Could you elaborate a little more cracker as to why you feel that way? Just trying to see if I'm missing something here.
To me it seems like it would be a great way to get lockout hubs on the cheap. I'm one of those people who plans on keeping their 30 as It's HP, already built, and is just fine for my 33's. IMO, it would be a waste of time/effort/$ to swap to a LP44.
As my XJ will never be a trailer queen the benefits for me would be: gaining a fuse-able link, reduced DS vibs, lower wear/tear, larger brakes, stronger hub.
Especially for those with access to milling machines, it seems like a great solution. no?
