
And, i'm waiting on FTE Gallery.
Boy do i still wish i had my webserver...
This would take seconds.
Oh, now i have like 12 folders of the same thing. Jeez, this thing is so screwy...
Atleast I know they are in a different folder.
Well, I think i'll write an email while I wait for this.
Okay, well the gallery is broke.
And i can't seem to get in.
Stupid thing.
So no pic. Its in my MISC gallery though, if you want to see what happens when certian parts go bad in hubs. Besides take out spindles.

I have the WARN standard hubs (non-premium) and like em' a lot. I have heard a few guys on here saying that the mile-marker hubs were a little more heavier duty but I have no experience w/them

what r u gonna do with the old hubs once you convert? i would be interested in them for spare parts. i like auto hubs and would like some parts on the shelf just incase. let me know how much you want for them.

Yes! You have to use the 3 piece conversion kit when you go from auto's to manual, the auto spindle nut lock won't work with manuals.
