GATRFEST 2011 OCT 21-23 CARNAGE LIST

Not exactly.  If the TC is in 2wd you'll be in 2wd, but the axle shafts and drive shaft will be turning with flanges.  With hubs the wheels are divorced from the shafts while unlocked.  When locked, hubs work the same as flanges.

Both engage the splines on the outers.  Since the flange is a solid piece of steel, it's not going to break.

Kirt, no one is started on TC's - only diff between locking hubs and flanges, {nln}  {hihi} - but yes, if you want to go that route- that is also true, but you still turn like $h!t if flanges are on and you drop to 2WD- since the wheels will not turn independantly.   {btt}

Fixed.

kvom:
The question was the difference between flanges and hubs, so I was just clarifying that having flanges doesn't mean you're locked in 4wd.  Obviously with a welded/spooled front, you'd want hubs if you plan to drive it on-road.

Will:
You had the right idea, ryan, but the clarification was neccesary because mentioning 4 wheel drive was probably confusing to folks looking to understand the function of a lockout hub, which is to disconnect the hub and outer shaft from the inner shafts.

Anybody fixed their junk yet? I put a new boot on my driveshaft and painted it, but that's about it. Got parts coming today though :)
