yeah, once I got the same problem and having the lathe at my work I cut a groove for locking ring. I had an idea to thread for self locking nut, but to make a groove was easier.

btw, vac. controlled hubs is a good idea, but usually vac. hoses are easy to damage with mud, stones and branches, ice and I'd recomend you to to get manual hubs.

I had funny accident with manual hubs. we had some fun in old UAZ 469 and when we got in stuck in deep mud we realised that hubs are off and i tried to climb on the hood from driver's window and keeping miself tide turn hub *****. with lest hub it was successfull, but on pass. side I fall down in mud... ouh, nobody had camera on... it coul be good AFV blooper....

LOL, pablo, I have a real good mental image of that one! I have done similar things trying to hook up a winch (sprawled out across the hood leaning over the front).

off road driving is a lot of fun.

yeah, there are no cops there and sometimes we drive drunk a bit. onece my drunk brother wanted me to drive aerostar near the lake, close to water and we got in stuck so deep in sand! we had nothing to dig her out and when guys pushed the van ladies dig wheels out with licensie plate (it was old soviet made of steel, now they make them of aluminium)

it is not all, it was March, cold... but when we pushed out van it was hot for us and brother's drunk friend went swiming. his clothing was absolutely wet. and he asked my brother's wife to give him her fur till he is alive. he put his clothing on roof rails to get dry and his pants on right rear view mirror.
driving throught so hard terrain we broken PS line (I had to remove PS belt to save pump) and speedo cabel. we drag speedo cabel on pavement driving home on hightway and it was sparkly))))! cops pulled us over with quations what's a fire show on road, but when we stoped cabel was lost.... had to install new later.... and they were shoked with pants on mirrow, some clothing on roof and naked man in ladie's fur. they asked me am I drunk, I answered them - look at them - they are really drunk....so I'm sober... LOL, no FST, but a lot of fun for cops, when we told them what happened... well, after this night advanture old Aerostar was taken apart in garage for 3 days.
