How many splines (both inner and outer) are the front axles on a TJ Rubicon? Not sure if it's 27 or 30...
Is there a way to convert the outer hubs to 30 spline?
My TJ doesn't have unit bearings Chris, it has Warn hubs which make use of standard serviceable inner/outer bearings.
Warn still sells all the replacement hub parts, that's how I got my replacement and spare hubs last year. Warn just no longer sells the complete unit-bearing to manual hub conversion kits. You'd have to piece a hub conversion kit together out of parts you'd have to round up. Blaine can help you on the parts needed for a conversion.I was looking at purchasing some NOS Warn hubs for my TJ. My major concern though is that if they completely stop making parts for them altogether then they become unserviceable and therefore a complete waste of money once they need to be services (or break).

Yep the mpg benefit rumor for manual hubs is strictly a myth when compared to modern unit-bearing hubs. And while driving on the highway , I absolutely cannot tell when my hubs are locked or unlocked. The only way I can tell is to look at the hubs to see if they're locked or not.Is there any real benefit to having manual hubs? I know the gas mileage thing is a myth from what I've heard.
